I've hit all three days in a row.  That is a feat for me in and of itself.  Day 2 was the only day that I actually did everything asked of me.  Day 1 I walked away a little discouraged because I wasn't scaling nearly enough.  And Day 3 I didn't do the last gymnastics test. 

Yesterday was my most successful day in training so far.

I had 2 moments that really gave me confidence moving forward:

1. I was able to hit a snatch at 178#.  That is technically the second heaviest lift I've ever done.  185# is my heaviest, and I've hit 175# several times.  But the fact its been over 4 months since I've sneatched heavy, and still got that much I'm really proud of.  I credit the success to that with faith imaging.  I told myself that I am the athlete who has a 260# snatch.  Therefore 178 is nothing.  It's a warmup.  I approached the bar with confidence and explosiveness.  Looking back at the video, it went up quick.  There's no reason to doubt that I can do more.  260# feels attainable.  It is attainable. 

2.  I did a 20 minute AMRAP.  At first I was pacing one round every 5 minutes.  What I noticed was not only was I able to maintain the pace but go a little faster with the last 2 rounds.  That gave me confidence knowing I can suffer. 

I'm supposed to rest today, but I don't really want to.  I feel good.  I feel motivated.  I want to get to work.  I want to keep making gains.  ANd I really don't feel that sore.  It's funny because when I considered what I had to do for the day training wise, It makes me look forward to rest days because of how hard it is.  But now that the rest day is here, I don't want to rest.  I want to go hit it!

Hard work pays off.  But you have to put in the work.  Every day.  All the time.  It has to be an obsession.  My obsession.  My focus. 

This is Day 4.
