New PR by 1:02!!!!

While i'm super stoked about my PR I can't help but think if I had not messed up like 5 time during my 40 round I would have at least done a minute better... Aaaaaand, this is not to talk shit buuuuuut I should not have jumped rope next to Viola, whom was frantically/spasmatically Double Undering, which really fucked up my "calm" that I need to get into a groove. I really had to concentrate on not absorbing his energy and tune him out. 

My sit ups were lightening fast. I know that Smidty started his 50 set about 5 seconds fast than I, yet I managed to finish about 5 seconds faster than he. I didn't take a calculated rest at this point and went straight into my 40 set of DUs, and failed several times. I then took a deep breath and told myself to relax. 

Rounds 30-20 and 10 were without incident. 

So I worked out 3 days in a row and I am so sore. My body is pretty beat down. I plan to take the next couple of days, probably go a back in on Sunday. 

I'm strangely calm. I got some very good "advice" and comfort from close friends. It has me refocused and serene about what I have to do. 

We're movin' on up! To the East side!

*Sidebar- In my adulthood, I have developed a very animalistic physical attraction to Bruce Lee. He is the ideal body type. Lean, cut, sinewy, not too big, but bulky in all the right places.*

Ingenius programming from Zeb on this rest day:

After the WOD yesterday that just completely demoralized me, I knew I had to bounce back today with all my heart. Not once, did I think, "I hate Wall-balls." I couldn't let poison enter my mind. Those are some high numbers; 60 wall balls to finish? 

After the warm up I loaded up my bar. I wanted to do 105, but it felt really heavy. So I backed down to 95#. Went into to the WOD feeling very competitive. I didn't have a time goal, but I knew I wanted to not bitch or moan or groan like I did yesterday. Just go hard and finish. 

I'm happy with my time, I'm happy with my pace of how I broke up the work.

4113 Redwood Avenue is Paradiso Crossfit's new home. It's providence that has brought the box to this moment. Growth was the facilitator but not the reason. The reason is something that hasn't happened yet. I truly believe that our box has a bigger purpose for existing and touching lives. As I run into the multiplying on-rampers that I don't know  by sight or name, I feel each one will contribute to the elevation of our box. I feel it. I believe it. 

(And I can't post the pictures I took. Phooey!) I guess I'll post from our grand opening WOD on July1.
