Day 13 - Weight 308.6 lbs. - The Beat Down I Wanted

I guess I had to go back again today. I'm blasted. I must be stupid or something! I didn't sleep well because I'm enjoying a head cold, and I'm worn out from a tough week, and yet I went to CrossFit just to visit and particpiate in some small way. Despite being ill-prepared and feeling miserable, I let them encourage me to work out anyway. It's not like I didn't think it'd happen... after all, I brought my stuff! Well, not all of it, just the stuff in my bag. No towel. No change of clothes (and on a blustery winter day!). No recovery snack.

I guess I showed up and pushed. I guess it was good for me. I ended up feeling better in comparision to how I felt this morning (though that went downhill). Nobody put a gun to my head. I hope to be able to be able to participate in life tomorrow. I need a bit of recharge and I'm not sure a full day is gonna be enough, but I trust my people.

I did not need a recovery snack. John and I both suspect that I've gotten over the hump--or should I say, John says I'm probably over the hump, and he's wringing his hands while I, being the scientist, want a bit more proof. I'll be prepared in the future, just in case. But honestly, I don't even want a recovery snack. If I need it, fine, if not, leave it in the bag.

With a heaving thrust and a grunt, the wary warrior forces the blade in deep. There is no mistaking the demon's shudder, or the way he curls his wrists and draws in his arms and legs before settling in to his fate. He is dead, to be resurrected only in the warrior's mind.

The endless encouragement I'm getting from the local CrossFit community is so kind. I may even believe some of it one of these days. John even has me considering the Boilermaker.

I've been worn out all day but with a few flashes of useful brilliance. I do not regret my CrossFit adventure today but it may not have been the wisest move. I will sleep well tonight! I hope.

Boy am I glad to be done with today... sound familiar? Though I went a bit over on the carbs late, it was because my cold stinks and I'm coming down with a fever. I want my mommy, a bottle and a soft crib complete with stuffed frog and blankie. Based on the rules and all that, my total points for the day: 0


Total points so far: 1
