Everyday Life CrossFit

Julia has been Crossfitting with us for about 10 months now and not only is she the burpee challenge Queen, but recently she took her CrossFit muscles down to Mississippi to help others...

I LOVE CROSSFIT

The week of February 8-15 I made my 4th trip to Mississippi for Katrina rebuilding. The work we do there often involves ripping things down and then building them again...this particular week one of the things we did was rip out floors in "Miss Gwen's" house only to discover termit damage to the studs so even many of the studs had to be ripped out and hauled away. To get a break from being inside, I happily volunteered to drag the old floor to the curb for trash pick up. It was a chance to get in some crossfit-ing during the week. I had a blast throwing around 2x4's all morning because it was so easy to do! I thought of my crossfit pals at Apex all the while. Thanks Crossfit for helping me stay strong so I can keep doing the things that I love.

Miss Gwen was served an eviction notice for her Mississippi Cottage the week we were working on her home. The good news is that because of some new policies that went into place last week and because of the volunteers' work on the home, it looks like Miss Gwen will get her home finished before her Mississippi Cottage is taken away. Mississippi is only about 20% rebuilt, remember the Gulf!
