SARAH GETS STRONG: A CROSSFIT/PALEO LOVE AFFAIR *

Recognizing accomplishments, no matter how small they may seem.

I mentioned this in last week’s post for Albany CrossFit.com and have recently experienced an example of my own.

As embarrassing as this is, yesterday was my first time climbing the 20 ft rope. I’ve been scared sh*tless since our first introducion (which was in, um… June 2009’s elements class) and I was certain that, if I did somehow make it to the top, I would probably have to stay there. Why?

Because, the only obvious route down is to fall. And, you know. Die.

…Really, Sarah?



Really. Thankfully, however, this unnecessary fear subsided and my climb subsequently took place (Thanks Kevin). Of course, once making it to the top, Caleb says “Don’t panic!” and, of course, it kind of made me want to. But I didn’t.

Thanks Caleb.

This, among other things, has really illustrated the reality of my training and has given me some perspective. I have an infinite list of movements and weights to master yet— because, this is CrossFit after-all— but, sometimes the easiest way of getting through it is knowing what you’ve already accomplished.

Plus I also enjoy getting my ass kicked once in a while.

Until next time.
