From CrossFit Southie...
Thankfully, thus far we do not know anyone who was physically impacted by the blast. Even though our lives personally are not dramatically different, it still feels traumatizing. I still get that icky feeling in the morning waking up and realizing that this really happened, and it happened on the streets that we call home.
We realize that CrossFit is an escape for all of you. It is a place that you can go to not think about anything other than the barbell and the pull-up bar, which is why you have seen only positive things on our blog. However, we have a powerful community and it is time to resource our community near and far to make a difference for a local family.
On Saturday we will be doing a WOD to honor those who have passed, those seriously injured, those who saw horrific things, the first responders, the local nurses and doctors, the City of Boston, and America our country.
Since the Richard Family are our neighbors, and because they have been so dramatically affected we have chose them to fundraise for specifically. If you plan to do the workout on Saturday please offer a donation before or after doing so. Every little bit counts. If everyone just gives $5.00 then from the box alone we will be able to raise at least $2500.00. Between the funeral costs and the medical bills they will need every penny . If you are from a local box and would like to participate with us on Saturday, please make a $20.00 donation and come and WOD with us. Pass this post on to every CrossFitter you know.

"This is what the clean and jerk looks like in training: you go into the gym and put a new personal record on the bar. You begin to pull the thing, and in the back of your mind there is a little fucking gremlin that convinces you it is too heavy. With style points, you just pick it up slowly into your hips, 
but you are too chickenshit to go under the bar.

A week goes by, and this time you make up your mind not to look like a nob-head. You get set, pull, finish hard and move under. No chance! The bar shoots your ass back about five feet, sending you crashing into the wall behind you. A few more crashes like this and you are likely to bring the whole damn gym down.
Another week goes by, and this time you pull it, finish hard, and receive it with your elbows up, 
but you fail to stand up.

Two more weeks go by, and this time you pull it, finish hard, receive it and stand up with a struggle. You are so excited at this point you begin to get dizzy, and as you try to jerk you have nothing left in you, so you just dump it off of you and collect yourself as you sit down.

Another week goes by and this time you clean the weight beautifully. You dip and drive the bar to lockout but fail to gain control in the split.

Another two weeks go by, and this time you clean it and jerk it like a champion. Your coach says, “Down,” and with a sense of pride you give the air a double fist pump. The last time you felt this good was when your girlfriend whispered vehemently in your ear, “You are an absolute god in bed.”

Now put on another kilo and do it all over again.
Weeks will eventually turn into months, months into years. Nevertheless, that is weightlifting."

-Donny Shankle, From the CrossFit Journal
