Rob E. shares his JOURNEY…

"Four months in and I’m almost 20 lbs lighter, and stronger than I’ve been in a long while – and I feel like this is just the beginning for me. Did the baseline on my own time recently and finished just over 4 mins at what felt like 90% effort (did a run and some lifting beforehand!). I eat better now, I hold myself more accountable, and I have come to enjoy doing things I am terrible at (even if I bitch and moan about in class, it’s all in jest). How could one not enjoy this stuff? At LF we are constantly surrounded by inspiring peeps – the great coaches, the beginners who hit PRs and walk out the door smiling, and the veteran racehorses who smoke us in the WODs and push us to be better than we were yesterday. The coolest thing for me about the first few months of doing CrossFit at LF was the fact that just about everything we did was either A) something I’d never done before; or B) something I really sucked at. Often times it was both. As of today I’ve done enough of the movements so that A is getting close to being a thing of the past, and I’m working on shortening the list of things that qualify as B (hello pull ups, handstands, overhead squats, and double-unders – I’ll get you, bitches). -Rob E.
