Ronda-
We are so proud of you. Noone works harder on their weaknesses than you do, and it shows! I remember the morning about a year ago whe you got your FIRST pullup. Then you did THIRTY last week?!?! Are you kidding me?
We are proud of you as an athlete, and even prouder to have you as a friend.
Good Luck!

Ronda-- A year ago you made it your mission to get serious and to get to the games in 2010. You went paleo all the way- you are leaner and stronger than ever before-- and you bring a determination and grit everyday to each and every workout like no one else. Thank you for inspiring all of us at CFNE - and for cheering for us all the way as you go. Best of luck this weekend!!! m
