RIP Cross-Fit

I did it! I made it through a whole month of torture. WOW.

To be completely honest I never made a Saturday...but who really works out on Saturday...ok usually I do, but I got busy....everyone gets busy!

And to be COMPLETELY honest... I am totally going to miss Cross-Fit. I know I NEVER thought I would say that...but it is VERY true.

I am going to miss going to bed SCARED because I do not know the work out for the next day. I am going to miss waking up at 6:10 exactly so I can be ready to catch a ride with my dad. And thinking how am I ever going to do this work out. I am going to miss all the names of the works outs...the guy who invented it named them after all his ex-girlfriends because well you know they are all a pain in the bum. I am also going to miss telling Mere what my Cross-Fit work out was every day...it's always the best thing I can bring to the conversation.

Most of all I am going to miss the PEOPLE:

Mike: The instructor who is way too nice to be a instructor...so encouraging and understanding.
Mindy: The other instructor who I inspire to be...she can do like a thousand pull-ups.
The Guy Who Is Always Done First: When he gets through it I know it CAN be done.
The Girl Who Is Always Done First: She is a beast...in the best possible way and gives me hope.
Bernie: The woman who is much older than me, but gets done either before me or at the same time as me. She is the one that lets me know I CAN do the work out.
The Lady Who Is Always Joking: She makes the whole thing bearable and funny.
The Lady Who Is Always Joking's Husband: He is just REALLY nice and is funny too.
The Couple That Started At The Same Time As Us: We started together and finish together and still think we all are crazy for doing this.
The Oldest Lady: If she can do it so can I!
The Guy Who Always Gives Me A High-Five When I Finish: I always looked forward to this...it was really encouraging.
The New Lady: She is in crazy good shape and like 30 years older than me. She is definitely fun to work out with and challenges me.
My Dad: The man who made me do it in the first place, but always comes with me. I am going to miss talking about how hard the work out was with him.

More than anything I am going to miss that feeling when I have just accomplished a work out that I know I would have never done nor could have ever done on my own...SHEER BLISS. When you do something that seems impossible there is nothing like that. You want to shout I did it...I finished...I pushed...I CONQUERED!

Man that was a great class...I totally am going to miss it SO much. I am so happy that my dad convinced me. Although exhausted I know my body thanked me after every work out. I am stronger. I am happier and I am going to miss you Cross-Fit!

So moral of the story...do hard things...they are rewarding. Go ahead try something hard...if you think you can't think of me doing a Cross-Fit work out every morning for a month...I never thought I would survive...but I did. And I didn't ONLY survive...I conquered and loved it!

much love,
