Two Years, Two Months and Twenty-Eight Days

That's how long my dear friend, Devon, worked on accomplishing a goal - an unassisted pull up!

For those of you who had to do the Presidential Physical Fitness Test, you know that women and pull ups don't go hand in hand (flexed arm hang, please!).

Devon starting doing Crossfit over two years ago. Her commitment level is an inspiration. She gets up, two mornings per week, for a 5:15am work out. And these work outs are intense. I've done them a few times and am impressed by those who do them regularly.

Since she started doing Crossfit regularly, Devon's had some pretty amazing physical changes. She's lost weight, gained muscle and overall looks amazing. She's also put her mind to some goals - completing an unassisted pull up being one of them.

She and Kelsey (who do Crossfit together), go to our office gym every afternoon and practice. All working towards this impressive goal.

So the other day, she did it! She did her first unassisted pull up and her Crossfit coach caught it on film.

I'm always proud of Devon. She's a great friend, colleague and always so supportive of when I reach my goals. I can't wait to see what she does next.
