I’m Lauren Mulkey and I am 28 years old. I was born in Fort Collins, CO but my family moved to Folsom when I was in third grade. I played basketball until my genetics got the best of me (I was a short stick figure). When I was in 8th grade I started running track because my twin sister was dominating the middle school track scene and I thought I could give her a run for her money. I ran throughout high school and went on to run cross country and track at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I specialized in the 1500/mile but I competed in anything from the 400m- 5k.
After graduation I started working for Southern Wine and Spirits as a sales rep in San Jose. I was fortunate to get a job that requires self motivation allows me to see the fruits of my labor. My company transferred me to Sacramento 4 years ago which has allowed me to live close to my family. I have also always wanted to live in the Midtown/East Sac area.
Before starting CrossFit I worked out at Ultimate Fitness. I was in shape but I was unable to track any of my progress without having benchmark workouts. Last year my brother encouraged me to join Crossfit Determination in Roseville and I soon realized competitive exercising was for me! I then convinced my boyfriend, Nic Williams, to join CFES. Because Nic loves it so much here and we live down the street in East Sac, I decided to make the switch. All of the coaches and athletes I’ve met have been so welcoming that I know I made the right decision!
My hobbies include running, interior design, refinishing furniture, and weekend trips with our great group of friends. I also enjoy just hanging out in East Sac.
As far as fitness goals I would like to get a muscle-up and improve on anything having to do with the barbell. My long term goal is to continually motivate the people around me to be active.
