‘TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS ….

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Box
Not a creature was stirring, not even Buddy;
The plates were all stacked by the barbells with care,
In hopes that CrossFitters soon would be there;
The Athletes were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of vegetables danced in their heads;
And mauree in herLulu Lemon leggings, and I in my beanie,
Had just downloaded workout songs, mostly bad rap,
When out in the lot there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the desk to see what was the matter.
Away to the bay door I flew like a flash,
I opened the lock and pulled it up fast.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a Big Bob push-sled stacked with plates to your ears,
With a rugged old power lifter, lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. (or maybe just Nick Hoggan)
Stronger than Ron Coleman and twice as great,
He whistled, and shouted, and called out “Light Weight!”;
From the top of the driveway! to the end of the street!
He pushed that sled around with lightning quick feet!”
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So out to the Interstate throwing sparks out the back,
With the sled stacked so heavy the roadway had cracked.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
I saw piles of new equipment spread over the ground.
And I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
“Merry CrossFit to All and to All a
Good Night!”

DAILY MINDSET

“Death is one prophecy that hasn’t failed.”

~Edmund Wilson

Have you ever been asked, “What would you do if you only had a week to live?”

Few things will snap us to attention like the thought of a terminal illness. The question leaves us considering how different our lives would be if we only had days to live.

But the morbid truth, is that we all have a terminal death sentence. It won’t be a matter of if, but when. Let’s not let a day go by, where we allow this thought to wash away to ignorance. We get one shot… let’s make it count.
