Notes
Teams of four. This is a chipper workout. All four athletes perform the entire workout. Athletes begin behind the line. At Go, the first athlete enters and completes the Row. When that athlete has completed the row, they move on to Burpees, and the second athlete may begin the Row. This pattern continues, in order, through all of the movement. No athlete can begin their next station until the athlete ahead of them is clear from that station. The athlete in front does not have to wait for anyone behind. A team’s result is the total time for all 4 members to go through the workout. There is a 20-minute time cap. If a team cannot finish in the time cap, their result is the time cap plus a one second penalty for each rep not completed.

So last night marked 4 weeks into our Bash Your Procrastinator's Journey - we are still hanging in with 12 athletes and they are making remarkable strides towards their nutrition and fitness goals. Every single athlete make improvements in their 1 min push up test and their box squat test.
There was some awesome weight and inches lost for all of these athletes....I can't wait for this next month to come through as we push it to the next level. In all these athletes lost 40.8 pounds and 41 3/8 inches...in just 30 days. Please make sure you let them know we are supporting them. Rumor has it some of them are planning on hanging out at CFM and doing the Murph WOD....this is going to be awesome.

Today we will celebrate Danny's 22nd Birthday. Danny has been in training and was unable to make it on his actual birthday which was May 16th. Danny has requested a very special birthday workout that is fitting in many ways. Danny is training to be a firefighter.....and he would like us all to do the "Chief" for his birthday WOD.
Danny, you have made many changes since you've been to the gym and we look forward to seeing you in the WOD's that you are able to make it into. Jim and I wish you the happiest CrossFit Birthday EVER even though it's a week overdue. Happy happy birthday to you!!!

When Failing is Fun:
One of the most common reasons why people don’t set goals is because they are scared of failing. However, this fear of failure, and failure itself, should be embraced rather than rejected. “Failing” is actually a really positive thing in setting and achieving your goals. Here are three helpful things to remind yourself of when you sit down to set goals:
1) Fear is an indicator that we are doing something remarkable.
Stepping out of our comfort zone means we are stretching ourselves; we are going after something we really want or something that will really impact our life. Focusing solely on the fear distracts us from the remarkable results our goals will bring about. Use that fear as a motivator rather than a detractor.
2) Failing sometimes takes you off a path you never really wanted to be on.
Sometimes we set goals towards things we don’t really want. Not achieving that goal allows us to evaluate what we were going towards, or how we were going about getting there. It could be the end goal that needs tweeking, or it could be the approach we were taking to tackle that goal.
3) Setting a goal and falling short, is still better than not trying at all.
Your life without goals will remain pretty static over time. Setting an inspiring goal will immediately set you on a path of trial and error towards something great. Bumps along the way are to be expected, so just keep holding on! When it comes time to look back and see what you’ve accomplished, you’ll be astounded to see how far you’ve come – whether you fell short of your goal or surpassed it by a mile.
