The world of…can

Crossfit: nearly each morning we make our way to Crossfit in Longmont. As we pull up we know that the next hour will be extreme, challenging, testing, sweating and fulfilling. It will be fun in an odd sort of why….like you know that the end result is good and healthy on so many levels, even […]

The door to your destiny

I did the mile. Then I rowed the 2k. Then I did the push presses. Of course all that was done after the warmup of bear crawls. During each exercise you think about stopping, quitting or just sitting down but you don’t. Why? Why not? You keep going because it is you with you seeking […]

Personal best …every day

The words “personal best” stuck with me. We were at Crossfit and hit two personal bests. Back squat at 165 lb and snatch at 90 lbs. But the words stayed with me. Why not in every effort go for your personal best. Test yourself. Challenge yourself. Push yourself. Your life must be going on all […]

A sledge hammer and the effort

Crossfit was about a sledgehammer and a truck tire. 100 swings. Just that basic. But so much of getting things done are basic.  Just showing up, grabbing the situation…here a sledgehammer… And making the honest effort. Think about it. How often do you see folks just not even trying. They give up on the challenge […]

Amazing effort

What is beauty? What is timeless beauty? Today, it was a Crossfit workout that challenged both of us to exhaustion. Jumping rope. Kettle bell swings. Jogging. Rowing. Hand stand pushups.  Pull ups. Burpees. Squats. So what is timeless beauty? The effort. The climb. The strain. The sweat. The refusing to give in to wanting to give […]

Seconds….cherish seconds

The Crossfit WOD took all there was out of all of us. At the end the floor was covered with sweat. The shirts were soaked through. The muscles were aching. The feeling was totally used up. Totally used up. Whatever you are doing be totally used up. Used up is a good feeling. Tapping into […]

The peak awaits you at any age
