WODing when you don’t want to WOD
“Health, happiness and success depend upon the fighting spirit of each person. The big thing is not what happens to us in life – but what we do about what happens to us.” ~ George Allen
Yesterday I took a moment to revisit a post detailing 65 of my favorite success quotes - the reason? Motivation. Inspiration. And quite frankly, I just needed something to give me that little nudge out the door. I’m not going to lie, I didn’t want to train yesterday. I was tired, irritable and feeling “blah”… all these feelings pointed me in one direction and confirmed that I “needed” to workout and relieve all the tensions from the day. So with that in mind, I read through the quotes, got psyched up and headed to CrossFit BC for the 4 o’clock class.
3 of my favorite inspirations
On the board today was the following
WOD: For Time
- 25 Handstand Push-ups
- 50 Toes-to-bar
- 200m Walking Lunge
- 75 Push Press 55/75
- 150 Double Unders
My time to complete was 18:51
Question: What do you do when you need that little extra push to do the things you know you ought to do?
