Inertia plays a mighty role in recovery, and an object at rest on a couch can stay there for a long time.

“CrossFit is not dangerous.
Bad coaching is dangerous, poor movement is dangerous. Ego is dangerous.
CrossFit, properly scaled to the individual is the safest and most efficient program available”

I like to think so, but I generally think I just articulate my verbose expressions well enough to confuse people. In the end, I use words nobody else uses in order to get people distracted from saying “no” and then persuading them to just say “yes”.
In any case, 2 years of exciting Computer Science somewhere in the United States is exciting. Especially with a full scholarship!

Mama #2 says congrats as well. Although I am a bit choked up, hard to let the kids leave the nest!
