Well, after a long day off from Crossfit(Aren't those supposed to be relaxing?) we got back to it this morning. I actually felt pretty good this morning but I think Carlie had a bit of a fight getting out of bed. When we showed up at the box there was a good turn out, it's so much more fun with a big group, that way everyone can commiserate and share in each others struggle.
Today's WOD:
(5x)
200m Run
12 Kettlebell Swings
21 Sit Ups
Micah 10:19(44lbs)
Carlie: 10:57(26lbs)
Today I really tried to put myself out of my comfort zone and be more verbal with my encouragement of other people. I always worry that they will take it the wrong way and think I'm being sarcastic or condescending. But in reality these are the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. What makes CrossFit so great to me is that everyone is so supportive and positive to one another. There is always someone telling you "great job!" or "you can do this!" Which sometimes is all you need to make it through the workout. So I really want to pass that on and be that support for someone else. Even though I feel awkward and uncomfortable at times doing it, it is one of my personal goals that isn't something physical. I want to give others the great sense of community and friendship that everyone exudes at the box everyday.
I'm ranting here but seriously, the level of respect and encouragement that each individual shows everyday just amazes me! And it's from everyone at every level, from the coaches to those like Carlie and I who've only been doing it for a few weeks, everyone is on this level of respect for one another for wanting to be better people. It's contagious! I know it sounds corny, but these people are sincerely there to help you succeed and grow, and I want to do the same for them. Crossfit Rules!
