I just gotta say, I’m proud to know these guys and glad to have them as a part of the community. For those that don’t know, Sherown suffered a neck injury in January that left him with limited movement from the neck down. He had only been CrossFitting a short time before his injury, but his hard work ethic and athletic talent shined in the WODs.

Since January, Sherown has battled for regaining his movement and has been showing amazing progress. I just saw this posted on the Team Sherown Get Well Drive, where he and his wife have been keeping us updated on their progress:

While it sounded like a good idea at the time, attempting to do a 5K post injury and still fighting to learn how to walk again, proved to be one of the hardest things I have ever done. We detoured a little off the course and probably went over the 3.2 miles, but I was able to finish in a little over 3 hours. I felt great and was making good time when we started but the last mile wasn’t even comparable to the fatigue and struggle of hiking over 14,000 feet. Every step was a challenge, ankles and knees were sore and tight, and shoulders were pretty beat up from relying on the walker more. Luckily my OT in PT therapists were able to join and help me stretch out on the route and I was pushed by family, friends, and peak center trainers to the finish. To finish off the day, I had the chance to meet up with some old track friends from UNC. All in all, it was a pretty big day.

Congrats Sherown and family and can’t wait to see you back in the gym!
