tough or stupid

Figured I take the opportunity while I am sick to bring up what I am sure a lot of us go through when we get sick.  So much of what we do is training ourselves to push through thresholds, and the old school with aerobic excercise is that sometimes it can increase endorphins which...blah, blah, blah.  Any way, Crossfit can make us sick when we feel well, but the idea of missing a training day sucks.  I have usually pushed through it, but now I got a minor lesson about listening to my body.  I did the 7 x 1 thrusters yesterday when I felt just kinda shitty, and now I am mostly out. I am sure that I could have come tonight and pushed through (good excuse for shitty times), but I thought my 100 temp would probably get worse.  But, damn it kept having to tell myself to not go.  I have seen a couple of posts on the subject on the main site discussion board.  I ramble.  Hope practice was good, and I hope that I am right on the rest (although I did my f'ing burpees, 6 at a time.)

rest up dude and get better, a couple days off might be just what the Dr. ordered.

Gotta listen to the body. Wheather it's a tweeaked shoulder, or a pulled hammie let alone the immune system not being up to par. They say the body will go farther than the mind will go ie., that feeling of lunch coming up. So if we apply the same thought, the mind may be saying I need to hit the WOD, but the body is saying I have a 102 fever. Gotta listen to the body.

Anyone see Freddy C post. Maybe to much to soon.

Which Freddy C. post are you talking about. If it is the all out run to the top of mission peak, fuggedaboutit. (Not that I couldn't. Actually I have, but my body is telling me to stay home.

I think some of the stuff we do every day is a little stupid or tough; depends on how you look at it.

At 7:50 on the second rep of my last 9 dips, I felt a pull or tear on my left pec. Didn't finish.
