Show Up Until It Comes Back

Last week Gabriel was sick — bedbound, no energy, the whole week gone. The lesson then: rest isn't Drift, rest is stewardship. This week is the part nobody talks about — because getting better and feeling like yourself again are not the same thing. Tuesday he told himself "I'm back" and went to CrossFit. 

He wasn't back. He was a shell of himself — like somebody handed him the keys to an old minivan when he's used to driving a Ferrari. He pressed the gas, and nothing came. But he kept showing up. Wednesday, still rough. Thursday, he was honest before the first rep and scaled the load — not the standard, just the weight (that's not weakness, that's wisdom). 

Two rounds in the first half. Then the run in the middle — and somewhere out there, the engine came back. Two rounds became six. Friday: full RX, no scaling, finished in 19:33. The real lesson: you don't have to feel like yourself to start acting like yourself. Anybody can show up when they feel like a Ferrari — it takes a decision to show up when you feel like a minivan. That's identity. You don't find your stride and then start moving. You start moving, and somewhere along the way, you find your stride. Show up until it comes back. We don't drift. We decide.
