Begin (again)

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Just as fitness is a lifelong pursuit, so is life itself.  The constant re-trying, new attempts and re-making of one's self is never ending.  Sometimes we start over because we have fallen down.  Other times, we begin again because we have accomplished the previous goal we had set for ourselves.  And then sometimes we begin again because we are going at an old objective in a new way.  Whatever the reason, as I once heard a seasoned firefighter say, "When you run out of something to shoot for, you die."  It's the end of the week, but it's really just another beginning.

Workout of the Day (last done 9/7/09)

10 rounds for time:

5 Front Squats (135, 95)
5 Push Press or Jerk (135, 95)

Scale as needed but use the same barbell for both.

This is typically my kind of workout. I'll be there, but scaling down is SO frustrating! However, pushing my back recovery too fast tends to be a self correcting behavior. :)

There is a recorder in the gym that hears me everytime I talk about a killer workout that we did and how much I hated it...because it never fails that it shows up a couple days later!

I know what you mean Mendy. I really hate that workout where we laid on the floor for 30 minutes then stretched lightly and all had hot chocolate. :) Hope that one doesn't show up again soon!

Let me apologize for my behavior tonight, it was not one of my finer moments. There are no excuses to quit, and that is exactly what I did. I'm ashamed and will not let it happen again! Definitely need to begin (again)!!! See everyone Monday with a new outlook!!
