Says Who

Over the last few months you have all seen me preparing for my competition in Albany this weekend. “Why are you doing this?” is the question I get from most people when they see me walking around with ice packs, limping out of the massage rooms, or stumbling for the hot tub. I usually deflect the question with some sort of joke. I didn’t have the right words to explain myself. That has changed.

The article I have attached here was sent to me by one of my clients. It is from the CrossFit Journal and is entitled "Beyond the Body". She paid me the greatest compliment when she said that it reminder her of everything I have been teaching her. I read the article and it suddenly occurred to me what my answer is to the question “Why are you doing this”.

I am doing this because no one ever told me I couldn’t – or if they did I ignored them.

The next time you say “I can’t"...I will say “Says Who?”
