Tilting at Windmills

Posted by Becca Borawski : Tuesday, Oct 27, 2009

Sometimes I imagine, that to our friends, CrossFit must appear to be a Quixotic adventure. They don't see the "giants" we see. Why must we do hundreds of things? Why must we lift so much, so fast, so often? To that I say, because I can, because I want to, because it is there. And maybe, because as a kid I imagined myself a superhero, and now for an hour a day, I get to be one. I get to lift heavy things, leap on boxes, and do things that to my friends seem inhuman. If I picture my cape flying behind me, maybe I can even run faster.

So, let us be a legion of Don Quixotes, tilting at windmills and being superheroes. Let us go out into the world inspired and big. Let reason and logic remain for the small.

In Their Own Words...
My kids attend classes and love every minute. It is all play to them and at the same time they are getting healthy exercise and absorbing life skills and values like teamwork, etc. - Alex B.
