Happy Easter 2017

Happy Easter everyone!! Today will be a fun day with Mark's side of the family. We go to his cousin Jimmy's house in Dover. Uncle Christian (Mark's brother) will be there and that is always a blast. Christian has a fantastic sense of humor so all we do is laugh. There is something special about each person in the Chisholm family...everyone accepts each other for who they are and everyone is truly happy for one another when something great happens in their life. No one judges or criticizes. It is a beautiful thing! I love being around them. Everyone asks, how are your clients, how's work, are you running the marathon this year, how is CrossFit going? That would never happen with my siblings. Sad but true. Fitness is my passion, it is my life and I love it! I am proud of what I do each day. I hope everyone has a wonderful day today! XO

Soooo much going on! This weekend 4/21/17 is The Comptrain Camp that I am attending in Natick at CrossFit New England. I signed up for it last fall and it is in 5 days! I will be training with THE BEST OF THE BEST...Ben Bergeron and Katrin Davidsdottir. Katrin Davidsdottir is the fittest woman on earth. She won the CrossFit Games 2 years in a row! I am soooo excited that I get goose bumps when I think of it. It is 3, 8 hour days of hard-core training, nutrition lectures and programming for athletes. After the CrossFit Open 2017 Mark qualified for the Masters Qualifier so he will be doing 4 brutal CrossFit WOD's the same weekend. Mark is #44 in the world for ages 50-54. 2 months ago I emailed the head coach of CrossFit New England and I asked him if Mark could do the Master Qualifier WOD's at CFNE while I was attending the camp. Harry, the head Coach emailed me back yesterday(finally) and said YES he could. WOO-HOO!! CFNE has 15 men and woman that made it to the Masters Qualifier so Mark will be working with the best coaches and 15 other masters athletes. It will be so much more motivating for him doing the workouts with other people his age instead of doing these workouts by himself with 1 judge and 1 person video-taping.  His chances to go to the CrossFit Games in August just increased by 15%!! If for some reason he doesn't come out in the top 20 after the 4 workouts at least he knows he did everything possible to get there!

Below is a clip of the camp I am attending. That is Ben talking (yes, I have a crush..he is a brilliant, passionate man) and Katrin is running up the hill. Check it out....
