I'm in Love

At first I thought it was obsession, then infatuation and now I realize, of course, it's love! What other than love would have me getting out of bed, shoving my contacts into my eyes, downing a cup of coffee and making a 20 minute drive all before the sun has shown up for the day? It's a love for a group of people, a love for a common goal, a love for pain and even some love for myself. The past six months at Crossfit Old Town have launched me into a wonderful, sweaty world of self-exploration.

I came to CFOT, not broken but a little askew. I needed something that I could be good at, something that would remind me that I like who I am and something that would make me feel like I belong. I want to reinforce that I wasn't unhappy, but I was in need of a change. The supportive atmosphere at Crossfit allowed me to get back in control of my life. Lifting absurd amounts of weight over my head reminded me that I can do the seemingly impossible, and persisting through extending periods of exertion showed me that I had incredible stamina. In short.. it gave me those warm butterfly feelings in my stomach.. (not to mention an achy feeling all over).

I am hoping that 2008 continues to bring love to my life.

Happy New Year!

LOVE,
Adrienne
