Introduction

I was first introduced to CrossFit by my good friend and co-worker Sherri.  She told me about this great workout program she had just started and how much she really liked it and she thought that I would also really like it.  Sherri introduced me to Jens Lovell who is also a co-worker of ours and a certified CrossFit trainer and owner of CrossFit St. George.  They both encouraged me to go that day and workout with them.  That was February 7, 2009 and I have not looked back since.  After getting my butt kicked that day on a workout called "The Baseline" I knew I was hooked.  CrossFit workouts are challenging, difficult, and sometimes vomit inducing but above all that they are fun and each time they leave you with a huge sense of accomplishment.  I know now that CrossFit is not just a workout, its a way of life and now its my way of life.  So follow along with me as I change my life for the better, as I become a stronger, healthier me.  I will blog about the workouts that I do each day and also my successes and failures.  

My CrossFit Goals

1. Lose 60 pounds, and or get down to 20-22% body fat.
2. Compete in the 2010 CrossFit games.
3. Become a certified CrossFit trainer.
4. Introduce my family and friends to the CrossFit lifestyle.
    (Just to name a few...)

W.O.D. 3/28/09

Run 1 mile for time-

10:59

This is the first time that I have run a mile for time since high school. I am actually really surprised at the time I got, I was hoping just to finish in 15 minutes. Whenever I've run on the treadmill my mile time is usually between 15 and 17 minutes and that is because I could never run for very long. This time I made it around the track twice before I had to walk. I am not a good runner but this workout made me realize that I can be and that I some day I can run a 6 minute mile. After I finished I thought that I could have pushed myself a little more to keep running and not walk as much. Jens was not there with us and it made me realize how much he motivates me to push to my limits. It also made me think that I need to be able to push myself, that I need to be my own motivation because Jens is not always going to be there. But once again this is the first time that I have done this workout and so now I have a time to beat.
