It’s my orangetheory-versary! I started coming to otfedgewater one year ago. My Crohn’s disease was flaring badly at the time, and I couldn’t run outside anymore. But one day, I decided I’d use the little energy I had to take a class, knowing there were three (!!!) bathrooms in the studio. I was really weak, and couldn’t get through the treadmill portion of class without taking lots of walk breaks and a few bathroom breaks. But as the weeks went on, I started running a little more. Lifting a little heavier. Rowing a little faster. I still remember the day I ran for a full 24-minute treadmill block. I cried in my car after class, because I knew I was making my comeback. Eventually, my push pace became my base pace. I could hold a 12 MPH pace for 1 minute and 18 seconds. I ran a 5K PR despite very little outdoor running. I kept going to Orangetheory as I got healthier and stronger, and made some really good friends along the way. Now, at 22 weeks pregnant, I’m back to those walk breaks and bathroom stops, and my former base pace is now my all-out. And I still love it. .
