So after attempting the Crossfit Open WOD 13.4 (3 clean and jerks 3 toes to bar, 6 clean and jerks 6 toes to bar, 9 C&J 9 T2B, 12 C&J 12 T2B, and so on..... going up in multiples of 3) I found my self sitting at 73 reps...Well if you know me I'm never happy with just an okay score. So I went in Sunday (Easter) after work and redid the WOD. The second time around I ended with 83 reps! That means I went up by ten reps!!! For those of you who read this and don't crossfit; that is a big deal in my little crossfit bubble. In other news I went to Palomar college to return a tent to my friend Ralph because I didn't want to drive all the way to Ramona to return it. Palomar was my old place of work and to my surprise I was embraced with the warmest greetings of hugs and hand shakes. It was nice to see people having compassion and actually remembering me. Thanks guys!
So today I went on a hike with a couple of friends out at Daley Ranch. It was nice and warm not to intense of a hike. It was honestly a very nice and peaceful hike. I can see myself doing that again sooner than later. A hike can be a great way to clear your head if you need it. I can only hope this week continues to be successful and I continue to keep smiling. In other news, I recieved an email about from someone who read my blog and likes how I talk about fitness/crossfit and would like to post it on her cancer blog. Seems a bit strange but I think it's cool that other people take the time to read what I am putting out there. On a side note, just because you think no one is paying attention that does not mean that they are not. They might just not have a response, or if they do it might not be for you to hear (at least to your face).
I went back recently through my previous blogs......man I have some insightful messages for myself. I also found a lot of grammatical errors (I really need to work on that). In my defense I type this as it flows out of my head and rarely proof read. In my previous blogs I dwelled on certain issues and sounded like an immature child. I'm not going to apologize for that because that is who I am. I guess outside of this blog you would have to know me, but I am not considered the emotional type. I do have a big heart and I do indeed where it on my sleeve. But in reality I rarley discuss my feelings with people except with the closest of friends and family who are all 3000 miles away. So this is where I vent my frustrations, concerns, and general angst. Even then I'm okay with that because a lot of my views are not only shared by me, I just might be the only person who discusses these feelings/views in a semi public forum (which also maybe a character flaw, to be that open). The reason I bring this all up is because when I went through my previous blogs I learned that even though I feel like I am going nowhere, I'm actually going forward with my life in a way I can look back on and be proud of. Not everything has turned out the way I'd like it to be, but it's turned out the way it is and I'm okay with that.
Signed sincerely me......Oh yea here is some feel-good music that I currently like
