Congratulations to Trevor S. and his wife Kate on the birth of their beautiful baby girl Emmaline! Emmaline is 7 lbs. 4 ozs and everyone is doing well. She was really excited to get here! So excited in fact that Trevor had to help Kate deliver her at home while the fire engine and ambulance were still on the way. What a story! Welcome to the Evolve family Emmaline!
We love it when you guys do great things! It makes us proud when you do your first WOD as prescribed, run your first running race, sign up for the Open even though you're scared sh*tless, signing up for the softball team even though you've never played softball. And of course we are proud of these things, we coach you to improve your fitness and well-being, and all the things that come along with that: courage, self-esteem, strong mind, stronger spirit, the list goes on and on.
But we're also proud of your accomplishments outside of the box. Getting that new job or promotion, studying hard and working your way through school, smoking the CPAT (the physical agility test to become a firefighter), having beautiful kids, etc. We try to celebrate these accomplishments every time we hear about them, whether in the box or on the website. These stories are not in short supply at Evolve, which is a testament to the type of people you guys are!
Recently one of our athletes did something great - Kendra started her own blog! This can be a daunting task, we know! It can be tough to come up with content and it's a huge time investment. But it's also very rewarding when you can share something you're passionate about with others. Kendra's blog is called I Mean Business!The subtitle is "My Venture into Parenthood, Pre-Teens, Paleo, and the Pursuit of Elite Fitness." Awesome! If you're looking for some great real-food recipes with a healthy dose of humor, this is it! Anyone who knows Kendra knows this won't be your standard recipe website so put it in your bookmarks, email it to friends and family, and visit it often. Way to go K!
