Play.

Though you couldn't tell by watching the Softball Toss event from the 2011 Crossfit Games, one of Crossfit's tenets is to get out and play something. "Regularly learn and play new sports," is how Glassman originally framed it.  Go hiking, jumping, climbing or whatever it is, but don't confine yourself to your garage gym or box.

For the past year, I've played basketball roughly once a week in a league that starts up again here in the spring. Meantime, I'm trying my hand at indoor soccer after subbing for an outdoor team in my neighborhood last fall and getting bitten by the bug. I played in high school and some intramural in college, so it's been awhile, but it's damn fun. Tonight was our first game.

A/B men's league, over 30, so you know it's legit, right?

And yes, I'm counting it as a WOD, because I'm gonna be a flipping mess tomorrow. Took a knee to the quad with 1 minute remaining, and it's the toughest sprint workout since my CFE workouts in 2011. I haven't decided if it'll be one of my Crossfit WODs, or a CFE WOD, but it's gotta count for something. So no, Merrill, it's not always about the numbers.

Soccer - 50 minute game.

Probably played 25 minutes. Tied 2-2, when one of their own defenders surprised his keeper with a "shot" from midfield with 5 minutes left. Whatever it takes, people. Whatever it takes.
