A shout Out to My Crossfit Chicks!

From my previous blogs you can probably tell that I love Crossfit. It's good for my body, it's good for my soul, and it's good for my social life!
There are many reasons that I love it, but one of the big reasons is that the women there are so freaking awesome! We have so many strong, amazing ladies in our gym.
I have never met a group of more supportive, encouraging, inspiring (and giggly, and dance-y, and get-down-to-the-nitty-gritty) ladies... and they all kick my butt during the WODs.
Here's a great example of why CF women are the complete package: I went to the 6:15 class this morning, and during a warm-up run Barb, Mindy and I were talking about Warrior Dash, biking and where to find the cutest knee-high socks for working out (it's Dick's Sporting goods, in case you're wondering. They sell them in a 3 pack and they come in funky colors!!)
Then we got back inside and Barb got all serious with me and she said, "Marie and I have plans for you. We are going to get you to work on your pull ups." (word on the street is that I've been slacking on those lately!)
Then the topic turned to nutrition and I got some nutrition advice from Mindy for trying to fuel my body in the mornings. (my tummy doesn't like food quite so early... ) All these different topics in the course of about 10 minutes!
In addition to holding me accountable and making sure I am working my hardest, they are always so damn encouraging! I can't tell you how helpful it is to be in the middle of a WOD, huffing and puffing, and all of a sudden hear "great job Misty" from out of the blue. But that's what all these gals do. They are working just as hard as me and everyone else, but they still take the time to lift people up and give them a shout-out. I think that is girl power at its finest!
These girls (and all the other awesome chicks at our gym) kick butt and hold me accountable to be my best. Thanks for that, Ladies! This blog's for you! :)
