Fresh off her roids (for her asthma) Jill wrote me this email to share with everyone out there:

Jill is one of the biggest cheerleaders here and we are excited to get her back. She is keeping a detailed journal of her progress for anyone to look at and she is a great example of what consistency and dedication can accomplish.

Aloha Bryant-

Anyone considering CF that looks at our website sees seals and the other elite athletes that do CF, crazy people beating the RX, competing with each other, body weight squats, pull ups, jumping boxes (my favorite), double unders (HUH?) climbing ropes with no feet.  And BURPEES??. Yes there are elite CF folks but there are also people like me.

I am almost 50, not a runner, not a gymnast, not a MMA person, just a regular person trying to be in shape. I get dizzy doing somersaults, cannot do a split and probably will never climb a rope. I can now jump rope 10 times without tripping over my feet, and  box jumping? Well when I fall, I get back up.

CF for me is a place I belong, a community I belong to. I fit in here at CF.  No one judges me here at CF, my only competition is with myself.  I started CF not being able to do a push up from my knees, I can now do 30 military style push ups.  I started CF trying to jump from a high  box (>36 inches)  to get my chin over the bar. Well, now I use a lower box for my jumping pull ups (12inches).

Jill would like to write a weekly letter about her experiences at CFO. If her point of view interests you, post your support in the comments. I just hope she won’t bring any roid rage into CFO now that she is back!!!!
