Sh*t CrossFitters say . . .

 

Never forget that life can only be nobly inspired and rightly lived if you take it bravely and gallantly, as a splendid adventure in which you are setting out into an unknown country, to meet many a joy, to find many a comrade, to win and lose many a battle.

Australia Day Team WOD

 

Weighted (and wriggling) pull-ups . . . Happy Birthday Little T!

 

As you go along your road in life, you will, if you aim high enough, also meet resistance . . . but not matter how tough the opposition may seem, have courage still - and persevere.

The history of the CrossFit Games . . .

 

So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we don't just sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we've satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late.

Two questions:  Where did this couch come from and can you name any of the adult films this couch has surely featured in?

 

You have to find it.  No one else can find it for you.

Have patience in all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself.  Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew.
