* big ol' piece of humble pie is what I call this one. Stacey was by my side for this whole WOD, pushing me. After 3 rounds he had me switch to push-ups from the knees saying my shoulder was getting out of position. Honesty I was embarrassed on two levels. 1) I used to do 14 rounds of Cindy in 20 minutes RX and 2) here I was a coach and having done CrossFit since 2008 having to do push-ups from my knees in front of a class. But what I have to remember is that I'm a different athlete now. Stacey has pushed me to put form above all else. That a yr ago my kips were wild, compromising an already torn rotator cuff. I was doing push-ups with a wide setup which stressed my shoulder and made my shoulder imbalance worse. There is no last yr to compare to. Just need to focus on where I am now, where I want to go, and how I'll get there.
A newer member of our gym came up to me after (Nelson) and said "Kicking butt over there?". My response, "more like getting my butt kicked." Nelson, "Hey whatever it takes to get better."
Ummm hell ya! Much better attitude. Time to remember to check my ego at the door and enjoy my pie.
