My CF Anniversary

Happy Friday! Yes, this pictures below are after a WOD in the bathroom....I couldnt help it, my new Lulu purchases had to be showcased. Happy belated Valentine's to everyone. Hope you told the people you love that you love them and they did the same for you.
 
Back to the point. This week was my 1 year anniversary crossfitting/at Crossfit Westchester and it was also the first week in a year that I woke up for 6am class (3 days in a row mind you!) I am sore as hell, but I feel great. I couldnt remember until this week how grounded crossfit keeps me. Humbles me, excites me and teaches me mental and physical strength.
Top 3 Crossfit Moments of my first year:
 
1. honestly, my #125 squat clean. I spend months stuck at #105. The moment I stood up with that bar on my shoulders, I knew I beat that voice in my head.
2. Watching my best friend, Kate, compete at Beast of the East and CFNE Competitor's Competition. She hates her compliments, but she is my inspiration. The dedication and determination she has is incredible. AND I gained a best friend out of it.
3. Failing. Dropping #115 from overhead, #205 falling off my back in a squat, feeling defeated after one too many 500m rows. but you know what that failing taught me? ...I will always get back up and keep trying. Translate that to life and you are golden.
 
Before I start crying...I'm done.
