The End of 603PTP Round #1

Alright, my stint with this round of 603PTP is over. I am looking forward to doing it again with weighted pull-ups and front squats next time. Like I did with the Shoulder Press, I thought I’d give a picture of the journey I have been on starting 4 years ago with CrossFit Main Site WODs.

*Quick note: I took a break from most weight-based workout programs between 2009-2011 to focus on running.

Workout 1/13/2012: 603PTP Day30

Have you ever set a goal and failed to meet that goal; in fact, you may have gone in the total opposite direction?

Have you ever been so excited to do something planned, and then something comes up that prevents you from doing it?

Have you ever wanted to start something meaningful and worthwhile by a certain time only to have that date fly past and you haven't begun it?

Take those three disappointments, add them together, and that's how I am feeling right now. My goal of losing weight by December 31st...FAILED...I gained 7 pounds instead. My excitement to do a max effort 400m run...BUSTED...by roads and sidewalks covered in slippery snow. My hope to start eating according to P90X day after I turned 35...PAST & NOT STARTED.

But there is good news. It is never too late to...
Set a new goal...
Make up the lost workout when things improve...
and Start something new.
