Another SUCCESS story from one of our Balad Crossfit Faithful - thanks for sharing Red!
James, I wanted to write a formal little card thanking you for all of your help and inspiration while deployed. One of the things that I did learn in the sand was myself. I understand my strengths and weaknesses and know that an email will happen NOW, where a card will happen...maybe this week, or next, or never. It was a pleasure to learn from you, learn about myself, and about the philosophy of CrossFit and Yoga. The time spent with you truly changed my life. I am now excited to say that in my thirties I get to treat myself to me.
I wanted to share a bit with you.
Day 1 on R&R - I was able to cuddle up near a fireplace in the mountains in Bailey with my marine. Quite lovely. Of course, had to do 5 rounds of 400m run, 50 squats, 25 burpees.
Day 2 on R&R - Climbed Mt. Bierstat, Elevation: 14060 ft. One of the easier 14ers in Colorado, made slightly more challenging coming from 164 feet above sea level.
Day 3&4 I allowed myself to rest, enjoying Steamboat Springs and the company of a Vietnam Veteran. Heard amazing stories in an incredible hammok.
Day 5 - back to Crossfit...
This is why I love my crossfit gym here in Colorado. Robyn, my trainer, is one of the most incredible, motivational, and positive women I have ever met. As for energetic...the Energizer bunny has nothing on this woman, she runs circles around anyone, any age!
I was concerned that the hours that they had wouldn't work with my schedule, get this...she said to let her know when I wanted to workout and she would be there. Love her, love her, loooooooove her!!!
She posted this on her site http://www.foothillscrossfit.com/AND gave me a complimentary month (in addition to having a military discount)
Red is back from Iraq! So happy to have you back Red! She did the Basics Class and then shipped off soon afterward. She did CrossFit religiously over there, came back and we hardly recognized her. She has lost 3 lbs, 4% bodyfat, lost 2" around her hips and gained 5 lbs of muscle in 3 mos. Her metabolic age has gone from 40 to 30. Geez
