Redefining My Fitness
At the beginning of summer (Monday following my Dam to Dam
run), I started my journey with Crossfit. Like many unaware people out there who
haven’t stepped foot in an actual BOX , I was a complete skeptic. All I could
think was this is just the next expensive, workout fad…..But, since my husband wouldn’t
stop asking me to go, I figured I would at least try out the free first week.
Needing a break from running and always up for trying something new, I thought,
what could 1 week hurt….Well, actually, it could hurt a lot! I remember the soreness from that first week….and hurting more than I have ever hurt from a workout. Was I really this out of shape? My motivation for each demanding workout came from knowing it would be done soon. If I could run for more than 2 hours, than could do the daily workout….right?
Well, it’s been more than 3 months and I am hooked. Even though some may call it obsessed, I know the change Crossfit has made in my life — and it’s hard to not be excited. I have noticed a positive difference in numerous areas — from my health, to my confidence, to my fitness level as a whole. And now that I am back into half-marathon training, I have really noticed how Crossfit complements my running performance.
More importantly, Crossfit is pushing me and motivating me
to try harder and undefine limits I previously set. The possibilities are endless…..
As we celebrated JD’s
30th birthday this past weekend, I couldn’t help think about turning
30 in May. And while I have had this “perception” stuck in my head, it’s good
to know at almost 30, I can say I am in the best shape of my live and it is
only getting better.
