The Triple Threat Abmat Challenge
Day 13 = 39
Buy in = 273
Tucked away in our subconcious minds is an idyllic vision in which we see ourselves on a long journey that spans an entire continent. We're traveling by train and, from the windows, we drink in the passing scenes of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at crossings, of cattle grazing in distant pastures, of smoke pouring from power plants, of row upon row of cotton and corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of city skylines and village halls.
But uppermost in our concious minds is our final destination--for at a certain hour and on a given day, our train will finally pull into the Station with bells ringing, flags waving, and bands playing. And once that day comes, so many wonderful dreams will come true. So restlessly, we pace the aisles and count the miles, peering ahead, waiting, waiting, waiting for the Station.
"Yes, when we reach the Station, that will bit it!" we promise ourselves. "When we're eighteen...win that promotion...put the last kid through college...buy that 450SL Mercedes-Benz...have a nest egg for retirement!"From that day on we will all live happily ever after.
Sooner or later, however, we must realize there is no Station in this life, no one earthly place to arrive at once and for all. The journey is the joy. The Station is an illusion--it constantly out distances us. Yesterday's a memory, tomorrow belongs to the Universe. Yesterday's a fading sunset, tomorrow's a faint sunrise. Only today is there light enough to love and live.
So, gently close the door on yesterday and throw away the key. It isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad, but rather regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who would rob us of today.
"Relish the moment" is a good motto.
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, swim more rivers, climb more mountains, kiss more babies, count more stars. Laugh more and cry less. Go barefoot oftener. Eat more ice cream. Ride more merry-go-rounds. Watch more sunsets. Life must be lived as we go along. The Station will come soon enough.

traditional weight lifting. But my boredom at the gym outweighed my concerns, so with a friend we started searching the internet for a Crossfit near us. We found OTG and off we were to our 1 on 1 session. That was the day that changed my fitness life completely around. I woke up the next day and have never been so sore. I also had never been so excited to go back for more!
The workouts challenge you in ways I can’t describe. Besides the workouts being physically challenging you are mentally challenged as well. There are plenty of days that I think to myself ‘How the heck am I going to finish this workout?!’.
Not enough great things can be said about the trainers at OTG because they encourage you and challenge you to leave it all on the table. You have such a sense of accomplishment when you actually finish! I could write for hours about what Crossfit has done for me, but you really need to find out for yourself. One thing is for sure, you will push yourself beyond limits you didn’t even know you had and are guaranteed to feel better about yourself in ways you could have never imagined.
