One Flight Down

So why are you limping around today? Rough weekend chasing down the ever so elusive 15 minute 5k? “It was a freak accident dude … This man-hole cover appeared out of nowhere, right in the middle of the road! Who the hell puts a man-hole cover in the middle of the road in the first place?!?”
Here’s the deal peeps, Oh and Good Morning (Let’s get the niceties out-of-the-way before you grab your pitch fork) many of the injuries we suffer cannot be labeled “Freak” accidents. If you get run over by a man riding a buffalo?!? That’s a freak accident! A vast majority of our injuries can be avoided with less reckless activities on our part. There are many examples however here are a few we like the most: Taking a weekend off from running, listening to an old injury, developing the skill of stepping back to reflect. There should be no reason to regret a “Freak” accident although if we listen to and nurture our bodies? There will be an awful lot to appreciate and celebrate later down the road.
The Plan-
The Workout-
Probably the top question we receive here at CultFit is: “How do you perform a Perfect Push Up?”
Warm Up as you see fit and prepare for a little hockey since the NHL blows right now!!!
You can do this either with a wall or another person (Ja Ja Perv). Face the wall or your partner in a High Push Up Plank position (Hinge-Walk Out) about 5 feet apart. Using a dog toy, tennis ball, bean bag or lacrosse ball, try to slide or roll the ball between your partners two hands to score a goal (or bounce the ball off the wall back to you). Your partner may stop the ball with one hand only (same goes for you)!
Keep score if that is your thing and no cheating if you do this alone! This peeps, is how you start to learn the Perfect Push Up!?!
Notes:
A little random and all over the place today … ENJOY!!!
It’s Alright … It’s OK

Let’s set the mood … Put your feet up to unwind and feel free to pour a drink if you like.
We are truly grateful for the simple appreciation Miso Strong and BopSpeed have recently passed our way. Chances are you have heard of the Very Inspiring Blog Award as well as the Oh So Lovely Award. We certainly have and we are ever so appreciative of being honored in such a thoughtful way by two amazing women. Thank you!
Normally there are so-called “Rules” you are supposed to follow when receiving an award, whatever!?!
We are worlds apart … From Red Bank to Bahrain. When you have a free moment this week? Stop on by these amazing blog-o-things to say hello!

If there’s one thing about CultFit readers that really stands out: None of us can be considered Normal.
Have you ever been out on a group run (anything else) and suddenly came up limp due to cramps or another issue? Then had one of your friends say, ” Is this normal for you chump?!?“
What may be Normal and unique to you is considerably different from another persons definition of Normal. This is blatantly obvious stuff here peeps yet we forget about it each time we close our eyes at night!
If you hang around or associate yourself with someone who is obsessed with their running times, weight loss, weight being used, shoe size, IQ (all solid examples)? The next time they start lamenting and complaining about not being able to put up Normal numbers … Ask this question and duck for cover:
“Maybe this is your new normal dude?!?“
Put the weapon down Dear Reader and think about what we are presenting to you for one fleeting moment: Our definition of Normal is changing all the time. A marriage here and a couple of kiddos there, suddenly you’re on the lovely side of 37. Last year you had a few surgeries and a few too many beers … You’re not the same person you were when you last defined Normal for yourself.
We spend infinite amounts of energy in the pursuit of getting back to Normal <— This friends: Keeps each and every one of us from moving —> Forward in our lives.
The Plan-
The Workout-
You know that feeling, when you’re lying alone in your warm bed, staring at the ceiling? It’s early morning, the sun is freshly up, beginning to shine on you through the windows. Everything is beautiful yet something is amiss?!?
