Introduction
I was a bit nervous after having to shelter in place at Soderworld last night because of the storms. I got home much later than normal and realized I had not fully written out my Q. My intention was to use chalk to write it out for the PAX but the rain got me concerned the ground would be to wet. I took the risk of just seeing what happens and the ground was perfectly fine. The workout was a success.

2 topics for this CoT. 1st is about always having something to train for. With PAX finishing GTE 50 or the Mascot 10k, having an event to train for is beneficial in many ways. 1st you are physically training for something. This gives you a WHY and helps to overcome the “why am i running / rucking again”!!! 2nd it builds a shield lock with the men who also training with you. It creates a bond with different men who are training and will celebrate the win after!
2nd topic is about the “Misogi Challenge”. Some of you have heard about a Misogi from a very well received book the “Comfort Crisis”. You can read more about my experiences with Misogi / GTE over the years on Facebook. There is something life changing when you endure something that has a difficulty level and chance for failure. You really have to dig deep into the cookie jar to understand your why and push through to the end.
