You have to start somewhere.
Nobody begins life with a muscle-up.
Nobody was born with pull-ups.
Nobody deadlifted 500lbs as a newborn.
So, stop thinking about what you can’t do right now and start focusing on what you could accomplish — in CrossFit and in life.
No successful person was born a success. They made themselves that way, through effort and practice and perseverance.
Even if they were born with what some might consider advantages of genetics or economics, they still had to work at it.
Nothing comes easy in this life . . . at least nothing good does.
So start where ever you have to start. But resolve to finish where you want to finish.

nice job Val but I though mum was gonna drag you through 10K?
She was trying but I said no. Didnt have time to train. Last time I did a 10k with no training, my knees were very mad at me and I could barely walk for 1 day!
Congratulations Val! Great time! Sounds like its in your genes
Loved this and NEEDED to read this, especially this part:
“So, stop thinking about what you can’t do right now and start focusing on what you could accomplish — in CrossFit and in life”
Legs for Literacy 5K = 44:16 (chip time).
Not where I wanted to be, not my best time, but not my worst, either. It’s a place to begin (again), because I’ve not done a lot of running for quite some time.
congrats Robyn, its what you set your mind to do your body will follow.. keep up the great work!!
Way to go Robyn! Congratulations!
So impressed Robyn! Great job
Great article! When I started Crossfit a little over a year ago, there wasn’t much I could not do without scaling and it felt like I was going to scale WODs forever. Since then, and with hard work, I’m now able to do many more of the movements that I thought were so out of reach even up to a few months ago.
You’re toughest obstacle is yourself.
Keep at it, don’t give up, it will come and you will be a better person for it.
congrats to all the runner at Legs for literacy!
10k 50:31 (PR of 1min 28 s)
Great day for a run!
Congrats Michelle. That is a great 10k time!
Getting goose bumps reading all your posts today. Way to go everybody and congrats for just showing up!
Corinna! How are you feeling? How’s your back? Hope to see you soon!
This is just what I needed today
I’m starting a new position at work tomorrow. Thanks to CrossFit I feel I can take on any challenge.
Great results on the run today guys!
Nice job everyone on the runs… Great times all around!
