12 weeks and counting.....

We are now UNDER the 12 week mark for the Indy North Competition -

I am excited yet nervous. I spent this past weekend retaking my level 1 CrossFit Certification in Grand Blanc Michigan - CrossFit continues to amaze me.

What did I learn this weekend - maybe I should say relearn. There were many things I knew but you tend to let them slip and slide to the wayside as time passes on....my favorite line was:

Magic is in the Movement (Anyone can do them!)
Science is in the Explanations (Trainers - that's for you!)
Art is in the Programming (It's not easy!)
Heart is in the Community (For all the people we love!)

CrossFit as a WHOLE is a unique community. You see when you meet another CrossFitter it's kind of like a respect thing. You just know their capabilities - whether they just started or are well into their exploration as a CrossFitter. I love attending ANYTHING CrossFit because we are a group of people beyond comparison to any other groups of people.

CrossFit makes me happy - and sometimes I let myself be defined by what I am capable of doing as a CrossFitter! Is this Good? Is this Bad? I guess that is a matter of personal opinion - I'll let you decide....

So day 1 of my training for the Indy North competition just happens to be a rest day - this body is TIRED!! 2 days of certification training - makes me ready for a nap!

Another quote worth sharing - "Do not FEAR your workout - RESPECT it!" I did just that this time when they ran us through Fran at the end of a very long day. I respected her - she still kicked my ass and left me rolling on the floor like an infant - but I respected her. I suppose that means that this time, I'm not allowed to call her a bitch!
