When the going gets rough and you have someone standing by pushing you, believing in you and encouraging you to finish. Sometimes it takes that little extra umph to help cross the line of where you feel like you just cant go on... When working out at a CrossFit gym that is an experience that is more frequent than you would imagine in any other circumstance. This morning I had decided I wanted to face the WOW... the Lumberjack 20. This is a tough WOD, a long one, which requires focus and a lot of push to keep on going.

From here on it will be referred to as "Murph" in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is. (Crossfit.com) I had stopped over at the WOD Love tent while we were in Canton (and will give them a little “love” on my blog here) and bought my “Heros” t-shirt that I have been trying to win every chance I get on their WOD Love Give-a-ways every Wednesday on the book of faces. I wore it with honor and pride to the gym today! This workout touched me more than I was expecting it to. I feel that it is such an honor that...
