One Day...

Take it how you want...
One Day of a snow day...
One Day of school left...
One Day till 12 Days of Christmas WOD...

You name it...There is always just one day...
Life is a string of ONE DAYS...this is what makes up your life!
Live each day, not as if it was your last, but live each day to the fullest!
It starts with YOU! How is your attitude? When you get up in the morning do you take the time to start right...get right...be ready for the day? The things you say to yourself everyday are the way you present yourself to the world! 
BE WORTH LISTENING TO!

Don't let "negative" bring you down!  Everyday, there are going to be situations (people, surroundings, environment, etc.) that you cannot control that can get you down.  Avoid these as much as possible, and when you cannot...keep as positive an attitude as will be allowed.  Get back to positive as soon as you can get away/out of the predicament.  

Surround yourself with people that make you better. Know who you can goto to get a positive push...do they know they are the people that make you better? Maybe you should tell them...

Never forget is to cliche...time passes and we do forget, put things in the past... It is human nature. 
It's not that we should never forget, it is the fact that we must live each day remembering to BE GOOD / DO GOOD! Live your life right...never let the negative/evil overcome you so much that you are in despair!

WOW!

12 Days of Christmas Saturday

8:30 prep/warm-up...9am Start!!!

So... what are we doing?

I remember why I like Saturday Wods: it reminds me of summer.
Our start time is never when we start.  We work hard together and we have a bit of lax after to stretch and just review what we did, what worked for us better, or just talk about things... we see each other the most but sometimes we get so caught up in work, in sports, in life, we forget to just stop and talk about the now, at this moment, what we just did and how we did it.

of course... without us getting tb's text early enough Jacob had CrossfitHardcore up in an instant and it was decided:
Pursuing a Goal.
3rnds 4 time
20- KBswings 55/70
40- PushPress 55/75
60- AirSquats
7- Alt. Grip PullUps (subst for 1 ropeclimb)

Jacob- 17:34 Rx
Des- 20:24 purple
Britt- slowed at 2rnd.... letting the new 'eyes' adjust means slowing down a bit
Schmitty- 18:04 55/55/purple
Ethan- 23:34 55/75/green
Kate- 18:30 45/55/purple
Val- 18:02 Rx

nice work.

Spent some time reading about what is going on in the nation today.  Updating the news from a variety of sources... after the radio information yesterday (which was WRONG) and what the real information may be today in the reports, it is hard to trust the facts the media states sometimes.
What I do know is that I am proud to be a public educator, amazed by the actions those in my field do for children, their peers, and their community, grateful to know what we enlisted in an all or nothing career by choice.... we know that no number could ever define the severity of an event, even the thought is devastating enough.  May Newtown and it's families find peace from this painful tragedy.
