the impossible becomes possible
I knew when I started CrossFit that I would keep going. Not that I've never quit anything, (I am a notorious quitter), but this felt different. And I have kept going. Last night was workout #6. It was pretty darn hard. But I did it. So we have been going for 3 weeks now, and are on the 3x a week schedule. Now that we are doing weightlifting (with weights), I have some sore muscles on my back and arms, but nothing, I repeat nothing like that first pain. It's actually pretty minor on the "pain" scale, I hardly notice, unless I move a certain way. I have lost around 3 or 4 pounds. I haven't measured myself, but I think I lost some inches, I suspect I lost fat but gained muscle, and that is a good thing. CrossFit is hard. Challenging. Craig is a great coach, he teaches you how to do the moves with infinite patience, and he wants you to succeed. He keeps it hard, and only gives you a break in rep's or weight when he knows you can't do it. Weirdly, that is rare, because what I've found out is that I can do it. Skipping, push up's, sit up's, and finally, I figured out the squat. Burpee's and all the variations (long jump burpee, and last night box jump burpee) are the hardest. Just need to keep pushing, I know these will someday be better. I don't think they are ever easy, but better. Then you do more. Faster. hahahahaha. Everyone at the workout is sweating like crazy and red in the face at the end, and completely drained. It's pretty awesome. klow WOW indeed :)
