Circle of Trust
Weather has been phenomenal, what a treat! I had a great night sleep. I’m finding myself going to bed earlier now. A month ago I was still running on 4 hours of sleep pretty consistent. Sleep was great, motivation this morning not so much. I was transparent with the guys in letting them know I had no desire to get out of bed this morning let alone work out. Thank goodness for ACCOUNTABILITY – the breakfast of Champions. I strive to be a man who takes action whether I feel like it or not. It’s not about “feeling” like it, it’s about being MEN of our word. I had to quite my inner Bit** as Joe Rogan says. I feel our society is so ass backwards now days. We want the reward instantly or in most cases before we’ve even earned it! I used the fire place example where a young man tells it,”First give me fire then I’ll give you wood”. It doesn’t happen that way, at least from my experience. First we give it wood (effort) then we get the fire (motivation).
Final Prayer
Naked Man Moleskin
A lot of heavy hitters ITG today. Last night as I began to prepare I was scrolling through the Exicon looking for a simple (not easy) yet effective workout. I’m now on page 16-17 and I keep making my way through. My left knee and ankle are a little beat up so the turf field was a blessing. Immediately after our Prayer the PAX did AAR which I appreciated. That’s something I will incorporate more often for a couple reasons. One to get better. Two so I don’t get complacent. That was humbling. Over all the PAX pushed it. I know Appletini hates all the things we did today so as I ran one of the laps I giggled inside. I asked Frank The Tank to be responsible for the ENERGY. Overall it was legit. I love wrapping up a BC or RC with sprints. I was focused on running mine yet from my peripheral I saw the PAX pushing which only fired me UP! It’s now 8:30. My M is bringing down breakfast, I’ve read, I stretched/rolled for a good 30 minutes, spent 15 minutes with my 2.0’s, showered, answered a couple emails and wrapped up this bad boy. Funny how I didn’t feel like it. Instead of letting the day run me, we CHOOSE to run it! Proud and honored MEN! Thank you!
Signing off….
See you @ the TOP!
