We've only just begun

I wanted to write a quick post to thank everyone in my life for helping me get where I am today and all those who continue to make me better every day. It still amazes me that just a few years ago, while I was in college, I wouldn't have been able to even dream of running a marathon or finishing olympic length triathlons. Or back squatting 265 pounds like I did this past Friday. Damn. 

The past...although it's behind us, it will always be a part of us and will forever linger. I still need to find the strength and energy to mentally move on from the ghosts of yesterday. The past still affects my life every day. I constantly think I am not strong enough or fit enough to do something. Most of the time I try anyway and am pleasantly surprised, but I just wish I could have a better understanding of my abilities and realize that I am not the same person I was. 

Anyway, here's to a happy and fit 2012. For me, the year started out rough, but I know my family, friends and especially my crew at CrossFit Hartford will continue to make me stronger every day.
