I thought all the ladies out there could use some yummy eye candy this morning –especially those in Northern VA who are ‘enjoying’ the rain. This cloudy day made it very tough for me to get up out of bed –  not going to lie. My old friend, the sleep monster, almost talked me right out of getting up but ah, ha! I am way stronger than he is at this point.

I know I sound like a broken record but I am sore — my shoulders are not happy with me. I think it has to do with all those pull ups we did on Monday with the CrossFit Lady – Cindy. I love workouts like that — but they leave their mark.  So today’s Overhead squat was not necessarily a welcome sight.

Coach Conan asked us a question this week —

How many folks actually look at the WOD the night before?  Does it determine whether you show up?  Be honest…do you shy away from the one’s that attack your weaknesses?  There’s no shame in it. We all have done it. But we DO know what’s best.  Attack the WOD with fearless abandon!

If you do CrossFit –what is your answer? I prefer to leave the element of unknown in my workouts and I generally do not look at the workout before I get there. I figure I am going to get through it no matter what it is –so I am prepared for whatever I am being asked to do.  But thats just me …
