Crashing my shin AGAIN on the box, somewhere around half-way through was frustrating, painful, and BITTER!

Setting a personal best record by completing the Push Press with 75 Pounds was SWEET!

I was on my set of 4’s when the next to last person finished. Completing the PUSH PRESS was the hardest part of the WOD. I told myself if I had to stay for another hour, so be it, “I am going to finish this WOD!”

Seventy-five pounds was so hard, but focusing on my technique and encouragement from classmates helped me finish.  Lord! Thank you for my strong legs and for my determination to not give up. Afterwards I did the math… 10 + 9 + 8…..  equals 55!  Yikes.  I am so glad that “10 – 1”  was written on the board and not 55 reps.  It really is all mental.

The key is to avoid counting yourself out.  At the very moment you want to quit, stop the negative thoughts and coax yourself along.  Be mindful of your personal goals and focus, and tell yourself that you can do it.  It works for me.

My calves are still sore from Monday’s leg workout, so a soothing bubble bath is in order. Look at this shin! LOL!

Sweet dreams!
