I've been fortunate in my years involved with CrossFit to participate in local events, CrossFit Regionals and Games, and GRID, but the World Police and Fire Games will probably top them all. It's going to be exciting to see and judge all the different people that put their lives at risk every single day. Good luck to all athletes from around the world! . #CrossFit #WPFG #police #firefighter #lawenforcement (at Los Angeles Police Academy)

I miss being in the ring as a fighter. After I retired I coached in this case at the WPFG in #yvr my last appearance was in New York where I had the privilege of meeting Joe Frazier. #boxing #yyc #yycnow #wpfg #paininc #fighter #dowork

Honor and respect to those who didn't make it to 2016. Pass it on.

We should have had this event in the #WPFG  with the fire trucks.  I would have definitely signed up for that.

Goal setting... Go big or go home!

It's been on my mind for a couple of weeks now, with the World Police and Firefighter Games going on in Virginia and the PanAm Games in Toronto.

Today, I decided to set a goal for myself, to push my boxing to the next level.  I will do everything in my power to climb in the ring at the WPFG 2017 which will take place in Montreal. 

Why?  To push harder, to prove to myself that I can do it, to have something to train for.  2 years, to lose about 70lbs, to become stronger, faster, and become a good boxer.  I need a victory in my life.  Whether I lose all the rounds I fight there, means nothing.  Just climbing in that ring will be my victory. 

I have been back at boxing for 5 months now.  Prior to that, my original intro to boxing was back in 2005, when my ex boyfriend (who was a fighter) taught me the basics.  I was very frustrated with it back then.  I wasn't good at it, and it bothered me.  My attitude was not the best either.  I would go once in a while, never committing to it.  At some point, I just quit.  Between the years 2008-2012 I was in a pretty bad place mentally. 

January 2015, I was sent to training for work, to get my sidearm.  A very physical training, leaving me sore, and bruised at the end of each day.  But what a ride it was!  I had a blast.  It is during this course, that I hit the bag again for the first time in nearly 4 years.  And I realized how much I missed boxing.  When I came back home, I started going to the boxing club again, and this is where I am at now.

I boxe between 3-4 times a week now.  I have changed the way I eat to fuel those workout.  In the last 5 months, I knew I had improved, but I had no idea how much, until I saw the video of myself hitting the heavy bag last week.  I was faster than I thought, hit harder than I thought... I was very pleased with what I saw.

Competing again in something makes me smile.  I have always been a competitive person.  This one though, is against myself.  My fears, my limits...

I am terrified, yet excited about this new venture.  2 years to become a decent boxer... I can do this.

Torch relais par équipe 2015: Jour 8

Le flambeau est arrivé à destination. Mission accomplie !

La flamme illumine maintenant  sa nouvelle demeure, où elle résidera pour les deux prochaines années.

Les courbatures et la douleur disparaissent peu à peu, mais les liens tissés entre les athlètes, les accompagnateurs, et toutes les personnes rencontrées au cours du voyage, demeurent bien vivants.

Torch Relay Team: Day 8

Author:  Michel Bonin

The torch as been delivered.

The flame is warming up it's new home where it will stay for the next two years.

Mission accomplished.

The aches and pain are fading away but the relationships created through the journey will not fade away. They will never burn out just like the flame and what it stands for.
