Is it all Mental Toughness?

The most of this week I haven't checked the website to see what wonderful torture would be offered up to us from our wonderful trainers at Crossfit in Common. This morning I did peek and that gave me time (3 hours) to dread the torture I was going to submit my body to at NOON yes high NOON with temperatures pushing 100 degrees F. I am not a quitter. I am sometimes a whiner. I am always trying my hardest. Sometimes you just can't quite make your body do what your mind is telling it to do. Sometimes there is a physical limit. I was close to it today, and the rest of the day has been Fay at about half speed. We walked down to the 200M mark in the park and checked out the shade for doing our burpees. The mosquitoes were hanging out, and immediately attacked - I HATE, I HATE, I HATE mosquitoes. I thought for a few minutes and then decided to sacrifice and do an extra 400M run to get DEET. In retrospect, I should have just let the buggers bite me. I didn't need that extra 400M, it certainly didn't help my time for the WOD. Now I know to be prepared ahead of time...and plan accordingly. I really am impressed with everyone who showed up to do the WOD today, it was tough everyone knew it would be tough but they did it anyways! YEAH YOU!
