Bleeding Love

Tuesday, August 19;

Maybe this is what Leona Lewis pictures when she's singing that song..


"You cut me open and I, Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love, I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love, Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love. You cut me open."

Or maybe not...

I couldn't help thinking of that song this morning as I was watching everyone finishing today's workout. What a freaking nightmare. Literally! There was blood on the bars, bloody tape, bloody latex gloves, bloody kettlebells. I think the perfect word for it was carnage. Nasty, guts laden carnage... In a good way.

It takes a certain kind of person to rip their hand open while doing pullups but then hop right back on that bar and continue to complete your WOD. It's something I'm continually impressed with.

Since the shoulder is out of commission, I was not lucky enough to join in on all of this blood and guts. I would have loved to have had a token of my hard work to show off at work (I'm being serious). I was able to highlight a nice bruise I got from yesterday's ring dips, but that's nothing compared to a serious gash on the palm or a rip of the callous. How dissappointing. I hate missing out on all of this fun!
