HANNAH'S JOURNEY
Happy Birthday Hannah!Enthusiasm, dedication, support, progress and commitment are just a few of the words that come to my mind when I think about Hannah. She was at my first CrossFit Class and has stuck by my side ever since that day. Without Hannah's support CrossFit KoP wouldn't be what it is today. She has been an integral part of our family and continues to pass her enthusiasm and candor on to new members as they walk through the door. Her dedication and commitment to CrossFit WODs are evident in her progress, performance and PR's-from Black Band to kipping pullup, from 95lb Deadlift to 265lb Deadlift, from single unders to some rocking DU's...pushups with knees to NO knees; not to mention some of her most recent lifts/WODs...a 115 Shoulder Press, 125 Clean and Jerk, 3:31 Grace, 5:20 Karen and on and on...But one of the most amazing things ((I might get mushy here (Doug,-get the tissues, Jeff-start the Kumbaya music)) was watching Han fight through "Angie" 100 Pullups, 100 Pushups, 100 Situps and 100 Squats as Rxd, whoever was in class that day to witness it couldn't help but be motivated. Hannah, you are an inspiration to all of us--Happy Birthday and Congratulations on an AMAZING year!!

Click here for a great 8 min video of Dr. Mike and Mary Dan Eades explaining how the body stores fat with a high carb low fat diet. This is a great clip to share with friends and family who are still under the impression that a high carb/low fat diet is the way.

ReplyDeleteThe reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them. ~Denis Watley
(I am sharing my adventure with all of you!!! thank you!!)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANNAH!
ReplyDeleteI remember one of the first days I was ever at KoP, you were doing double unders and I was in awe that you were so graceful doing them. And then working on that team wod a few weeks ago was just awesome. A well deserved tribute!
Happy Birthday Hannah! I hope you have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteHan - Happy Birthday from me and Tim, sorry we didn't get online yesterday! Its been great working out with you over the past year, your intesity is contagious and your determination is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat was a well deserved tribute to you Hannah! I already wished you a happy b-day on fb. I just wanted to say a little something. You are one heck of a strong woman both mentally and physically. There are some wods that I can never imagine doing and you take it by the balls and get it done every single time! You always give 100%. I wish I could be more like that. You push me and every single person in there. I really hope you had a great weekend! I love ya!!! :)
