Wednesday 2/15/17
Today was a good day for me at the gym. I let myself get punched in the face. It was a 3 minute AMRAP of 3 cleans, 6 push ups and 9 air squats x5. The RX weight was 95 pounds. That was too heavy for me, so I did 83 pounds. 83 pounds was hard for me and I failed a bunch of reps. But instead of going down in weight and worrying about the number of rounds I completed or what everyone else was doing, I let myself feel uncomfortable. I let myself fail. There were a bunch of reps that I made too and when I did, I felt really good!
I’m sure a lot of people, maybe most people, do this all the time. But for me, today felt really good. Not because I was a Craic rock star, but because I let myself try. I didn’t decide what I could do before even trying it…if that makes sense??
After the workout Marc told me that today I had to work for every lift and that was a better workout (physically and mentally) than playing it safe with a weight I was more comfortable with. This was big for me.
So today, I left the gym happy and feeling good about myself. Yesterday I left hating the place….And so goes a typical week at Craic! Love/Hate…depends on the day 😉 ❤
