When you get your starter pack the same day your sick as a dog... only more motivation to get better to get back out there and kickass!! #starkenergy #lovewhatyoudo #fitnessjourney #fitnotskinny #everydayisprogress #strongasoak (at Elk Grove Village, Illinois)

Busted my ass at today’s WOD. It was hot and I decided to up it by throwing on a weighted vest in honor of my grandpa’s birthday. He was a firefighter and I miss him dearly. Thank you @we_are_strongasoak for the loaner and and oddly enough I enjoyed it. #workhardplayharder #missyougrandpa #strongasoak #strongasoakbootcamps #lovewhatyoudo #livesorenation #bustinass #hotashelloutside #sweatmore (at HartFit Spartan SGX & Flatline OCR)

I didn’t think I’d ever have the opportunity to meet this amazing athlete! In the sport that is OCR she is my hero! I can’t thank her enough for the hug, talking with me, and this great memory. This weekend’s Chicago Super was one of the muddiest I’ve ever ran. I may of gotten sunburned like crazy, but my whole weekend was completely worth it! I can’t wait for my next adventure. #nationalseries #spartanrace #spartansuper #chicago #ilovemud #myhero #ocr #irun4ryland #strongasoak #nevergiveup #ilovewhatido (at Richmond, Illinois)

I don’t give this man enough credit. He does so much for this family of ours, and it would take me a life time and more to ever repay him. At times we may argue, we are no where near perfect, but we share common goals. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for him and I. ❤️ He’s truly my knight in shining armor. #spartancouple #strongasoak #onedayatatime #mybestfriend #myeverything #rideordiechick #truelove #family (at Chicago Botanic Garden)

Working on hand transfers on lunch... Two weeks ago I wasn’t able to get as far as I did just now. Progress is happening. #strongerthenyesterday #alittlebettereveryday #ocrtraining #strongasoak #saoracing #livesore #handtransfers

Last Saturday I had an opportunity to meet this amazing lady!! I’ve been wanting to pick this book up to help me with my Spartan Racing and it couldn’t of been a more perfect of a time. Sarah I can’t thank you enough and I hope that you heal up soon! I hope to see you on the course! #spartantraining #lovewhatido #strongasoak #cruisethecourse #saowreckbag5kish #training #lifestylechange #spartanathlete (at Oakhurst County Forest Preserve)

When you go on a small recovery bike ride from a badass workout the day before. The wind sucked, and it didn’t help I’m a sucker for pain and had it on the hardest gears. #recoveryride #gtmountainbike #onedayatatime #strongasoak #alittlebettereveryday #strongerthanyesterday #fitnessmotivation #sunandsweat (at Elk Grove Village, Illinois)

Cold and windy, just a typical Spring day in Chicago. Still having issues running in the cold, but for the weather I dealt with, I couldn’t complain with my time. Thanks to @rocktape for keeping my knees pain free, & thanks to @qalo for the just in time delivery for my new ring! #chicago #chishuffle #shamrockshuffle #livesore #livesorenation #altratorin #altrarunning #irun4ryland #strongasoak #rocktape #dowhatyoulove #qaloring
