Drinking the Kool-aid

Greetings all. I made a huge decision and joined my local crossfit. I've had my first two fundamental lessons, and already I can't wait to go back. Today's lesson was upper body. At first I was really intimidated by the push jerk and the split jerk but after I proved to myself that I can do them (only at 25lbs right now), I was totally hooked.

I think I left with a cheesy grin on my face :laugh:

My next lesson is Monday, waiting so long because my first 5k is this Saturday.

So, I've started drinking the crossfit kool-aid. I'm a total newbie but I love how I feel when I go and I love how I feel when I leave.

I'm just looking for friends who are also crossfit members so I can share this experience and continue to feel great about the process.

Thanks.
Jenn

    I find it a nice change up from my usual swim/bike/run workouts... Although at some point I will have to drop it to focus on just my races.

    I'm intrigued yet afraid of tasting the Cross-fit KoolAid! I just know I would be like you, loving the discovery of what your body can do. Enjoy yourself!

    These first few days have left me feeling better than running has so far. I'm hoping the feeling doesn't fade because I rode the high from my first lesson for 2 days. Hope this one is the same.

    I was afraid too but the people at the box I go to are wonderful! I emailed the two in town to see what they would say and I could tell from the email that they would be great to work with. Maybe try out the free Saturday session. A lot of crossfits offer it.
