Breakdancers can't be Wusses

So I went to Crossfit yesterday. How, I thought, can I justify this, when I don't especially love it and I've been doing it for a while? Doesn't qualify as much of an adventure when looked at that way. But then I got to thinking. What is the most adventury thing I really want to do but can't do yet because I'm not fit enough? Breakdancing!

So, Crossfit isn't Crossfit this summer. It's Breakdancing preparation. When I started to get overheated and miserable, I thought, "Breakdancers can't be wusses. Suck it up." When I was doing push presses and my shoulders got tired, I thought, "Wow, I'm gonna be strong enough to bounce into a handstand and out again."

Some adventures can't be had right this second but take some work. If I was going to hike to Macchu Picchu (another adventure I'd like to do), I'd have to prepare my body. It's the same with breakdancing and with parkour (which I'd like to try some day as well). So Crossfit this summer is the prelude to an adventure.
