After seeing our first couples post, Justin and Kara couldn’t pass it up. Founding Fathers and Old Cityzens alike, I present to you Justin and Kara!
Seen above on the Great Wall of China Justin and Kara are the couple your wife looks at then turns to you and says: “why can’t we be more like them.” They go on adventurous travel together, they run tough mudders together, and now they’ll be doing CrossFit together. But this couple isn’t all cup with no water. Far from it! Justin works for the Department of Health as a quality assessment specialist. He grew up playing ice hockey which developed into a passion for fitness. Justin has tried powerlifting, strongman, road races, trail races and basically any other challenge he could find.
When he’s not doing awesomely active stuff, Justin loves to travel and trying out the local cuisines. He also wants to make it to all seven continents in his lifetime. He has South America and the hard one hardly anyone gets a chance to go to left.
Kara is equally adventurous. Having done triathlons and tough mudders, Kara loves getting out and trying new things. She’s visited Vietnam, Cambodia, and hiked Mt. Kenya. If you didn’t click that link, go back and click it. You may now proceed with respect.
Kara went to school at Wake Forest University and studied Health & Exercise Science. While there, Kara walked on to the women’s basketball team and had a perfect free throw percentage (4 for 4). If you want to see this free throw all-star you can catch her playing in a weekly co-ed league over in Dupont (just don’t foul her).
Professionally, Kara works at a corporate wellness company, coordinating biometric health screenings for organizations across the country. Image that, she works for a wellness company and he works for the Department of Health.
When they’re not busy being perfect for each other, Justin and Kara love to cook and chronicle their cooking adventures and restaurants reviews on their blog. Justin case you Kara to read it, you can do so here: 2 Hungry Hearts.
Welcome to Old City, Justin and Kara. We hope that Old City CrossFit is the perfect fuel to fill those 2 Hungry Hearts of yours!
