Thanks Holly, We all needed to hear this. We all have to remember that our bad days make us stronger. They make us push a little harder and let us celebrate our huge accomplishemnts.Always knowing that there will be something that makes us feel tired or weak right around the corner. Its how we move on and push threw that makes us all true crossfitters. The best part is we do it as a Cynergy family.

Thanks for the post Holly….it is always a wonderful reminder that we (CrossFitters) do so much more than most people. “Showing up” at a Globo Gym does not quite have the same meaning as showing up for a CF WOD!…not even close!
Take pride in the work you all put into these WOD’s, good days, bad days et al!
What I love most about you all is the fact that even battered and bruised you will show up and do something! You work around what you need to but you SHOW UP! There is no greater sign of character in my book!
Stay at it, challenge what you once deemed impossible and get it done!

Just a little FYI I was on the Crossfit main site and watching the vid on “crossfot risk retention Group” on 4/30/09 and we finally had a spotting of one Mr. Keith Brown. Guess that is why we haven’t seen him around, he has been mingling with the bigwigs. See if you can spot him in the vid.

Holly, thanks for this post! This translates to life as well! No matter what happens, you showed up! Love that. Crossfit has made me ten times stronger mentally then I will ever be strength wise and I am proud of that. “showing up” to the box is more than what “normal people” ever do in there life. I am proud to tell people that I am a crossfitter and not because of the work that I do but because of the community I now belong to! The efforts and performances I see day in and day out at the Box humble me. I love telling people that I know “soccer moms” that could kick their ass! Crossfit is a way of life and one that I believe makes me a better person and I have to thank every member of the Cynergy family for that!! As the saying goes..”TRAIN TO NOT SUCK AT LIFE!”

Awesome Holly! It is so true. I know I look at the board with admiration for those who have already accomplished what lies ahead for me. I don’t want to put specific names for fear that I will leave someone out, but all of you 5 AM and 6 AM athletes inspire me everyday! I have had my share of bad days, but I would rather experience a bad day at Crossfit than do nothing at all. I tell people all the time that the hardest part is showing up.

BTW – Suzie, your shitty day still looks impressive to me!

So true!! We need to recognize that these workouts and challenges aren’t for the weak: whether that’s in body, mind, or spirit. Remembering that you are here, especially knowing you are going to get your ass kicked, should be celebrated everyday! Thanks Holl!!
