It is no secret to those who know me that I am a CrossFit junkie. I first appeared at CrossFit Interbay in February 2012, staying for two weeks, before returning in September of the same year.
Through some amazing and not-so-amazing personal and professional moments, I also had amazing and humbling workouts. But regardless of what was on the white board, the people at Interbay became a family. For more than a year, that little box was my third place.
And, as I find myself with nervous, excited energy and a cautionary clearance from my doctor -- low-impact, straight-line movement for me! -- I feel pangs of guilt. I didn't give CFIB a chance to fight for itself. But there's a well-known quote that keeps replaying in my head: "Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you or makes you happy."
