I began my fitness journey after years of a sedentary lifestyle, beginning with biking, then running, until the mid-2010s, when I began doing boot-camp style workouts. Eventually a couple of our friends, Tonya Nelson and Karen Herring, began running bootcamps, then Karen began The Colony CrossFit, and with my husband Chris joining me, I became member 1. Since then, my fitness has dramatically improved, and it has allowed me to explore my world in entirely new ways. My latest adventures including multiple fitness competitions, competing at the Deka World Championships in Ocala, Florida in 2024 for the Deka Mile Co-Ed Team division in our age group, running 2 trail half-marathons in 3 days in the mountains of New Mexico and along the rim of the Grand Canyon, and many other activities I couldn't have imagined 10 years ago.
