I'll bet it resonated with a lot of folks. I have come into the gym on certain dark days thinking "I really don't want to be here." But dammit once you are there, you've gotta be there. I have muddled my way through some WODs wondering why I came in, but like you, in the end, I am glad I did at least something instead of nothing. Those "I don't wanna" days used to be the days I allowed myself to ease into quitting exercise altogether. One valuable thing I have learned from CFA is to take the long view. When I have a low energy or bad mood WOD, it is what it is and I know there will be a WOD in my future that will be fun and high energy. So, thanks for sharing your experience. Good for you.

I must have got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I made the drive in but then when I got to the gym I didn't want to do anything. I told Corey I needed an attitude adjustment. I didn't even want to do the front squats and that is not like me. I figured I would just try to keep up with Brian. Then I thought maybe I could just opt out of the WOD. No doing. Shanna called me out and told me "You can't cherry pick you work-outs." Shanna is the coach and I trust her so I did the WOD. I'm so grateful for a coach who pushes me like Shanna. I hope I did not give her too hard a time today. I didn't want to put up my numbers but I was there and I did it so 19:?? 45/26 and Front squat 135 X5. On the bright side, I got to work my flat footed jump rope jumps which inches me closer to my 2010 goals. Thanks Corey & Shanna!
