Lucky Day
Today is your lucky day if you think it is.
Yes, it’s that simple. Don’t try to get all rational about it and start adding up logistics and woes and excuses and nonsense and craptastic attitude inhibitors.
Today is your lucky day if you think it is. Today is the day you get that PR, or you make that lift, or you just have a damn good workout in which you don’t feel the injury you’re nursing. Maybe for an hour today, your heart soars and you forget your troubles, your losses, your empty ache in this life. That’s a lucky day, isn’t it?
There is going to be a shitload of things that happen today that you cannot control. Deal with it. Deal with each and every situation: decide if each one is a challenge or a burden. But remember this: challenges are a hell of a lot more fun than burdens.
See, the only thing you can control is your attitude. You can explode or you can laugh. You can fall or you can rise. You can hurt, or you can help. Pick what you’re going to do, and don’t be surprised when your attitude predicts your accomplishment.
Today is your lucky day if you think it is.
Strength: Hbbs 3-3-3-3-3
WOD:
6 rounds
2 clean and jerks (135#/95)
1 rope climb
hbbs: 205#. wasn’t feeling the squats this morning for some reason
wod: 5:17 rx+ (165#)…very fun combination!
hbbs: 135# PR and 1×140#. amazing how much of a difference 5# makes…
wod: 6:09 Rx. Thought i was being so smart wearing socks until i realized i left my thighs unprotected. mmmm rope burn.
I heart Lisbeth Darsh.
HBBS: 245#, matched PR
WOD: 4:59 Rx, I definitely have room for improvement on rope climbs. My natural tendency is to only use my arms, which will probably cause issues with longer workouts. And now I know to wear pants or long socks… rope burn.
Sometimes 2 pairs of pants don’t even help. Ugh.
the bare thigh rope burn makes for an awkward day at work 🙂
hey guys!
a coworker (and friend!) of mine just started doing crossfit this morning over at crossfit boston. she’s an avid supporter of susan g. komen and has participated in a bunch of the 3-day walks they host. crossfit boston is sponsoring her for the next 6 months as she works to get herself back into shape and she’s blogging about it along the way!
