Barry comes up out of the bottom while Becky watches.
Excuses. We all make them.
“I’m not built for squatting.”
“I’m too heavy to do a pull-up.”
“I’m not coordinated enough for double-unders.”
It’s all bull****.
If you want something, go and get it.
Figure out what you have to do in order to do the things you want to do, in order to live the life you want to live.
Stop blaming anybody or anything but your own spirit for what you don’t have.
Because if you don’t have what you want, it’s because you don’t want it badly enough and you haven’t done the work to get it.
Imagine how glorious life could be if you achieved all the things you really wanted.
You can either make excuses or you can make it happen.
Choose.

Whooooot for the peeps going to Albany, I know you all want to have fun and reach your personal goals this weekend….. Keep positive thoughts as we head up there. I’m crazy ape shit proud of all your hard work over the past month! I’m just sorry I don’t get to be in the mix and kick ass with you all!
We’ve also got a kick as cheering gang going up…….party! Look out CFW kilts will be coming off!

Just one thing to remember in Albany, please: Those folks on “Cops” always have their shirts off. Really. That’s a good thing. No CFW shirts in mug shots, okay? Promise?
September 8th, 2010 at 11:59 am
You KNOW wod #1 the shirt comes off!!! But we’ll be sure there’s a big CFW painted on the bodies. Sooo looking forward to this weekend I only wish every single member of CFW could compete, They’re all worthy athletes.

An episode of “Cops” could be my 5 minutes of fame…..just saying…
September 8th, 2010 at 1:01 pm
I can just see Rockstar now, trying to explain that the stuff wasn’t hers, she was just holding it for a friend…
September 8th, 2010 at 1:07 pm
I can see Jen explaining to the cops that her top just “flew” off in the breeze and that’s why she was running topless down Western Ave. I’m stoked for Albany!!!! (but not because of the topless thing).

Great post Lisbeth–always love reading your stuff…keep it comin’!

What happens in Albany stays in Albany. Disrobing fully is preferable to adjudication in clothing with the CFW logo. So, when the cops come, get nekkid!
(I’ll be Fairfield at the CrossFit Football Cert, with all my clothing on.)

Can I judge with my shirt off? I got a situation going on and I want to show it off.
September 8th, 2010 at 4:10 pm
@Mike, not sure if judging in the birthday shirt is allowed, it could potentially be a trend setting moment
September 8th, 2010 at 4:10 pm
I’m bringing an Entourage to the event! B-Smith, Metro Mark, and my heavy lifter J-Bird. Watch out for this crew we are going to stir it up in Albany.
@ Mikey, it’s T-shirt time!!!
@ Lis, all press is good press. I hope CFW can keep its certification after we all hit Albany.

@Brian/Ramstein and Joe: Thanks!

An entire day and NOBODY mentioned Becky’s buttocks? People, you are slipping! Where do you think the quarter is?
Please, competition and higher thinking and shirtless talk is all good, but remember we’re an a** culture in CrossFit! Fly the a** flag, CrossFit Watertown, fly the a** flag!
September 9th, 2010 at 6:10 am
Lis – thank you for noticing – and that posture!
September 9th, 2010 at 8:20 am
Nice butt Becky! You must take after Ray-Ray!!
September 9th, 2010 at 9:20 am
Berry, nice back squat form. & nice ass too.
September 9th, 2010 at 10:09 am
Not sure that people wanted to comment on Becky’s calipygiousness because she’s standing so close to Beery.
