SNOW DAY
Arrive at school and what do I see,
Feidt's Red Truck just waitin' for me!
6am is awfully early when school gets closed,
Everyone else slumbering in their beds, off in a doze.
We followed the prescribed WOD and worked really hard,
Vick on his stepper, we were the avant Garde!
Leave it to Avalanche as he arrived in a 'tizzy,
to guide a great group, at least they were busy.
Afraid of the strength, he led them astray,
the Avalanche knows best, you should do it HIS way!

Motivation.
You may not want to chat, but we are going to.
It has been a while. Things have been crazy, life is crazy.
We should accept the fact that life is just how it is and keep moving forward... There are lots of wonderful people that should tell you these things. If you are having problems with finding people that tell you whats up, let me know, I can make it happen. I might even share the person that tells me 'how it really is'... maybe.
It seems that the 3 month mark has come... there are lots of things that we want to put first.
E says, " I want more family and friends in life. If that would happen the weekends wouldn't be just where it is an option or the only option...."
He is right. The way we are able to share our time. The way we are able to make things work, to make the most out of our time, the way we can drive the situation in our favor or the best favor. Life gets crazy.
Priding yourself on separation between work and family/home life is great. But this is a trying year, at least for us, and it is hard to keep up with things and make sure everything is getting done.
What do you do?
Well, YOU find a kid like this via YOUTUBE and you realize:
Suck it up.... LIFE STINKIN ROCKS!
There is no better place to be.

OUTSTANDING JOB TODAY... Everyone was pushing the limits! You could just HEAR the work going on...People pushing themselves and others. When I am resting and breathing, it is nice to get a "c'mon lets go..." or "get moving" from a teammate!
Affect someone positive TODAY...Offer words of encouragement or a helping hand!
You will receive it back x10!

Adjusted
I felt the compulsion to write a little bit tonight. I'm in the middle of making dinner and I'm waiting to perform my next task...take out chicken, put in sweet potato fries... blah blah. Cooking is cool when you get to eat good food, but what a complete time suck. I need to cook for 6 hours on Sunday to get done with cooking all week. Some day...
Anyway, I like TB's prompt of what our thoughts are during the workouts... here are some of mine in no particular order:
-I have to beat Bert. Don't let him win. He's beating you, step it up...
-C'mon, five more reps.. cmon, three more.. (depending on the workout, it changes)
-two, two, and one... three, three, three....(its nice to break it down)
-33 percent there, half way, three quarters... (percents help too)
-C'mon you pussy pick it up, pick up the damn bar.
-I know I can go harder, let's go!
-If I puke, big deal.
-I hope I don't pass out when this bar is over my head
-I have to beat Bert.
-stand up on the box, c'mon don't cheat
-he's gonna hurt himself (eventually), too much weight.
-Get full range of motion, form over time. FORM OVER TIME!
-pull up harder, get up there
-push it, only ten reps... ONLY 10.
After my intimate encounter with the Earth, aka, my mild concussion/whiplash, I realized no matter how fit, or how good you feel, nothing protects you from accidents. No human is Superman, and everyone is susceptible to injury and bad health. I was talking to Val and Mr. Steve about how I've been so fortunate to have great health. Minimal sickness, and seemingly nothing extremely wrong for 24 years... This is today. Tomorrow, next week, next year.. who knows, we can't predict the future. Car crash, pancreas explodes, liver failure, brain aneurysm..no one knows. One minute we're ok, the next second our world flips.
I've always had the philosophy that we aren't getting out of this place alive. Call me doom-and-gloom or whatever, but it's true. The best days are to come, and so are the worst. It's part of passing though this world. We are here for all but a blink in time...just a grain of sand. No regrets, and give er hell. As Ozark Mountain Daredevils once said, "If you're going to get to Heaven, you've got to raise a little hell."
To me, every one of you are "some kind of wonderful"...that one coined by Grand Funk Railroad.
