Where were you 10 years ago today? Personally, I was 16 years old and a Junior in high school. Physically, I was playing basketball for my high school team at 5'7, 110 lbs, and the epitome of what is known as skinny-fat. But something happend 10 years ago, that I didn't know about at the time, that would change my life forever.
Ten years ago today the first CrossFit WOD was posted. Although, I only found CrossFit 10 months it has changed my life. Up until that point my fitness level since high school would probably be considered fairly inactive. I would go to my globogym 3-4 times a week, undermotivated, and not pushing myself. I wasn't getting results and my frustration level was at an all time high. Then I found CrossFit.
CrossFit has given me my health and well-being. A healthier husband and family. A great support system. And through CrossFit I have met some of the most inspiring people. These people push me and make me better. So where were you 10 years ago today?
The point is that one small action can change the lives of countless people. Ten years ago today Glassman didn't have to post that workout. He didn't have to share CrossFit with the world but he chose too. That small action has changed my life forever and I thank him for it everyday. And while CrossFit is celebrating its 10th birthday today, I'm celebrating a successful workout of doing more of what I hate (wall balls and double unders). Thanks for that CrossFit Lisbeth your post inspired me.
