Scattershot
Two nights in a row of seven hours of sleep, people, and I am on top of the fucking world! Seriously, this is what it feels like to be not exhausted? I totally forgot what this was like.
So I'm a little manic today. Watch. Out.
Winning GIF of the day:
I don't remember the circumstances, but a while ago I was in a group of people and someone was saying how the people she knew who'd read Doyle's Sherlock novels were often put off by the homoerotic subtext (and sometimes not so much with the subtext, there) of both the RDJ movies and the BBC show. To those people, I can only say: This shit is canon, people. This shit is canon.
Martin Freeman's perfect face is perfect.
Jon Stewart, CALL ME. We should totally be dating, yo.
Speaking of fears, last night I crushed one of my fears. I not only did a box jump, people, I did a fucking WOD that incorporated box jumps. Box Jumps:
The woman at the 0:50 mark? That's what I did for like five minutes while![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mckitterick alternately held my hands and stood behind me and the two coaches working with us encouraged me and gave me advice. I started with a tiny little riser thing (the sort used for step aerobics) and the coaches gradually added additional stands until it was just a few inches shorter than the box. It took me a long time, and more than once I landed a jump on just one foot (like the same woman does at about 1:05). But I did 'em. Box Jumps. Mine. By the end of the WOD (where we did sets of 21, then 15, then 9, interspersed with another movement), I was landing them every time--even when I was tired.
Side note, especially for my dueSouth peeps: One of the guys working with me last night (I think he's a new intern) could've been Benton Fraser's younger brother. The resemblance was uncanny. He even had Fraser's short haircut. I wish I could figure out how to get a photo of him because seriously.
One of the things I love about Thomas, Kyle, and Steve (the coaches I've worked with the most) is they use this phrase "Even when you're tired." Pay attention to form even when you're tired. Just keep moving even when you're tired. Don't give up even when you're tired. There's no "if you're tired" because you will be tired. If you're not tired at some point during a WOD, yer doin it rong. So yeah, even when you're tired. Even when you're tired.
Yeah. Life shit in general? Don't give up. Even when you're tired.
