Circle of Trust
I was reminded by a conversation with my son last night about what it takes to be extraordinary, or do extraordinary things. While a quick review of extraordinary on the internet will give you 10-20 characteristics of what extraordinary people possess, they all summarize 2 attributes. First, an optimistic but realistic goal. Second and perhaps more important, desire and determination.
Ordinary people become extraordinary by displaying greater effort, and this can be portrayed in all aspects of life including professional careers, relationships, etc. From a fitness standpoint, pushing yourself harder and further everyday will provide us all with greater results and over time, we will all look back and see those gains.

We ran through the 40 minutes of Hell workout in 22 minutes and enjoyed the remaining time playing basketball in the dark. I underestimated the lighting on the basketball court, so it added an extra challenge for all PAX, but we had fun getting up and down the court.
Game balls go out to:
@Turner- the Big man in the paint. Nice post work!
@Tang- Rallied the good guys back into the game with several good shots.
@Nair- Running point guard and making some nice drives to the bucket.
