SILVER LINING.

Kjersti and Su doing some post workout addition.

Being a giant CrossFit geek, I like to start my day by reading some of the other blogs written by other CF Affiliates.  Recently there was a passionate discourse on a site regarding the intensity and variety of their workouts.  This got me thinking to a conversation that I had with the great Cill Adams, one of the early Santa Cruz crew and also one of my favorite coaches in the whole wide world.  Cill told me that often times Coach Glassman would simply talk to his athletes if they’d worked out for 3 or 4 days in a row.  That was their WOD – to sit there and listen.  As hard as we push and as challenging as the workouts often are here, there is a tremendous amount that can be learned on days when you don’t end up crawling out the door.  Mark your daily success not on how beat up you feel at the end – but how much you’ve learned that day. Be it about technique, the mental or emotional approach to a workout, breathing patterns, hand position, body position, anything at all.  Every workout is an opportunity to learn something new about fitness or more importantly about yourself and your approach to your own fitness.  Learning = almost as awesome as deadlifts.  Fact.
