  “SO FOR THE TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY event of the ‘We Hate Trains’ club, I was thinking about making a cake? It’ll probably have a really badly drawn train on it made out of icing but crossed out, it’s there IRONICALLY, you know? And I could put ‘Happy Trainiversary’ on it? Or...NOT happy trainiversary, that one would make more sense.” Yes, he’s talking about the day he was traumatized, hit by a train, and almost died along with his friends several times. It’s how he copes.

Why You Started vs. Why You Continued- The Power of Community

While eating a fabulous meal with two of my favorite fit lady friends in Nashville, TN, I asked, “would you do all these workouts on your own? What if our box (gym) didn’t exist, would you still do what you do?” For pretty much all the same reasons, we agreed that the answer would be, “no.”

I just recently had my two years trainiversary in Crossfit. I’m still new and very much a developing athlete. What started out as just a means to getting fit has evolved into Strongman competitions. I just recently pulled a 10,000# fire truck in 55 seconds. It’s crazy and I love it. But would I be here on my own? No. A beautiful friend (Heather) allowed me to train with her in the wee hours of the morning starting in the winter of 2016. Although I’d been doing Crossfit for a few months before, I’d found more excuses not to show up than reasons why I should. I was a struggling mother of two who wasn’t satisfied, always angry, and horribly out of shape. My opinion of myself was pretty low and I assumed others felt the same way. Fortunately, most mornings it was just Heather and me so there wasn’t an overwhelming feeling to try to fit in nor did I feel embarrassed when I had trouble doing certain movements or fell behind multiple rounds. More people joined us as months passed and for awhile I was ALWAYS the last athlete to finish or score the least amount of reps. Eventually, that was no longer the case. I had set a goal of competing at the Working Wounded Games in Maryland so my training schedule adjusted. My hard work was finally paying off.

Today, I was asked about why I travel an hour to a Strongman gym and the answer without hesitation was, “because this is my community.” Sure, I could read about doing Strongman movements. Heck, I could watch YouTube videos to explain some of those movements. BUT, nothing is like having someone cheer you on, give you feed back, and school you on what works best to lift the most. That comes from people, the ones in the flesh. My friend John Stitt invited me into the community and Derek Stone allowed me to stay. My girl Brittany Orten took me under her wing on day one. Feeling welcomed and accepted will always keep the door open.

I started this journey as a means to keep up with my two wild daughters and yet the journey produced an identity for me…one that I had thought I’d lost once I became a mother. The reason I continue is because of the community. It’s amazing to have people who push you and support you and that’s why I continue to love what I do.

Why did you start? Why do you continue?
