It never ceases to amaze me how CrossFit can affect my mood. I rarely regret doing a WOD. When I’m in a bad mood it turns the volume down on my problems. My good mood is amplified when I make a PR. Even when I get my ass kicked, it reminds me not to be too cocky and that I can always improve. I had one of those great days yesterday when I finally was able to perform an overhead squat pain free! Never give up. Keep working hard. Inspire yourself…
