Knowing Your Target Audience

I have an obsessive personality. I admit that. It's the only way I was able to lose weight. When I care about something new I tend to go overboard in thinking and talking about it.

It has been brought to my attention that people just don't want to hear about my workouts. They don't care what kicked my ass. They don't care how I'm progressing. They don't want to hear about it.

This makes things complicated for me. I get a thrill out of succeeding. I get a thrill out if being able to do something that I never would've dreamed I could.

For 162 hours a week I am a mom. I walk into CFMK (CrossFit Manhattan Kansas) and I am no longer a mom. I'm a chick who wants to succeed. I'm a chick who wants to do things I never imagined I could. And it is exciting.

I leave and I want to talk about it. I want to share my accomplishments. I want to say, "I played with that tractor tire today. My form wasn't the best, I could feel it, but it was fun. I flipped that fucker over so many times and it was AWESOME!"

But no one wants to hear it. So this is where I will let it out. If people read it, great. If not, I got it out of my system a little and that's all I can ask for.

I love CrossFit. Not being able to talk about it sucks, but it won't keep me from going. In all honesty, it will keep me obsessing because the only place I can talk about it or let it out is there. I have read that CF is cult-like. Maybe it is, I dunno. All I know is that I love it. And it will take a lot to keep me away.

Oh. And... I played with that tractor tire today. My form wasn't the best, I could feel it, but it was fun. I flipped that fucker over so many times and it was AWESOME!
