Introduction
It was a balmy -1 degree this morning.
I arrived early to check for ice on the short run I had mapped out. Luckily, there was no ice but holy cow, there was a lot of wind. I decided to move the coupon portion of the workout from the parking lot to behind the pavilion for shelter from the wind.

The Thang
As a group, we started with 20 reps of curls, overhead press, goblet squat, coupon swings, and bent over row. We then ran a lap around one of the ball fields and back to the coupons.
We did the same exercises again, this time doing reps of 30 and repeated the run.
Same again but with 40 reps, then run.
The plan was to work our way back down to 20 but because we were running out of time we finished with 20 reps and skipped the run.
Finished with a Mary RoF and held plank till 6:00

“By failing to prepare you are preparing to fail” – Benjamin Frankin
This quote hit me this week as I failed to prepare for an executive update at work. I had done this a gazilion times and had fallen into a routine. I did not prepare thinking it would be like all the other updates. Instead, there were things brought up and questions asked I was not prepared to respond to or answer. My message was about taking time to plan and prepare for the important matters in life. On the other hand though, so many of the decisions we make and actions we take are not critical, and while planning in these situations is still important, it is often not worth stressing and losing sleep over.
