Burpees and Sit outs and of course RUNNING What would your perfect WOD look like? Bench press for sure, pull-ups and some rowing What is one thing you have been able to accomplish since starting at Mi5 that you never thought you'd be able to do? Lots of things! I never walked into a gym until I was 42 years old, I’m proud that I have been able to complete the Murph 3 times and I’ve shown improvement every year J What motivates you to stay fit? I have 2 daughters, I want them to know that you can do anything at any age. What is something about you that Mi5 members do not yet know? I don’t cook much (no surprise to anyone) but I make really good homemade spaghetti sauce – thanks to my Italian grandparents. What advice would you give to someone just getting started at Mi5?
