I will be chronicling my gym or "box" experiences as best I can. Hopefully my stories will find other older Crossfitters or those thinking of trying Crossfit.

A Master Athlete's Advice. Inspiring and True!
"Show up and run your own race. You can’t do anything about other participants. There will always be gifted, hard-working athletes posting amazing performances in the Open. Let yourself be humbled. Then let these athletes inspire you to get out there and do your best."

Also:
I am grateful everyday that I am able to get up off my behind and go do something I love. Showing more gratitude openly surely couldn't hurt.
" Express gratitude. Humans don’t fare well in isolation. We require experienced teachers and coaches to guide us in skill acquisition. We benefit from belonging to families and communities made of people sharing similar values and committed to supporting each other.
