Introduction

I woke up with a very tight and sore left hip and couldn’t run.  I almost messaged Sparkler and told him I couldn’t do it.  I told myself no and decided that even if my Q wasn’t what I had planned which had a lot of running that I would show the PAX a good lesson of how to adapt and overcome.

I redesigned my Q to a take you to failure type tabata while I was driving over to the AO this morning.  Timed out down to use the whole hour and end at a few seconds before 6.

One round was 35 sec of exercise with 10 sec rest

We did three rounds then did one 35 sec round of a core exercise then three more rounds of the same exercise so 6 sets in total of each exercise.  I had 10 stations set up in a small portion of the lot so the PAX would rotate clockwise to the next station

The COT was about how having a positive mindset makes such a big difference.  I spoke about how I used to not have positive outlook for a long time with the setbacks in my personal life.  I told how my changing my outlook has made such a huge different in my life.  I challenged the pax to think about one thing that they were grateful for on their drive home and then think of another tomorrow.
