WOD Thu Feb 20 @ CrossFit Markham

Last night, I had the chance to hang out with some men from my small group. We went to CrossFit Markham for a fun workout then had some wings down the street. Here's what we did last night:

Warm-up
Row 1200 m

Skill work
Chest-to-bar pull-ups

Met-con
3 rounds of
3 min AMRAP: 6 alt jumping lunges, 9 deadlifts (185#), 6 pull-ups
2 min rest
(Score: 8 rounds + 4 reps)

Here's a good article by James Clear about the lessons you can learn from a stained glass artist. He talks about making incremental changes. I love his closing paragraphs:
Of course, change isn’t easy — no matter how you do it. Slow gains are boring. They’re unsexy. Nobody writes news stories about them. But moving forward in a slow and methodical manner doesn’t mean you lack ambition, drive, or vision. The stained glass artist has a very clear vision. He knows exactly what he is working toward.
You and I can do the same. If we keep making small improvements, then pretty soon we will end up with a beautiful masterpiece on our hands instead of a bunch of fragments.
This morning, I came across a cool article on our identity and career. Two key points for me are:
  • We're not defined by our jobs. We're defined by our love.
  • We should let our identity define how we work, play, etc. We should not let our career define our identity.
I'll close with a passage I read this morning: Psalm 46. This is a powerful passage filled with assurance when times get tough or life just gets overwhelming. May it encourage you as it has encouraged me.
