Gymnastics is awesome

But dude... what did I get myself into? It's different out there in the world of gymnastics. Just the other day when my coach was stretching me, she pushed me close to the farthest over split I've been in before. I was trying not to cry and she said, "Oh Oh Life is so hard.... In America!" Can you imagine! So I was in this world and I didn't even know it. My coaches are the same coaches that create Regional Champions and can get people to the National Team. In a way, I'm proud, but then I think that I have nothing to boast about... nothing. Well maybe my level 6 State bar champion means something, but my score was a 9.00, so there were at least ten mistakes in that short routine and California competition means nothing.


So with my humble resume I'm thrown into a world that is nothing like normal people. I'm at a point where I can either push through to perfection or stop. Quitting has never crossed my mind until this point when I realize it's so much more than I expected. But I want to tell you people out there that I didn't work in the little San Luis CrossFit gym for nothing. I worked there for whole month with no knowledge of this gym or these coaches. My only motivation was a little hope, a little fire that kept telling me to do what I loved to do. So I kept working with that vision in my mind of level 9. Where do I want to go? is what I kept asking myself over and over again when I was standing on my hands five minutes a day and doing CrossFit. So no matter how intimidating this certain way of life may be, it's what I love to do and I know I worked to get here. I will keep working. Sweat Blood Tears, whatever it takes to get where I want to go.


My Lord gave me the strength to get this far. I know I can go farther.

I apologize for the spread out posting, I've been busy in the gym, doing homework, sleeping and eating alot lately. I've got a very routine life, but exciting. Mark my words.
I got an article published in the CrossFit Kids Journal this month. That was pretty exciting. I think I'll post it up a little later. ~


Here's a video my coach showed the team one time. Amazing.
