Liz grew up in an incredibly small town in New York called Summit where literally everyone knew everyone. The town is made up of just over 1,000 people! You'd never expect her rural beginnings based off of where she is now. Although she currently lives in Framingham, she does say that one day her and her husband hope to move back to a rural area.Liz grew up thinking she wanted to go into medicine. She even contemplated going to veterinary school! When she finished up junior college and transferred to Duquesne, she left feeling a void from sports which led her to go down the path of sports medicine.Once she continued her schooling at University of Pittsburgh, she had her whole life plan in place until she stumbled into a man named Dave who she ultimately ended up marrying. After graduating college, the country was in the peak of the 2008 recession. Her and Dave found themselves moving towards the Boston area in search of jobs.Liz had an incredibly early exposure to CrossFit through her Master's program in 2008. That was the first time she heard about it. She then began CrossFit in 2011, four years later, at CrossFit Synergistics in Ashland. We spend a lot of time talking about CrossFit's stigma then and now as well as her experience with CrossFit over the years.Thank you so much for coming on the show, Liz! You were such a pleasure to talk with. I was thrilled to learn so much about your life as I'm sure many of our listeners did as well.P.S. Here's a quick little shout out for Liz's youngest sister, Shanky, out in Charlottesville, North Carolina. I know this'll be the first place I visit if I am ever down that way! http://www.bbqminthill.com/
