Walking into Glass Doors

What do you mean I have to do burpees?

Yesterday morning, Su, Miguel, Eric and I had the opportunity to witness our four-legged student “Katy” do some advanced dog algorithms and deduce that because you can see through glass doors – that inevitably means that you can run through them as well. There was nothing like the thud, subsequent yelp and disheartened walk back into our office to let us know of a gross miscalculation on her part! Hopefully Katy has learned that full speed + closed door = a sore nose. However, this begs a great question – how many glass doors are we as CrossFitters continually walking into? How many sore noses do we have to wake up with before realizing that eating a ridiculously delicious bowl of Ben & Jerry’s at midnight does not lend itself to a good 6 a.m. workout. How many workouts do we have to miss with a sore back after honestly knowing that our form was falling apart when using 225 pounds but allowing our ego to send us full speed into the glass door that was 250 pounds? Remember, pain is the penalty for violating the principles of nature.

If you’ve been thinking about making a change in your life and feel that fitness is an important step in that process, drop up us a line here in Santa Barbara and allow us to open a few doors for you.
