“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Maryanne Williamson

The race report -
BAXC 2013
Two CFSR members did Bay Area Track Club’s cross country race Sunday Maija (new member this week) and I.  Unfortunately the results are not up yet.  Maija ran the 6k (3.72 mi) elite race and finished a strong 11th in 23:36 at a 6:20 per mile pace chasing a field that included some of the best distance and middle distance runners in the country. (results)  I Finished 25th in  35:19  a pace of 7:07 per mile for the 8K (4.96 mi).  This was fast enough to avoid being lapped until I was part way into my 3rd lap of the 2K course.  The leaders passed me as if I were running the other direction at their 4:45 per mile pace.(results)  I thank them for helping me regain perspective on what fast running looks like :)

Thanks to coach Nik, who has provided a bunch of excellent programming over the last month!  He puts a lot of thought into your training and development.   The strength cycle you have been doing follows a Russian model (Smolov squat routine) which has proven itself very effective.  We have seen some big PR’s on an altered version of this system in the short time you all have been doing it.  Keep up the great effort!  We are proud of all of you!

“Maybe you don’t like your job, maybe you didn’t get enough sleep, well nobody likes their job, nobody got enough sleep. Maybe you just had the worst day of your life, but you know, there’s no escape, there’s no excuse, so just suck up and be nice.” Ani Difranco

I would add: “Suck it up and kick some f-ing ass! Rise to the challenge!  Go to sleep tonight knowing that you are a warrior!”   Tim – (Ani is also right, be nice, true warriors are nice people as they have few insecurities to hide)

Note: Gym will be closed for Open Gym 4:00 to 5:30 pm  on Thursday 12/20 due to a corporate event.

Friday is the end of the world as you all know (My theory is that as soon as the planets all line up on the opposite side of the sun, all of the solar system’s gravity will be working against us.  We will be pulled into the sun.  We must obey gravity it is the law),

so we are cancelling the 7:30pm class Friday night  and having a party… A few short challenge throwdowns might add to the revelry.  So if you want to entertain the masses in a showdown, throw down the gauntlet before a friend or a foe.  Let the crowd determine your fate! They decide which WOD!

End of the world movie(s) will be shown.  If you plan to imbibe, also plan for a safe return.  Or to hang out until the end of the world.

I do have a friend who has a plan to save the world and is accepting donations for the cause…

if she is successful….We will also be cancelling the 7:30 am class on Saturday. We may need to recover:)

“Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future.” 
― Niels Bohr

“It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.”
