November 6, 2012 22 Days of Thanks 2012 - Day 6 I am thankful for following my dreams. Both in and out of the gym I just keep shooting for the next goal, the next dream and the next great thing! Shooting for the stars is nothing new in my life, its was instilled in me at an early age... though time I learned that sometimes you just have to stick your neck out there and go for it. Accepting challenges, setting goals that are not "easy" to achieve and standing behind myself 100% of the way has allowed me to get where I am in my life. You cant get to where you want to be unless you know where you want to be... Just remember, its never, ever, ever too late. Nothing in life is unreachable if you believe in yourself!  WARMUP: 2 X Jump Rope Series - Singles - Left Foor - Right Foor - Skiier - Bell - Double 3 Rounds - 10 Toy Soldiers - 10 Step Ups - 5 Pullups WOD: Take Out 15 Minute AMRAP - 200m Run - 10 Pistols - 15 Med Ball Cleans (20) (5 + 100 Rx) ...

April 21, 2012 Today was my kind of workout. Still loving Saturday mornings at the box, and its so nice that even since the opens have wrapped up there are quite a few people still going. I am back to doing the WOD that I missed on Thursdays since thats my skill session day, on Saturday mornings. Whats nice about that (and different from my weekly routine) is that there are already times and weights on the board from my fellow CFWers. On any given day I am there at 5:30am, therefor we are the first times/weights to get listed. Not that I am "competing" with those who are on the board... or should really focus on that number as long as I am giving it my all... but its nice to have a goal to shoot for and see what others who share my same skill set can do. I honestly debated a skill session after knowing what I saw on Thursday night. I watched a few people complete it while I was skilling... and saw others comments about it on the website. It was going to be a tough one...

April 4, 2012 This was a good one to keep in mind today while doing the WOD (and yes, I am feeling much better today thanks for asking). There is a point where you have to remember that your ego will only take you so far. Its healthy to have confidence, but that confidence can cross a line to cocky pretty quickly if it isnt reeled in. I know I teeter on the line sometimes and its nice to be reminded of the things I really need to work at to keep myself in check. I dont want to be cocky at all... I will never grow if I am cocky.  When I saw the WOD today I was pretty excited both because it contained strengths and weaknesses and I knew it was going to be a good one to challenge my inner drive. I know I can clean, I know I can med ball clean, but I am still struggling on kipping pullups. They have certainly improved and I am certainly more comfortable doing them now, but its still mind over matter. Its a reminder that the only competition you have in a CF gym is with you...
