COACHES NOTES:

Being Tammy's nephew I have had the oppurtunity to know her my whole life.  For this reason I have seen the most change in her from when she started CrossFit to now.  A few accomplishments I have personally witnessed of her over the past several months are, First Box Jump, First Time Running, Moving from scaled push-ups (off the wall) to un-scaled push-ups, Burpees (prior to starting CrossFit she needed help getting up off the ground) sorry for bringing that one up Tammy.  I am so proud to be her Coach and Nephew and am encouraged to see her progress each and every week.  After all she has never quit coming.  With a stress-fracture / broken leg she continued to come doing, kettlebell work, sit-ups, push-ups and who could miss her 1 legged rowing. 

If you see Tammy around the Box be sure and give her a pat on the back. 

She is going in for surgery on her leg to correct the injury she has been suffering from on November 9th and will take a few weeks off and then we will see her back killing the WODS in not time.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK EVERYBODY!!!!

I want to thank everybody who showed up for our Barbells for Boobs event and threw down on Grace. There where many P.R.'s from first time RX's to blowing previous P.R. times out of the water.

We raised over $455 for Mammograms in Action plus got one hell of a workout. We as trainers are very proud of our BRCF family!!!
