What a day! Definitely learned a lot and fueled my fire too! There's fitness and then there is Crossfit fitness. Crossfit is definitely a league of its own.
Been in Albany, GA this weekend watching a Crossfit competition. What a learning experience it has been. Not only do these athletes take fitness to another level but they take encouragement to another level. Not one person did the workouts today alone. Everyone had someone pushing, coaching, encouraging, uplifting them.
I very much in awe of this group that can accomplish these extreme workouts. After watching today I have a new level of respect for them. Some people call them crazy, I call it dedication. It takes dedication to do what these athletes do. Watching them today fueled my fire to be more dedicated to my workout, my fitness, and my health!
I have heard people refer to Crossfit as "cult" but in reality they are just one big family! :) I guess today taught me more about support and encouragement than anything else. Like I said earlier everyone had someone. What was so amazing and awesome to me was I looked up during one of the workouts and this girl was the last one left to finish the workout but she wasn't alone, she had a huge crowd surrounding her. Cheering her on, coaching her along, encouraging her, supporting her all the way to the end. That is more of a lesson to me than the proper way to dead lift or do a box jump. We could all learn something from this group!!
We all could and should be more like them. We should do more encouraging and uplifting than what we really do! We don't do enough of it. You know that I am right in this case. No I am not talking just to those of you that workout!! I am talking to everyone! We can use this in every aspect of life.
Be an encourager!!

I totally agree and have to tell you that this blog really hit home with me. I feel like I encourage people but know that I don't do it enough. I've had a lot of struggles of my own lately and I'll be the first to tell you that without friends I don't know where i would be right now! I personally want to thank you AGAIN for opening my eyes! You have helped me in more ways than you will ever know so.... THANK YOU!!!!
Bradley, I should say Thank You for reading my blog first of all. But most importantly we learn to encourage through our own struggles. Hang in there things will get better! Friends and family make all the difference in the world. Hope this week is awesome for you! :)
