My Gym...

I love my gym.  I love going, I love leaving, I love being there.

This weekend we went to a football game watching party at a friend of mine's house.  She is the one that first told me of crossfit, but didn't want to go to my gym because of the location and hours.  She found a crossfit gym in town that she loves - so that is great! Some of her workout people were at her party - and 2 of her coaches.

1) I do NOT want to socialize with my coaches.. I need that very strict, very professional relationship
2) I LOVE how my place makes us report our food and the plan that they know will help us reach our goals.
3) I LOVE that I have my crossfit friends separate from my real friends.  It is a place that I can go to be me. Just me.  Its a place where people don't know anything about me other than how hard I work there.
4) Their gym sounds so very different than my gym.  They have machines, and run 800m daily, classes run by one instructor at a time with no differentiation...
5) I LOVE that there are many days in which I am the only person 3 coaches are worried about.  There is NOT ever a day in which I can remember only have 1 coach push me.

Today we maxed on push press I think.  I ALMOST got up 115, but 105 was my final max.  That was after bur-pees, pull-ups, push-ups... so I'll take it.

My wrist is hurting very badly.  Its mainly because they are weak - and that's new for me.  With softball, my wrists were always strong - as was my back/core.  And now its not.  Thats hard for me to understand and accept.  But i'm getting stronger every day.

I emailed Lindsay Matthews, BirthFIT creator.  A friend of mine from high schools whose blog is motivating me beyond belief.  She is so fantastic.  www.birthfit.com - read it.
