"Weekly Warrior Page" - Week of July 11th

If you haven't noticed, crossfit thrives on personal accomplishments and pushing yourself beyond what you believe you can do at times (or should I say MOST of the time). Personally, I have been a gym rat most of my life...you know, going around in circles on an eliptical machine or spin bike then working bi's and tri's one day then quads and hams the next, etc. You get the picture. I'd walk out the gym doors thinking "I did my workout, so good for me". I had sweat on my brow so I was good to go. No real goals or much of a desire to find that inner competitor. Just 'A WORKOUT'. So after being part of crossfit, as many of you know, you begin to develop those 'proud moments'...such as "Man, I deadlifted 20 more pounds than last time!" Or "Wow I can't believe I finished that WOD under 8 minutes!" Many times we want to shout it out but don't...so here's your chance!!!

I figured why not post a WEEKLY blog where CLF crossfitters can just out right brag about something great that they did this week? Be proud of your moments and share them with the CLF community weekly on this blog. Be on the lookout for the post by the end of each week! The only rule is try to choose JUST ONE moment that you really shined on! I'd really like as many people as possible to comment so to get things rolling, I'll start. See how I posted my comment below and then follow my lead!!! I'm excited to see what crossfit moment you're most proud of this past week!!! Rock on!!!

Results of a Fight Gone Bad!

A Few Definitions of Fight:
1. to put forth a determined effort
2. to contend against in or as if in battle or physical combat
3. to attempt to prevent the success or effectiveness of
4. wage, carry on
5. to take part in
6. to struggle to endure or surmount
7. to gain by struggle
8. to resolve by struggle

What a day! Those of you that visited the box today took a beating; heat and all! And it was a fight that went bad! If you read the definition/s above ask yourself if you lived up to its meaning! From what we saw, I'd say you all fought the fight and it definitely fought back! (Above are just a few of it's victims! :) Way to go everyone! Give yourselves a pat on the back for your hard work! And if you missed it, don't worry! You just never know when FGB is going to pop up it's ugly little head again! ;)
