Donna turned 80 YEARS OLD yesterday!
And naturally, she celebrated by coming to the gym and doing 80 mat sit-ups for time. Because what else would you do on your 80th birthday???
If you don’t know Donna, she’s been doing CrossFit for quite some time now, but she didn’t even start until she was in her 60s.
And THIS is what CrossFit is all about.
CrossFit is about becoming the fittest, healthiest version of yourself for as long as freaking possible.
The competition is always with you.
It’s you vs. that mat.
You vs. that box jump.
You vs. that barbell.
Just constantly trying to get a little better and make your life outside of the gym a little better too.
Sometimes we forget that when we see leaderboards, handstand walks, crazy gymnastics and big lifts. And don’t get me wrong, all of that stuff is cool and fun.
But the real goal?
To be 80 years old, rolling into the 8:30 CrossFit class and doing 80 sit-ups for time.
That is cool. That is CrossFit.
Happy 80th Donna!!! Keep crushing it, keep inspiring us, and please never stop making the rest of us look bad 😂
