Congratulations, Aimee (and happy birthday to your mom)! By the way, I had no idea I created the special burpee.... I hope the WOD goes well for everybody tomorrow!

Kristen S. said...

Happy bithday Eileen! Mel said it best...it is "always a pleasure to see your smiling face at the box. You make it feel more like a second home!" Those words cannot be more true. Aimee takes after you in that her smile welcomes everyone into the Crossfit KOP family.

Congratulations Aimee and Jason and happy birthday to Crossfit KOP Affiliate. Yay!!!

Cindy Handler said...

Happy Birthday Eileen and congratulations to Aimee and Jason on two years as an affiliate. It's hard for me to think about a time before CrossFit and also hard to believe it's only been two years since we've known you both. I am so very proud of you!!!!

Eileen you inspire me with your generosity of spirit and the openness in which you encounter life. I hope you have a wonderful day filled with joy, laughter and love!

Nikki said...

Happy birthday Eileen and congrats Aimee on 2 years! I'm so lucky to be part of such a great CrossFit affiliate!

Jason Lyons said...

happy birthday mil. most people would dread having their mother in law around so much but you add to our lives in a very special way. thank you for all that you do. today, aimee and i will attempt to say thank you.

and happy birthday to cf kop. i have become a major part of all of this but the gym is aimee's true brain child and idea. without her, i would still be sitting in my favorite blue chair watching harold and kumar for the 200th time. i love you baby, thank you for changing my life.

Jen S. said...

Love Ya Momma B! Happy Bday!! :)

And congrats Aim - so proud of your accomplishments! From the words of Barat - "Great Success!"

JZuck said...

Happy Birthday Eileen! It is always great seeing you at the box! I hope you have a great day!

And congrats on 2 years as an affiliate! I have been at KOP since the beginning and still see Aimee and Jason working as hard as ever to make it the best affiliate possible for all of the members. Thanks for a great 2 years, I look forward to many more!

Melanie said...

Is the twofer burpee essentially a burpee with an extra push up?

karen largent said...

i've not been a part of crossfit long, but joining has been the single best thing i have ever done in my life. looking forward to many years to come!!

happy birthday, eileen!!

i'm wondering what mel is wondering. burpee with extra pushup? or something much much worse?

Jason Lyons said...

Mel, you are correct.

Drop to the ground and touch the deck with your chest, do a push up and drop to the deck again and touch your chest, they do a push up, jump your feet in and complete the burpee.

Nicole was doing this for burpees without knowing it so I corrected her but told her I loved the way she thought so here it is. They suck!

Chris P. said...

Mom, como estas amiga?? Feliz cumpleanos!!

Christina (CC) said...

Happy Birthday Eileen! Love having you around the box.

Also congrats to CFKOP for changing lives for 2 years (so far). I second the fact that is has been a life-changer for me, and for that, I am grateful.

Also, on a non-birthday related note: there is an intro to Mountain Biking class at REI that I would like to take on Sunday, 10/10 - it's $65 if you are a member and they give you a bike for the day.

I know it's the same day as C&J clinic, but if anyone isn't doing that, and wants to do this, let me know.

Here's the link (there's 9 spots as of today): http://www.rei.com/class/42/session/13949

Deb said...

Wow...what a special day for such special people. Happy Birthday Mom!!! It's always an extra special day when you come to the box and one is greeted by your smiling face. You are always so cheerful and full of energy and positive.

And to Aimee and Jason...what a great place you have built. The two of you are always so willing to help and teach others and you have really built a great sense of community - welcoming everyone.

Happy birthday to all!!!

Lots of love on the blog today, and for a great cause. Our box Mom has been such a huge help in so many ways and we are all so grateful to share the special day with her. Happy Birthday, have a excellent week to the best KoP deli chef in the area.
