Letters to Monica

I want to thank all those that have been e-mailing me! You all have very good questions about how I stay motovated and keep up with all of the activities I am involved in. One of my most postive motovations is in fact your questions, fears, challanges and mostly your accomplishments!
I have selected a current e-mail to post and included my response.

Dear Monica,
Have you continued to try out Crossfit? What's it like? I haven't been exercising at all other than walking-- I've been having neck issues, so I've stopped boot camp. But, I read about all these things you are doing. I need to get motivated! I may start running again. You are definitely inspiring!
From,
JS

Dear JS,
So very glad to hear from you JS and to find that no matter what, you still get out there and keep moving. Walking is a great way to keep motovated!
Boot Camp can be difficult when facing an injury I know from experience. Keep up with modified movements, and never give in! The instructors and Liesbet are wonderful at helping in this area.
Thank you for your encouraging words those are what keep me moving forward.
Crossfit is... amazing! I have continued with it as much as I can this week as I am still recovering from my recent marathon and a terrible cold. I have completed some of the fundamental classes and my new friend Allie and I "graduated" and are going to start what's called WOD, workout of the day. We do many different workouts at Crossfit, as a matter of fact I have not done the same thing twice. It's always exciting and challanging and I learn something new everytime I go. I love that! I also get a kick out of the instructors, Tim, Max, Martn and Donny, Their form and movement in these activities is amazing. I started out very modified because of my own issues, my plan is to fire it up next week and keep to a regular schedule. I am still in the Quest Running Group and we have some new people! We also have two races that we are working toward.
I hope to see you at some of these workouts either at Crossfit or back with Quest Runners!
At any time you can contact Tim or Liesbet either by phone or e-mail and let them know your interest, they can help you develop a plan that meets your specific goals and works with your injury.
Feel free to contact me anytime, especially if you want to go for a run or something!
Monica
