This is a great article.
Because we must. Because CrossFit hurts. Because it makes us cry. Because it really sucks. Because it is the hardest thing we’ve ever had to do. Because it is the easiest thing we’ve ever had to do. Because we hate it. Because we love it. Because, ultimately, we want to know what courage really is. Because, in all of our time on this planet, we have never once put our lives on the line and learned what it really, really means to be afraid and step forward anyway. Because in the darkest depths of our workouts, in the minute of greatest pain, in that last ten Burpees of the Filthy Fifty, in the last Clean of “Linda”, in that airless, starry moment when we place one foot over the edge of the cliff and walk forward to see if the very clouds themselves will hold us up, in that moment – that moment alone — we are truly alive.
Matraca Berg sang it best: “Leap. And a net will appear.” That net is us – the person we didn’t know we could be, the warrior within, the conqueror unleashed – that very part of us that forces perseverance, that demands discipline, no matter the consequences. CrossFit brings us to that place inside of ourselves.
In this plush, overfed part of the world that we live in, CrossFit strips us to the bone and lets us see the very marrow of our souls. And what lies there, inside of us, is not always pretty. Sometimes it is a bitter heart, or a quitter’s attitude, or a cheater’s nature. It is raw and revealed and naked. But it is us. It is who we are, who we were, and, most importantly, who we will be if we do not work harder. In that realization of our own inadequacies, however, lies our very salvation. For, within the confines of the Workout of the Day, if we’re lucky, in that moment of dedication and drive, in that frenzy of encouragement, support, and love for our fellow CrossFitters, we also catch a glimpse of our very best selves – and, if we’re observant, we see it in others too. Through our CrossFitting efforts, we see who we could become, with a little more effort, a little more honesty, and a little more courage. Just like a faster 5K time, that better self is within our grasp; if we try hard enough, if we do the work, if we believe. Try. Work. Believe.
This is the true challenge: to use CrossFit to become a better person, not just at CrossFit, but in life. Allow CrossFit to awaken that warrior within and then use this force to make a difference. How do we do this? By not settling for the easy option. By not using the phrase “good enough.” By learning to use — to live — words like “serve” and “sacrifice” and “community.” By doing the right thing. Always. Even when it hurts the most. Especially when it hurts the most. By living our lives so that thorough examination of our actions reveals only character, prudence, and honor. By living as a warrior should. Now, more than ever, in this overindulgent society of ours, we need warriors. We cannot continue to expect our warrior class – our Marines, soldiers, sailors, airmen, cops, and firefighters – to bear the entire burden of protecting the very fabric of our society. We all, in small ways, must do what we can in our communities to uphold values like honesty and justice and responsibility. We must be warriors in our hearts, willing to fight for what is right, and to face the enemy, even when the enemy is us. When we CrossFit, maybe in some small way, we take that first step toward mentally joining the warrior class. And then, hopefully, we take another step. Hopefully, we inspire those around us to join us in what could be described as a crusade for a better society, a better nation, and a better world. The future really is in our hands.
Leap. And the net will appear.

Someone else in the Globogym here in E-ville spotted my wm up. Sweet! I was so happy to meet another Crossfitter. I am not alone.
Warmed up snatches and should have stayed at a very low wt.
135-135-135-135-*tweak* in my back. I am done.
My form sucked and I know that's what caused it. Dammit. Time to practice my form and not try to hang with the big boys just yet. Just popped a pill so I can try to make tomorrow count.
The only good news is I completed the silver award at presidentschallenge.org. On to Gold now.

Senior Chief Petty Officer Thomas J. Valentine, 37, of Ham Lake, Minnesota, died in a training accident in Arizona, on Feb. 13.
Had to sub towel pull-ups for rope climbs so I brought one from home. Of course, my towel ripped and the globo-gymers thought I ruined one of theirs. So, after continuing to tear up my towel, I decided not to disrespect Senior and practiced some more jump ropes.
RIP Senior Chief, we have the watch.

Slowly the Crossfit philosophy is spreading in Newburgh, IN. Had a guy come up to me and ask me what and why I was doing whatever it was I was doing. So I explained the site to him and he said he would check it out. I think I need a T-shirt that says, "No, I'm not deluded, just doing Crossfit."

Modified Linda
I decided to let Linda choose my reps for me, as this is the first time I have done her.
I started at 1.5 times body wt. 300 #s. After rep 2 I didn't like the popping noise my back was doing(back injury from the Coast Guard). Reduced DL to 225 # and left the rest as RX'd. I did 4 more DLs at the reduced wt and could do no more. So I started at 6...I know. Pathetic. But I'm a noob to this stuff, and doing it only makes me stronger. To not do, means I will never satisfy Linda...
6-5-4-3-2-1
DL at 225 lb
Bench press at 200 lb
Clean at 150 lb
I followed up with a reduced wt 155lb DL set of 5 for 10 reps each. Obviously I need the practice.

I must admit that I can't remember all of you, but the picture you gave me and the messages you wrote are proudly displayed in the tower I work in now. You are my real family, and you are welcome in my home anytime.
Shortstuff. Mikey "two toes", Rascal, Froesus, LZ, J Dubya, Crummy, Mocha, Lost, Meatball, Chief Hall, Ray aka "Roy", Eddie Scar-burry, Stifler, Stucky, Burlew, Joe the Bulldog, Doc Louie, Cookie, Yucko the Clown, Sinner, MCPO Frank, SCPO Kevin, Schmitty, Hoosier, Miller, Susskey, XO and CO. The list goes on, I can't remember as well, but your faces are easier to remember.
I miss you guys. This beer is for all of you.
May your tail rotors and autos always give you that rush. I will keep the hangar doors open.
Fair winds and following seas. Smooth tailwinds.

30 min 185 lbs. I was initially surprised at the greater amount of mid-line stabilization required to perform this exercise when compared to the back squat.
I went ahead and did yesterday's WOD:
50-40-30-20-10
Jump rope (modified due to this shitty calf injury)
Sit-ups
10 min
Am I just falling apart cause I am approaching 30? I think not. It could be worse, I could be in Iraq, right Johnny? I think a 44 y/o that can keep up with me just proves that 30 is just the beginning of my prime.

"Randy"
75 pound Power snatch, 75 reps for time.
40 Min.
I was approached by a fellow globo-gym-er. He asked me questions about my workout. Told me a few tips on his days at doing snatches. For the most part he agreed with what I had to say about globo-gyms. Then I told him about Crossfit and how he should check out the site. He blew me off, you know, kinda how someone says, "try this" and you just nod your head and flush it as soon as you walk away. I decided to finish up with 100 sit ups and 100 back extensions. Then he approached me again and asked,"How many sets did they have you do?" I told him, "75 total". He says,"No, how many sets?" I said, to clarify, "75 total, no rests. Those rests you saw me do were cause I just started this stuff." His eyes got a bit wider and he asked me again what the site was. LOL!
