Hate to tell you, but your shit isn't working either.

Hey Allbody, today is my CrossFit Birthday! My name is Aileen, a 38 yr old mother of a teenage girl.

I am a CrossFit athlete with humble beginnings. I never played a sport in high school, was always picked last for any team, was convinced I was not good at anything athletic. I had never squatted, deadlifted, cleaned. Never did pull ups, dips. Never rowed. I did run quite a bit, to mask an eating disorder, and to spend time bonding with my dad and sister, but I never aspired to more than just finishing.

My first workout was Michael in late September 2008, with just a few more sprinkled in over the next few months, due to intimidation from the WODs and a controlling abusive boyfriend who literally told me, “I don’t want you doing that CrossFit” When I found myself lying to go to the Guerrilla Fitness for Foundations, and saying that I was going to run on the treadmill but really was doing Griff at the track, I knew it was all wrong. He got the boot in December.

I was already reading the main site comments everyday, bought a pretty sparkly notebook to record my workouts, and resolved for the New Year of 2009 just 2 simple things:
1. Follow the main site, 3 on 1 off, no matter what the WOD, no cherry picking.
2. Make new friends.

I did well.

3 weeks into January, I decided to start posting and chose Strong Lil Pony for my nickname. As a girl I loved the Little House on the Prairie books and read them all several times. Laura, very young and small for her age, recalled leaping over a huge barrel and astounding her pa. "There was only Pa standing there with his blue eyes shining, looking at Laura. "Well!" he said to her. "You're only a little half-pint of cider half drunk up, but by Jinks! You’re as strong as a little French horse!" For some reason that resonated with me and I just always remembered it.

S’more and Playoff Beard were the first to welcome me. Many more friends followed, and so did my confidence and physical skills. I started to attend certs: Level 1, Barbell (at the cert with Rip, he squeezed my arm and said “where’d you get those 13” biceps without lifting, woman?” It was the first time I ever benched, and I did 115) Gymnastics, Kettlebell, Nutrition. From 0 to 60…
DL 1RM: 255
BS 3RM 160
P 1RM 95
FS 3RM 120
PC 3RM 115
BP 1RM 125 (last week!)
I grew strong. I learned.

The biggest, hardest lessons: Acceptance. Surrender.

Accept my body’s need for rest. Accept the fact that I have certain physical limitations that I must train around, not simply ignore. Accept imperfection – not every workout *must* be a PR, or done as RXed.

Surrender to Love. Like many, I was afraid of failure. I had a child to protect, I vowed I would NOT bring her pain again by yet ANOTHER failed relationship. Keep a man at arm’s length, if not more.

Then I met Goat. And though I fought it, kicking and screaming, I fell in love. I did not want a boyfriend. I was not ready to be loved for exactly who I am, to be cherished and adored. I could not fathom that someone would drop everything… for me. With all my frailties and imperfections, I felt undeserving of such warmth and care. I was strong on the outside, weak within. It took many months to believe that he would not hurt me. I grew strong. I learned.

Today, Goat lives with my daughter and me. We run CrossFit Rising out of my one car garage, 210 sq feet of compressed bad-a**ery. Marriage and a family is in our future.

To have found my inner athlete, to realize that not only am I very strong – I have more potential to be realized, to have made good friends, and best friends, and found a sincere love, a soulmate, who shares my passion for CrossFit and the community here… And all of this in one short year…is amazing.

Thank you Coach & Lauren for your gift. s’more, Playoff Beard, Herm, Eric, jakers, Stephen, Franiel, Benny1, pokey, Paul, Gene, Corey Bibolet, bingo- you are all my brothers. Thanks for looking out for me. J9, Xtina, in8girl, FitMom, Laura DeMarco, Kelly Moore- you inspire me to be strong, be tough, and gut it out. CynthiaJ, Rebe- my PaleoChix, business partners and kindred spirits.

Lastly…Cookie, a soul sister indeed. I love you so much, you are always on my mind, in my thoughts and prayers. I am so happy for you and the journey that we share. Being a single mom was hard enough for me with 1 child. You did it with 3. I am blessed with your friendship.

I have lofty goals for 2010. I know that I will DO WORK (BlackCatXFit) and get 'er done- with the help of this family I have found here.

GIDDY-UP!
