I was going to spam your FB with pictures all week if you hadn't posted here.Nekkid selfies? Bc I already leaked those on the interwebs. Google "cute, funny cats" and you'll see them*snort* fine. What have I been doing?Muay Thai!!!!!! SQUEEEEEE Lots of head kicks the past couple of weeks, including hiding the head kick...awesome. That class ended w four rounds of sparring, including me w a very senior, very strong partner. Serious face punching. We also had a class on skater's punch. Awesome. I loved that and it feels really good for me. Great combo. Senior partner. Got in the car aft and spousal unit said "you look like you are from the Walking Dead". Ha ha. Yeah you do a 45 min WOD and finish w 3 mins of planks crossfit boy. I also decided to got back to boxing more regularly. I love it and love the coach. Except he makes me jump rope. My knees actually did not die. I'll prob stick w some boxing for a while.Otherwise, I lift. Saw coach a couple times recently. Had to lift in front of a former olympic athlete (not a weightlifter) which was nerve wracking but coach thought it was great. He was all smiles bc he loves the other guy. Whatever. It was weird. Luckily, it was short sets at 280 so I looked good and they were easy. Pulled 300 5 times yesterday, put 108 up several times OHP... I don't know. Just average stuff. OHP still sucks.Just stuff. Nothing special. Quote I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance.

cline Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Spelunking is like cooler hiking.It is. Totally cooler. And comes with a much higher risk factor. Although there are mountain lions active here...they don't hang in the caves. But bats do.Caving was fun. I had to wear a hardhat and we had to have flashlights. A lot of hard scrambling and some climbing too. Ripped my sneaker on a rock (my innov8... Boo). But better than ripping my body...lol. Several caves. Turned lights out at one point. You cannot see your own hands. Ever. There is zero natural light. Creepy. Oh and we were often the only people there. Topped it off with a outn4 mi hiking, including to a site for vision quests. But yeah, caving definitely ups the cool factor. Scrambling and climbing w a flashlight is tough. Quote I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance.

AlexCold Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 http://whole9life.com/2012/10/lies-we-tell-ourselves/ I can't decide whether I agree with this article or not. Sure there are people who take it past the point of being a goal to the point of being a need. But that's very subjective. Sure some people want the drama, but reading this article I guess I'm an obsessed stress addict.

They can't see it, they think they like it, they claim to thrive on it.Not good. And then they break. Hard. Taking a break prevents that other kinda break. I like where the article is going, although they might lose some folks in being so disparaging about folks' outward manifestations of obsession/motivation/whatever. Because it won't be obviously dangerous until it's too late. Sometimes people push through one rough thing but not another. So yeah, it's subjective, but it's also subtle.

jstanlick Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 It's subtle because its hard to see when you're in the middle of it. It's a fine line between dedication and obsession. We usually don't see it when we step over it. It doesn't become apparent until you're miles past it. From a work perspective I've been on both sides of that line multiple times, and I haven't noticed I'd crossed the line until my physical health and/or my personal relationships were suffering. It takes a very long time to feel like you've got everything back to normal and then you start getting slowly sucked in again. It can very much be an addiction if you let it. Maybe not as apparent as the alcoholic or drug user, but an addiction nonetheless.
