7/16 Ultimate

Another great game. Our team is really starting to come together. I felt good running. I think it helped that it was overcast and cooling off instead of sunny hot and humid like it had been all day long. Drinking lost of water before and during probably helped too. My ankles are a little sore, but less than last time.

After the game I got to thinking about training. Everyone has a different reason for training, but I think eventually it's important to do something with it. Whether it's a 5K, powerlifting meet, or church softball league taking that hard work from training and focusing it on something is very rewarding. There's nothing wrong with training for trainings sake, I just think you're missing out if you don't take your newfound strength and apply it to something.

PT, I think that you make a good point. What's the use of being in shape if you never use it? I think seeing as how CrossFit is functional fitness, we do use some of our fitness throughout the day, we just don't stop to think about it. I have noticed myself at the restaurant deadlifting things, or doing certain exercises a lot, but I don't always think that that's what I'm doing. I do the farmer's walk with ice up the stairs to the ice bin, push presses with trays, deadlifts, strict presses... I do use it a lot. I just don't always stop to think about it.
