My son-in-law, John (crossfitcraic.com), pushed me ever so gently into CrossFit back in May, 2010. (I know, I let a son-in-law push me around?) Knowing I was working out to videos, jogging on the treadmill and playing lots of tennis, he was correct in suspecting I would take to CrossFit.
Not one to focus on my age, as we sat at the kitchen table talking about CrossFit (shocker), John looked at me and said, “No offense, mama, but I wonder if I’ll still be CrossFitting in thirty years.” To which I replied, “I wonder if I’ll be CrossFitting in thirty years!”
By my age, I have had multiple experiences in my life where I set out to do something for a long time only to decide shortly after starting that it wasn’t for me. In reality, that usually meant it was too much work to continue. Funny how a woman who is not afraid of hard work stopped short of full participation many times because of the lack of desire to commit to the work.

Do I still plan on CrossFitting in thirty years? I don’t need to ‘think’ I will be, I just ‘know’ I will be. I do wonder, however, if I will still be letting John push me around in thirty years!
