Articles, Stories, Journals....

I come across lots of articles and I really like to share them with you.

Smiling is Contagious
This is written by Michele Letendre, a crossfit games competitor. She never realized before how or why she inspires other athletes; she has recently realized that she does indeed have an impact on many of us. Also to close her little journal, she includes a very moving bit that makes me look up to her even more, beyond just a crossfit athlete.

Mind Over Matter
I may or may not have read this two or three times. It's that good! But not just good-it's true, 100% accurate, motivating, inspiring, and so much more. This is a MUST read if you train, compete, or just simply want to. It may give one an epiphany if they find excuses or lack motivation or just not 'there' yet. It will make athletes push even more and really undestand what it takes.
Seriously, I absolutely love it. I have shared it with many of my friends and even forwarded it to my motivation, Andrea Ager, who I'm sure would appreciate this writing as well.

BoxLife Mag: Andrea Ager
Speaking of Andrea Ager, here is the link to the article of her from BoxLife magazine. Again, she is probably my number one motivation and always has been. Reading her words always drives me.

CrossFit-Beauty in Stregnth

I watch this video, literally, about once a week. Why? Because honestly I can picture myself in the video and speaking the words these women are speaking. I believe CrossFit has changed my not only my physique but my mindset of how I should or want to look.
I look up to these CrossFit athletes : Rita, Andrea, and Jackie. I follow them on IG/blogs etc. and am constantly picking up tips and advice to help make myself become a better CrossFit athlete. These women participate in competitions, smash PR's, and are pretty much more BA than lots of men. They push me even through the photographs and the messages they write on their IG posts. Obviously it is a goal of mine to meet these women in person but until then their social media will have to suffice. I strive to become a CrossFit athlete that, hopefully one day, someone would say "I look up to Carah" or "Carah inspires me."
It would be a dream of mine for me to do some kind of video like this with others CrossFit athletes in hopes to spread the love of CrossFit out to the community.

Here is the video:
