WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ME

In 2013,  I was turning 40 during the year and thought maybe it was time to make a few changes. I gave up smoking 20 cigarettes a day, lost some weight and took up running. I was always the back of the pack runner. I documented by running and early foray into CrossFit in my mcbegintorun@blogspot.com.  

I was never athletic when I was younger, I could never imagine that running or any fitness really and I were a natural fit. But I really love it! 

I fell in love with CrossFit which is par for the course with it. I am cheerleader and not a competitor except for the CrossFit open. I have travelled widely to watch some amazing athletes compete locally, nationally and internationally. I would have called myself a consistent but not highly skilled CrossFitter and Working out was a part of my daily routine until 2019 when life got in the way. And although I have done CrossFit and worked out since then it has not been at the same level or consistency. But that is about to change!!
 
I live with my husband John in a very pictureque part of Ireland. I Love listening to CrossFit related Podcasts, U2 (because they are the best) and anything really which catches my ear. I also love taking many many photos 'Capturing all the memories'..

I love to travel and looked forward to visiting new cities and countries once again

Like a lot of people in 2020 I put on a few pounds, a series of Covid lockdowns, 5K restrictions and pizza Friday's all attributed to my weight gain. But if I'm honest I just over ate. I had already gained some weight during 2019, I am an emotional eater and 2019 was an emotional year!  I started 2020 with best of intentions and settled into a good routine. But, the first Covid lockdown put an end to my good intentions especially with regards my eating habits. Working out during the lockdowns was never an issue as there was little else to do. Even though during the lockdown I worked out it wasn't the same I couldn't find the same intensity as I had when in a gym setting. I got back into the gym in July 2020 an...
