Rest / Read 100409 S

and more great stuff from Crossfit 324...

REST AND CONSIDER YOUR MORTALITY

The heart beats incesantly like a time bomb that we can't hear but know it's there. Like a time bomb that will explode at an undetermined hour, the heart will stop beating just the same. If we lived with a time bomb strapped to our chest would we do anything differently? What if the clock was only audible at random intervals, reminding us that we could go at any time? Would the loud and unwelcomed ticking ruin our day? Do we prefer deafened ears to the sounds of our dimishing capacity? Our quota is getting consumed with every second. Do we really have time to waste? Can we count on doing it tomorrow or some other day?

We don't rest because we are lazy or because our capacity is exhausted. We stop so we can start again. Rest only so that you can go harder. When you're laid to rest you can take a break once and for all. Avoid dying before expiring.

If you rested yesterday it's time to work today.

  1. I added some dates and info under the "upcoming events" section. I'll try to keep this area updated better from now on. That way those who want to test themselves can plan on the date and those who want to avoid testing their mental and physical fitness due to fear of experinecing that uncomfortable feeing, aka the "dark place", can do so.

  2. Thanks Clint for the publicity. It is much appreciated. You guys at The Shop are a perfect example of how cool the CrossFit community is. I can't wait to visit "the dark place" with you guys next week.
