This little blurp is from CrossFit Fire.

The Clock. It is both my enemy and my friend. Some will live and die for the clock, but the clock can take NOTHING away from me. The clock will not make me shorten my range of motion. The clock will not make me count that last pull-up where my chin didn’t quite make it over the bar. The clock will not make my back round, and my knees cave just so I can make it stop.

I’m in charge of the clock. It stops when I say it stops.  That clock and me are friends, but I’M THE BOSS. When I call “time”, that clock stops for me. My time is written on the whiteboard next to my name and only I know if each rep counted. Only I know if I turned around a few feet early on my run. The clock matters, but integrity matters the most.

The clock tells me my progress, but it doesn’t define me. It doesn’t own me. It’s the other way around. I own that clock. Even when I’m on the 19^th burpee of the Filthy Fifty, it’s my job to make that clock stop ticking. It’s my job to do it right. It’s my job to make sure it counts.

Integrity...do you have it?

On Ramp with Adam!

Ohhh the marks of double unders!

Thursday, 09.02.10: Paleo or...

To eat paleo or not eat paleo, that is the question.

Many people get hung up on all the things you can't eat when you change your eating from large quantities of grain, dairy, supersizing, soda, fry it, more butter please, and add some salt to that before I even taste it kinds of food. But have you ever thought about the simplicity of food? I mean, do you really know what a vegetable should taste like? Or are you just used to the taste of salt and butter on everything that if there isn't enough of it on your food, you don't like it?

As the summer is ending and fall begins, we are getting a whole new bunch of fruits and veggies in season! Play around with these flavor combinations! Don't concentrate on, "Oh man, now when I go to the Big E I can't get the double bacon cheeseburger with donuts for bread." Think, "wow! Look at all the awesome food combinations I can do with apples!" (which you can pick yourself!)

I want to challenge all of you to try eating without salt for a month. It takes 28 days to break a habit. You'll be surprised at home much more you enjoy flavors once your pallet can adjust!

EVENTS

THIS SATURDAY at CrossFit Milford there is a Spartacus Challenge! It start promptly at 9:00, so get there early to warm up. It will go till about 10:00. Come compete with fellow CrossFitters and see what the hype is all about! Nothing brings out the best in a CrossFitter like a competition!

NEXT Saturday....Fight for Air. If you can't physically BE there, help out! A little bit goes a long way...any donation is greatly appreciated!

AFTER Fight for Air there will be a raging, off the chain, make your head spin, dancing, eating, drinking, and perhaps a little Rock Band, party at the Casa di O'Brien.

Constantly pushing each other...
