Cross-Fit Is Less Awesome, And, This is Water

So among the copious amount of movies and other nothing I've been doing of late, I decided to try to do Cross-Fit exercises with a good friend.

12-20 minutes. That's all, just push through it, you're done, right?

Wrong.  Well, technically, yes, but not so simply.  Cross-Fit can be hard.  And painful.  And hard.  And sometimes I feel like the warm-up is enough.  But then I do do the rest of it, sometimes pausing before the nausea can occur, sometimes snapping out of my dizzy-driven thoughts to realize I'm on the next exercise.

Yet as much as it is just not enjoyable, I'm going to keep doing it.

Because lately, my days have felt pretty meaningless.  I've had staring contests with many-a-screen, and occasionally with a good old fashioned book.  I'm not sure how it became a third of the way through June.  And the occasional bit of fitness I punch in does remind me that I am still an existing thing beyond what I choose to take in.

But I watched this today, and no matter who you are - graduate student, unemployed, employed but burnt out or just feeling "stuck" in whatever worry you cannot fully comprehend or name, I think you should watch it too.

This Is Water

I hope it helps.  I think I'll try.
