WOD:
“The gap between what you are and what you want to be is only as large or small as your commitment. ”
“But the I was dedicated in so many other ways, too… getting to sleep earlier, not cheating on my diet, drinking water as opposed to other beverages. There’s a lot of different things that go into that word dedication and discipline.” – Pat Downey
A lot of people talk about commitment and dedication and it is always one-dimensional. People want to get healthy and say they are committed to going to the gym X  amount of times a week. But being healthy is more than going to the gym it is getting rest, eating the right things, and doing the right things when you are not in the gym. I feel like F3 get’s it you come bc you want to be healthier but not only does it challenge you physically but mentally and spiritually. You gain men that call you out when you are slacking and will help you stay committed to the right things.

Memorial Day convergence at the Dame


Moleskin
An hour beatdown of nothing but Mary was not the best idea after a storm. We got to splash around making sweat ankles and Australian Snow Angels. Our tailbone and cheeks were sore from the ground.
Quote of the day came when we did low planks to my side Doodles just states “Wish I had longer gloves” at that moment we lost it. Thanks for that memorable moment Doodles.
Honorable mentions was “Dude I’m squishing” which I think we all were. We were pretty much a human sponge soaking up all the water from that parking lot.

WOD: Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given, than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing. – Muhammad Ali
Go out and try new things.

All the HIM traveling this Labor Day weekend
WOD: Was going to go with a football quote but saw a tweet that really caught my eye. It was from a man that won an Olympic Gold Medal in wrestling back in 1984 in LA.
“I know God exists. I’ve had too many miracles in my life to deny it” – Mark Schultz
We go through life wondering if God still does miracles and the answer is yes. There are many miracles around us but we live in a fast pace world that we don’t take the time to realize them. Us waking up every morning is a miracle. Growing up and reaching where we are at this moment is a miracle. God works in our lives leading us to where we need to be and meeting the people that will help us reach our goals.
Lastly the reason this tweet caught my eye is that life will throw some pretty bad stuff your way and you have to look at the tiny miracles to get you through the day. Mark lost his older brother when the man who created Foxcatcher murdered his brother. So i can only imagine what it took for Mark to get through that.
