Usua...Renee, <BR/><BR/>Yeah, the frustration comes and goes. Usually it's a bad day or somesuch and I shrug it off. It's one bad day of many many good ones. This was just a perfect storm of crappy performance and mid-winter blues (Yeah, that dim light is a bitch!--Darryl, "The Office").TexasPatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17923439774636938685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934464180335899101.post-1739309559946593782009-01-29T20:19:00.000-08:002009-01-29T20:19:00.000-08:00i'm a little late to the post, TP...but i've also ...i'm a little late to the post, TP...but i've also just come to the realization that i'm in my own little world of crossfit aggravation. (i'll have a post up in a bit).<BR/><BR/>But I'm pretty sure it's a cyclical thing. 1) OMG i'm a beast, 2) i'm doing pretty well, 3) UGH, I SUCK!, 4) i'm doing pretty well: rinse, repeat. :)<BR/><BR/>it'll come back...(hopefully it'll come back for me once i recover from these stupid HSPUs)Renee Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05395384728095519178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934464180335899101.post-60553443097461982402009-01-29T15:09:00.001-08:002009-01-29T15:09:00.001-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471309394150263894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934464180335899101.post-935331152160000022009-01-29T15:09:00.000-08:002009-01-29T15:09:00.000-08:00Crap.

At those times I'm genius at finding all the things I don't like, the ways I suck, how I'm being done wrong, etc. <BR/><BR/>Yesterday was a perfect storm of tired, crabby, over reaching, under performing and getting picked on when i really wasn't in the mood. <BR/><BR/>Again, thanks for the perspective. That's all I need to maintain. I don't expect, at 43 to breath fire walking in the gym. This is a hobby that suits me and I normally enjoy. That's what's important that it brings some odd measure of joy to my life, not that I beat anyone or achieve any specific thing.TexasPatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17923439774636938685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934464180335899101.post-46061165023138658162009-01-28T11:19:00.000-08:002009-01-28T11:19:00.000-08:00Hang in there Patrick.Angry deadlifts may not have...Hang in there Patrick.<BR/><BR/>Angry deadlifts may not have been the smartest thing to do though. :-)<BR/><BR/>Go for a run or do something else physical that doesn't have goals or measures to remove that pressure. Move for the fun of it.<BR/><BR/>I know the frustration of being under-strong as Bingo puts it. Everyone says it's OK to work at your own level, but what you really want is for your level to be better then their level. :-) You have a place in CrossFit and while that place may not be as the winner of the CF games, it's a perfectly valid place for you.<BR/>Somedays we suck, other days we suck too, we just don't care about it.Craig Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428457582440589359noreply@blogger.com
