They are fucking winning at life right now! I know that a year out is not a feasible goal to make it to the games, but I stand by my goal to make it to regionals. I am considering turning my garage into a gym when I get home. Trying to make a list of the items I will need and placing some of the money I have earned into savings for that reason. In the same video Khalipa was talking about how Rich had come to visit and they had worked out like 3 times that day, just had dinner with their wives and then he heard his garage door open and when he went to go check it out, there was Rich doing front squats. I know Rich is on the verge of being super human but he is committed. I admire that trait. Instead of doing things that are destructive or counter productive he works out, he does that and still makes time for other activities he enjoys like mountain biking.
I have goals, they have been eating me alive...so many things I want to do and complete. I apologize if the next few sentences are run ons or verbal diarrhea, but I need them out of my head and on paperish. I want to get my EMT and later paramedic, make it to regionals, rock climb, learn Italian, travel to Italy, see my family more, read more books, write down more thoughts, have intellectual conversations, visit my people, workout at Sam, Annie, and Mikko's gyms. Hahah. I feel like coming back from this deployment things are wide open and I might not have all the answers but I have some...I met some good dudes here that have taught me some invaluable lessons about living life, things that were internally in their infancy and after meeting these guys have grown with their help. I want to live a life that is less stressful and definitely less dramatic (unless its my dramatic finish at NW Regionals 2014 where I take third place).
I feel my crossfit focus moving away from aesthetics and towards performance and it makes me happy and free.
