How do you measure up?

Measure your success. How?

So what came to your mind? How do you measure your success? In your job, in your relationships, in your life in general? What means success for one person may be completely different for someone else.

Recently the Bayou City CrossFit newsletter featured one of my 7:15 class clients, Susan Graham. If you missed the article, Susan is a 62 year old grandmother who comes to class 3x a week and kicks ass every time! When setting goals in July, Susan was determined to to be able to place her own carry on bag in the overhead compartment when she traveled. I loved the fact that Susan's goal and success had nothing to do with a back squat PR, a fast Fran time, or a record number of Tabata push-ups. Susan is the definition of why CrossFit exists. She is why we call it "fundamental fitness." Susan achieved her goal, and on a recent trip to Arizona had a picture snapped of her placing her own carry on bag in the overhead compartment. Success!!!!

I've never been more proud! Susan, whether you realize it or not, you serve as a role model, motivator, and mentor to us all here at BCCF! Keep up the awesome work!
