The whole package

Games were on again tonight. ESPN2 broadcasting the replays is like watching the Super Bowl for us. I went over a friend's from Xfit and she cooked a nice dinner for everyone. It was great to see everyone but listening to everyone talk about the competitions they're entering or the WOD they just did was hard. I feel like I've missed so much already.

If watching the Games will do nothing it will make you believe anything is possible. These are top-notch, world-class athletes but when you get to learn a little about who they are not all of them have been hardcore athletes all their lives. Some come from a tri background, or power lifting, or gymnastics -- but no one person can come from all those backgrounds. That's Xfit: adapting, capitalizing on your strengths, working on your weaknesses. Now that I'm paying close attention to the Xfit "names" it's interesting how no one person dominates every event, every time. Tonight I saw last year's women's champion struggle on the monkey bars and a woman who I hadn't noticed during last week's broadcast own those same bars. Even the best of the best have their weaknesses but they keep trying and keep working to be the whole package.

So I can get bummed about missing some time and feeling a little lost but I'm not going to. Every day something great can happen and my days are coming. I have a list of things I want to work on over this next year. If I hadn't been a witness to my own life and what I have achieved in the last year I'd think my goals are crazy. I know they aren't though. It's just a matter of time.
