Crossfit's Personality

Before I start my rant, I have another rant. I really don't like the name of this blog anymore, it doesn't really portray what I'm about or have grown into over the past 2 years, so it may change. Heads up :)

Anyways. I decided last night that Crossfit has a personality. For the past 2 or 3 weeks, I was so disenchanted with Crossfit, my knees were aching from running and every time I did go I struggled and that just pissed me off. After a few great weeks of training, that BS happens. Not surprisingly, how I was feeling in the gym is exactly how I was feeling in my life. It's like Crossfit decided to play a trick on me. Luckily, like most things in my life, I don't give up that easily. 

Last night, I finally got back into the gym with a positive attitude and PRed my 3RM hang clean/killed the workout. I found myself (no I'm not that crazy), talking to 'Crossfit' in the car ride on the way home. "Did you really just let me PR after practically 3 weeks off?! It's like a relationship you can't stop yourself from going back to. Ok...fine, I'm back into it" 

Crossfit (and your body) sometimes lets you be amazing, to PR, kill workouts, feel great. Sometimes it makes you feel slow and heavy, even angry. But one thing I can say, even with this bipolar personality, it is always there to challenge you, to remind you that life is not always exactly as you want it but it is exactly as you need it. 

OK fine...crossfit and life are related, linked, whatever. Positives outside of the gym equal inside the gym and vice versa. Oh Crossfit.
