Crossfit Norcal Qualifier

Hello family and friends! This past weekend Kim and I participated in the Crossfit Norcal Qualifier. "CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide." We attempted to be one of the top five qualifiers to make it to the International Crossfit Games. Unfortunately we didn't qualify, but we had a great time trying! I decided to write this post (Kim doesn't know I'm writing it) to let Kim know how amazed and proud I am of her! After just a couple months of training, and learning how to perform Olympic lifting and some specific exercises the week before, she EARNED 6Th place. She competed against elite athletes who have been doing these movements for years. This achievement is just one example of how amazing she is! More importantly, she is the most selfless, giving, kind, loving, charitable, and considerate person I know. She is an amazing mother and wife! Rylee, Brody and I are blessed to have her in our lives! We are...."NO LESS THAN BLESSED!" I love you Kimberly!
