Who are you? What do you do? It’s not a simple question if you answer it honestly. Yes, I’m a pharmacist, but I shutter at the notion of introducing myself as that. That’s not my true self. That’s just an exterior. My “busy self”.
My true self is someone I now meet on a daily basis. She’s not pretty, but she defines me.
To be honest, I’m easily scared, easily intimidated, and yes, that excited/nervous dance pre-wod? Often that’s my last attempt to control fight of flight before 3.2.1-GO.
I’ll never forget the first barbell wod I ever completed RX. I met my true self face to face that morning. The weight was very heavy for me and I felt as though I’d never get thru the workout alive (or at least within 60 minutes). I wasn’t sure if she and I could (or even wanted) to keep going… feeling that dark inner struggle… but somehow me-and-my-true-self pulled thru to finish the task at hand.
I now crave that raw feeling. Pushing myself. Pushing others…reveling in what we’ve just accomplished.
That’s my true self. Thank God I found her.
WOD: Row / KBS / WB / Situps
