“Be your own hero”

Lot’s of heros today! Thanks for the motivation and great challenge. Happy Birthday Tammy. My people tell me you shattered your time. Way to push it. Let’s put that on the list again soon! I’m still high on adrenaline, can’t seem to come down.

Oddly enough I have blisters on my blisters?

That was quite the workout! looking forward to the next time. I nearly laughed when I saw the board and thouht it was impossible. I surprised myself by getting through most of it. Next time I’ll own it. 🙂

Good job all! I’m jealous and feeling very far behind you all. Can’t wait to start back up in August.

might be interesting – I know I should do it – want to do it – will I do it?

Well, many people have commented over the yrs that I think too much/analyze too much – they didn’t say that I thought or analyzed correctly however…. many thoughts about yesterday – I saw the pic of Alan – I assume it was taken after the Murph yest – maybe it was before and he was praying to get out of it or maybe he was being admonished about something by Faith? Anyway, I have almost never pushed myself to anywhere near the point that he does almost every exercise… I want to push harder, and try to push a little harder a lot – I still find it really hard to really push that hard…. Part of me wants to….

But, when I heard about the “Murph” thing about 8 months ago, I thought, “I would stand a snowball’s chance in hell of ever doing anything even near that….” and “They’ll (Alan’ll) never expect me to do anything like that….”

I was at Leo’s party wed nt – of all the people there, only a few were overweight and the conversations were about hiking, rock climbing, way back country stuff. When I was in MS from 2003 to 2006, everyone was overweight and the conversations were about hunting with 4 wheelers (and this was massively obese men), and from the women was about hairdoes, taking their twin poodles fifi and foofoo to the doggy parlor, etc.

At the party I heard that the next mornings crossfit was going to be hard and long – I went with more than some trepidation (I was scared as shit). When I saw “Murph” I really thought, “oh, shit….” then I said, “I’ll give it a try…” I did most of it pretty well, but I did have to leave a little early because I had someone coming to do backhow work at the house.

Later that day, I realized I felt really good in every way – and I wasn’t sore all over…. about 8 p.m. I was thinking, “I am not really sore at all – I wonder if the ‘random damage’ Alan talks about had really done me much good – we all know that to build muscle ya gotta tear some down….” About 10 p.m. I was realizing that I might have done more than I thought…. this a.m. I realalized that my body was saying, “Way to go!!!! lemme show you all the places you tore stuff down and I am now building up….” But again, this kind of aching is really feeling good….

So, again, thanks for the “damage” – and thanks for the preparation for a “murph.” That is something else I realized this a.m. – when I said a year ago I would NEVER do anything like that – it all really sneaked up on me and yesterday I could have done it (if I hadn’t had to leave….). Whooppeeeee….

How many others would have said they never could have done a “murph”? How about that picture of Lori with the big smile – I don’t remember her smiling like that months and months ago….
