Dedication (per wikipedia) is to immerse oneself with sincerity into a certain subject or properly the setting apart of anything by solemn proclamation. Synonymous with words such as committment, loyalty, perserverance, devotion, allegiance, adherence, faithfulness, wholeheartedness, and enthusiasm.

Katie, a new Crossfitter at CFO, always gives 150% and amazes me and herself with her mental and physical strength every single workout. We are lucky that she is part of our ohana!
We have a great quote on our white board, “If it’s too easy, go faster!”
We talk about what it means to be a ‘firebreather’, that Crossfit is ‘hardcore’ and ‘intensity is relative’ but here is a great article from Again Faster that really puts the white board quote into perspective. How has your outlook on ‘intensity’ and/or dedication changed since you have found Crossfit? Post your comments here.

Katie,
I’ve quietly watched your progress on those early morning workouts and even asked Court — “who’s that girl you are training — what’s her story”. You’re enthusiasm and energy is amazing. You inspire us all to get more! Keep up the incredible work and I look forward to seeing you in a morning class VERY soon.
P.S. Love the Madonna!
