Krits just called. She told me she had some good news to share.
I was instantly all ears.
“Dingy,” she began kinda sheepishly, “guess what?” Before I had time to reply, out she blurts three little words all laced with pure joy…
“I sawed it!”
You did what, was my first response, not knowing if I had heard her correctly and NOT quite believeing it if I had. She repeated herself, “I sawed it, Dingy.” A smile creased my face as soon as my brain finally registered what she was saying. My Krits had completed a “saw,” one of the toughest motions to master on the TRX. I remembered just one month ago when I showed her this exercise in the 3PP and she crumpled to the floor in pure pain and agony. “No way Dingy,” she told me at the time, exasperated at the thought of even trying.
Here it was, only 30 days later and she’s calling me to tell me about her triumph. Why had she been able to “saw it” after only 30 days?
Krits embraced the acute pain and kept trying. This seems like a perfect example of principle number 5 from my last rant. Do you see it? Moving on…
Krits kept building her core and building up to the big, bad saw. Now she’s sawing it and soon she’ll be a master sawer. Very cool. Here’s the coolest part, however. She told me that she is also running again and her hip doesn’t hurt. You see she inherited my genetically weak hips and has stopped “running it” because of chronic hip pain. She’s been to all kinda doctors and nothing seemed to alleviate the pain. Stopping the run, run seemed the only solution.
Not anymore.
Krits embraced the acute pain of building her core and now the chronic pain in her hips, has been sent packing. She’s not only “sawin’ it,” she’s runnin’ it too.
Way to go, Krits. I am happy for Y.O.U.!
