Dedicated to Army Sgt 1st Class Daniel Crabtree who was killed in Al Kut, Iraq on Thursday June 8th 2006.

Glad I went, I almost skipped it.  GNO last night.  It was tough, especially the pull-ups.  My hands ripped on the last 30.  They really hurt.  I put New Skin liquid band-aid on it- I think my neighbors heard me scream.  Holy cow that 10 seconds of burning was worse then the WOD.  It literally feels like some one is putting a cigar out on your palms.  Of course Dominick was almost on the floor laughing at me. ( I had to put it on him once and he didn't like it very much) Then my two little ones were trying to figure out what the heck was going on.  I showed Vincent my hands and then he thought it was cool.  He said he was going out to the garage to make his hands hurt too!  He did three ring pull-ups and then climbed the pole.  I love that my kids love the new bar and rings.  It will definitely get good use.  My friends think I am crazy.  They can't figure out why I would do something that would hurt my body like that.  CrossFit isn't for everyone, but it is for me!  As Kate was saying this morning- CF is an individual sport but also a group one, for support and encouragement, but also it is nice to know other people that love it too and not think you are crazy.  It's nice to have other people to relate to and suffer with!!!!

Goal today:  Keep my palms away from anything that will sting them!
