When Leah Met Leah

Tweet

It's an interesting and unconventional relationship that Leah Renae and I have. We started this project without knowing very much about each other. And now that we've put our names out into the world, we are connected. We have each had to trust that The Other Leah would handle our unique situation with care. 

And while it was never something that we were actively trying to arrange (in fact, it was part of our schtick that we'd never met), we found ourselves with an opportunity to connect face to face. 
So as a part of my (half)cross-country trip, I scheduled a stop in Akron.  Leah Renae and CrossFit Legacy were kind enough to have me. And James Schooling from Ultra Mega Photography was kind enough to capture the occasion for us.  

 Check out some of the photos from out workout.

Adding up reps.  CrossFit math is tricky.

I am so glad that we got the chance to meet and learn a bit more about each other.  Beyond some of our shared interests, Leah Renae and I are similar in a lot of ways, despite our very different backgrounds.  The most apparent, to me anyway, is that we are both independent spirits who value the things we are able to accomplish on our own.

If there is one way in which we can set an example for other women, I hope it is in this way.
