Torture or is it LOVE

Torture or Love?

CrossFit is definitely my drug

There is something about pushing yourself harder than you ever thought and coming out on top

 just knowing that you gave it EVERYTHING you had

Something about suffering with those around you

cheering

 routing

screaming for them to PUSH THROUGH

ENCOURAGING them to finish

because you know they can do it and you know exactly how they feel

CrossFit for ME is about becoming stronger

not just physically..... but mentally

 This week I have had a few moments where

 I wanted to quit

 I actually contemplated not doing a set of backsquats because it was just SO HARD

Well guess what, I CAN DO HARD THINGS

I looked around me at my teammates 

Gordon Chase, Laura Dickerson, Elsa Vandermous, Christopher Feller, Jacob Marinez and Tyler Bauerline, 

all I saw were a bunch of bad asses working there butts off...

NOT GIVING UP

I did my last set

 Then the following day I was making every excuse to myself NOT to train

This is NOT a usual feeling for me. I LOVE to train

I was sore, I was tired

I had so much to do with family coming in town for the holiday

 blah blah blah

I almost didn't go

....BUT....

I knew those same people I mentioned before would be there

 grinding it out

I needed to be there too getting stronger

 So I went

 I showed up and it was another TOUGH day but at the end I felt so good

 IT IS NOT A GOOD WORKOUT IF IT DOESN'T PUSH YOU.
