"First, second, third, dead f-in' last." (on the motivating properties of keeping score)

If you don't keep score, you are just hurting yourself. Record, Record, Record...even if you aren't trying to beat anyone, you should try to beat yourself every time you go out and train! Trust me, if you do this, you will get stronger, faster, and better at what ever you are willing accomplish!

"Training for a fight by running twenty minutes everyday makes perfect sense if you plan on running away from your opponent and know you will be getting a ten minute headstart."

The longest I have run here is about 2 miles...and the only thing it has done for me is given me knee pain and ankle pain. As for the adaption to the altitude and the dry heat, the running as done nothing to help overcome that. You know what has...here's a shocker...CrossFit!

I will admit, I have never been much of a runner, and probably never will be, but CrossFit has given me the lungs to be able to run whatever distance I want...Of course I have never ran a marathon (I have ran a 1/2 though) and, don't ever really desire too, but hey, I'm sure I could!

We're designed to be hunters and we're in a society of shopping. There's nothing to kill anymore, there's nothing to fight, nothing to overcome, nothing to explore. In that societal emasculation this everyman is created.
~David Fincher, director of Fight Club, interview with Gavin Smith

What have we become? Do a favor to yourself, Kill some CrossFit WODs!!! Fight for more weight, faster times, and better health. Overcome the things in life that you physically thought you never could! Explore everything!

Everyday you train, do it like it is your last WOD ever...Trust me, in the end, you will thank me for it! Then, if you do well, go out and buy yourslef sometihng nice, like a Zone friendly dessert!
