Finding your motivation to get to the gym can be difficult sometimes--especially when it's a Rest Day. I once took a 3 month "sabbatical" from CrossFit because I started summer school and then the excuses piled on. It's great to have a work out buddy, keep an online Blog or write down your work outs to keep you going. That way, you won't have excuses if you schedule a work out with a friend, have online readers waiting to compare their stats to yours or have blank pages staring at you.
If these don't help, you can always watch one of these motivating videos. I know they sure get Trainer Dustin going...
DUDE! I looked HELLA GOOD running after that deer, huh? ;)

yes Sakura you are very fast that poor dear did not stand a chance! I had to watch these videos before yesterday's WOD because I was feeling blaa and I knew it was going to be a slug fest! Had some of the morning class (Jeff, Jerome, Fabio) do the PT Assessment (great job by all) and turned Stacie into a woman (3 Rounds for time of 5 "woman makers", 10 situps, 250 Meter row)

Sakura- you are hella fast! Are you bringing that deer to dinner?

I'm motivated...I swear!! :) Lucky me, I caught a killer cold last week. :( I hope I'm better by Thanksgiving...sounds fun. If not, Happy Thanksgiving to all! Now send me some "get-better-soon" vibes!! :)

Get better soon vibes...not sure about the vibes but I'm sure we can make up a "get better soon" WOD. Muahahaha! JK.
Hope you feel better. #[ I won't see you until Friday if you swing by the gym. We're going to the AZ.
p.s. Sorry I didn't bring the venison to dinner, Lo. I didn't have time to skin it, clean it, gut it, etc. But I bet that bat you found this evening wouldn't have taken long! Heck! I could have just popped it on a stick and roasted it over your range...5 minutes and we woulda had raosted bat! ;) I hear they're a decent source of protein.
