I used to share.. but then FB got in the way. Okay... how about this for sharing... I HATE REST DAYS! I was speaking to Tom about this... somehow Crossfit has become a "feel good" addiction. Why?
Because although I almost pass out at the end of the workouts, I feel GREAT that I worked out and I accomplished what I set out to do that day. Well on rest days... I get so totally bummed and depressed. I try to do something at home... but it just isn't the same. It's like I need my group to carry me through.
There... how's that for sharing? Now you can answer me back that I am lame. LOL
Screw facebook, this is where the action is lol!
Lame? Never! You've been a diehard soldier since day ONE and you should be proud...I am! You can't skip your rest days though! Taking time off to recover is not only vital to your physical progression, but it will reduce the occurance of those pesky overuse injuries that will slow you down and/or keep you on the sidelines. But anyway, this a great addiction to have...and of course I know the feeling.
When I found CrossFit and I decided to drink the Kool-Aid, it changed everything for me. It made me realize that I sucked at a lot of things and I had to humble myself in order to grow. I sucked at running, I sucked at jumping rope, and I sucked at pull-ups...and doing the CrossFit WODs forced me to come to terms with the fact that I needed to stop hiding from the things I wasn't good at. And it required me to stop measuring my biceps and start measuring my progress as an overall athlete...which was tough honestly. Now, the way I see it is that the end of every tough workout is a hard earned victory that makes you a stronger person mentally and physically. A tough workout forces you to reach inside yourself and pull out the characteristics that make you who you are.
This is about more than just exercise, which is the part that most people don't seem to get. You have to possess a certain mindset to do this. You have to wake up every day and have a hunger to be better. Also, to do what we do, we have to possess a level of courage, fortitude, and vision that the majority of our population will NEVER have...and that's one of the many reasons why I'm proud to be a member of the CrossFit community.
