So I was reluctant to try this crossfit class at Wholesale Fit but it was FREE (every single class is free! The "catch" is, I have to drive to Rivergate) but Jennifer was pretty persistent. Oh. My. Word!!! I kinda get all the hype. 10 minutes in I said to her "I really thought we were friends. I had no idea you hated me!!" I thought I was going to die. Almost for real. I have also never been as sore as I was the next day & day after that. My first class was triceps on Monday. On Tuesday after I ran, I was certain I was going to have to leave my sweaty running tank on until Kevin could take it off me because I couldn't lift my arms up AND try to pull the shirt over my head. It was crazy! I kept going with her though, 3 more times that week. I haven't been able to go this week but I've been doing the workouts at home. Real honest to God workouts! I'm using weights, resistance band, & my stability ball for no less than 45 minutes. I have been sore after too so I know I'm pushing myself. I am really hoping that this will help my Warrior Dash training :) This is our first real week of summer... Temps in the mid-90s with the humidity to match so I'm keeping my workouts indoors. When it cools off, I'll run the hills of the historic distric & try out the monkey bars at Garner St. Park for my course practice.
I simply have to have faith & remember that being healthy is my ultimate goal... Not a number. I'm making healthier choices daily, I'm pushing my body harder than before & getting stronger with every workout. I also have to remember I'm doing all of this for the kids of St. Jude, who are also pushing their bodies to the max & getting stronger every day but in a COMPLETELY different way. That's what truly matters. I'm sure the number will reflect that at some point!
