Still riding that #hyrox high this week. And truthfully, none of this would be possible without my boys @coach.asa and @devante.e 🩵If you’ve been following for awhile, you know I have a faulty back. 12 weeks out of Hyrox Ottawa, I aggravated my disc. I could barely touch my toes and they got me there. This time around, my training block looked different but goal was the same. Make my body perform and keep the back in check… and for the most part everything held up. I wouldn’t be able to do anything without these two. I drive them absolutely, positively, insane with my high energy… and somehow they ground me every single time. And I probably make their heads spin, but I’m almost certain, I really am, their favourite client😜🤪🤣Everyone I refer to them, who has an injury and simply wants to get better or perform, always says the same thing, “it’s a little hidden gem”. I adore them both deeply and I promise to prioritize rest…. for now or until the next crazy thing comes up 😜And I know, for certain, one of you is doing a mixed doubles hyrox with me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 by @theuptownmarker

I would be lying if I told you I like running. To be honest, I’m still chasing that runner’s high and I don’t ever know if I will get it. But the Queen of Running @krystleltaylor makes it look easy and lovable. So this training block, I ran with the best. Of course my body went into flight, every single time I was beside her, but her encouragement, positive attitude and love for running slowly transferred over to me. Learning from my last race, I knew my running had to improve. And I wouldn’t want anyone else in my corner than Krystle to run alongside with, even when my body was questioning why I was doing this again. I remember back to last year…I could barely run around the block and now we’re cruising … different paces but together. Her dedication to her training blocks inspire me to be better. Plus her energy and joy is contagious. She’s genuinely one of the best people I know! One step in front of another is easy when you have Krystle in your corner cheering you on. I might not be a runner, but my girl made me look at running a little bit differently this time around. Those rage KM’s definitely helped at #hyroxtoronto , especially before those wall balls! Thanks for constantly being my cheerleader, friend and most importantly, reminding me, I can really do anything I put my mind to🩵🩵🩵 by @theuptownmarker

I couldn’t have made it back into this arena without @taniagaudio and @suzzie2qt . They push you physically and mentally… even though I question them all the time😜 My second home, my Freddies, our dear FREDrick… T and Su not only created a gym for us to set goals and get stronger, they created this community where no one gets left behind. A community where, if you ever need the push, someone will be there. A community where, when it gets a little dark and twisty, they’ll cheer even louder for you, to bring you back to light. A community where, your goals, become their goals. A community where, when you want to do something, a herd of them will come and support you. @fred.athletics just isn’t a gym… it’s a powerhouse of women that believe in you, every step of the way… even when T and Su start yelling at you… it’s because they love you🩵 FRED chicks came to shine at #hyrox this weekend, and yes, we definitely did it best ✨ by @theuptownmarker

Every time I step into this role, I always get a little emotional. Not because of fear, because I’m beyond grateful. Grateful @healing_through_om_yoga gave me this opportunity to facilitate alongside herself, @down.to.earth.wellness and @yoga.with.cass . Just being mentioned with them, being in the same room with them, teaching with them, still gives me goosebumps. And here we are, with a new group of students, that get to absorb the beautiful teachings of yoga over the next 10 months. I can’t wait for them all to learn, to practice, to dream big, to go inward and be on this transformative personal journey. And so, with a grateful heart, I get to be a tiny part of this cohort’s journey. I promise to bring my big energy, an open heart, and most importantly, a safe space to crack you all wide open🩵🩵🩵 by @theuptownmarker
