Teamwork = Dreamwork
“If you go through life worrying about all the bad things that can happen, you soon convince yourself that it’s best to do nothing at all.”
– Ross Perot
Your Deep Squats (Thoughts)
I managed to get to Crossfit Oshawa in Ontario, Canada while on vacation. I do not want to come back rusty!
I surprised everyone when the baby was out with only 6 pushes. I told them about CrossFit and they said they should recommend it to every patient. I’m 100% sure that CrossFit was a decisive factor to make my wish come true. Thanks for all you coaching and mentorship.
Short note to say ‘thank you’ for keeping CrossFit Palo Alto the way it is! I had a bit of a hard landing after my trip last week, and then over the weekend I did a long run at too fast a pace for me, so I came into Monday morning aching and not in the best mindset. But I KNEW that once I walked through the door, I’d come out an hour later in a better mood. Good workout and great company will make sure of that. And it worked! Thanks so much. This is exactly what I needed today.
Then I hike back up the mountain. Every day is packed with 15+ hours of lugging, cooking, lifting, sorting, laundering, reaching, bending, squatting, carrying, up and down stairs, wax-on / wax-offing (cleaning!) as I prep the property for sale. I feel like I get in non-stop hours of a workout daily. I feel I can do this all due to being bull-headed. And also … CrossFit. Not the type of thing I wanted to prepare for but I know CrossFit has made me physically strong enough to do what needs being done. Thank you.
I have to tell you that when I originally got talked into coming to class by Shirley I had no idea the family I was becoming a part of. I love our class. I love that we hang out outside of class. All of us are different ages, different backgrounds, different hobbies but we all just click. Thanks for creating such an amazing space…. and for my unexpected love for CrossFit… I was terrified to try it!
See you in class.

On Wings of Eagles by Ken Follett
On Wings of Eagles is the thrilling novel based on the incredible real-life rescue of two Americans by a Green Beret colonel and a group of corporate executives from revolutionary Iran, from number one bestseller Ken Follett.
Tim’s Takeaway: I’ve always meant to read this book. My older brother read it in the 90’s. I knew about it and how Ross Perot was behind it. Now I can say I’ve listened to it. It’s a pretty harrowing tale on its own. It is then made more so when you realize that it’s a true story! I also romanticize that I would be willing to step up and risk my life for friends and coworkers. May The Lord give me the courage and fortitude to step up when needed.
Thank you for your support.
I look forward to what we will do together.
