The Thang

We rucked from the flags east up the hill(ruffled up) to the disc golf course.

First stop, air squats. Rucked down the path to the creek. Second stop, Grady Corns. Climbed the stairs up and back to the path, down to the old brigde to the south of the flags. Third stop, lunger walk across the bridge. Found the meadow to the right after the bridge and tranversed diagonal to the steps. Climbed the steps, stop four at the top for reverse lunges. Made our way down the ravine path, into the valley, over the bridge and ruffled up the incline to the path. From there we stayed on the path and ruffled up another incline to a pavilion for the 5th stop. Step ups and Dips OYO. Back on the move on the path to dead mans cave. Took the stairs down and went left toward the valley meadow. Half way to the stairs, we ruffled to the stairs and up. Held squat until 6 was in. 10 Sec count. On the move the the other old brdge to to side step squats half way R then half way L. From there, ruffled up the hill to the disc golf club house. On our 12’s for shoulder taps. Back on the move to the flags. There, we Bernie Sanders up the road and went back down the hill for the 6. Did the short loop back to the flags for Mary at 7:25

Mary-Big Boys, slow cadence. LBC’s w/pace. Shoulder taps. Pickle pushers. Am Hams to 7:30.

Circle of Trust

The darkness you carry inside is lying. It’s tricked you into believing it’s a superpower. When you mess up, the shame and anger you feel towards yourself burn a memory into your mind so that you will never repeat the same mistake. For this reason, your self-loathing creates a mirage that its existence is a part of who you are, and you can’t be you without it. It’s your secret weapon, your edge! The truth of it all is it’s nothing more than a parasite. Sucking you dry, stealing your presence, and forcing you to burn energy that could be spent on building a flourishing existence for you and your loved ones. Fight the darkness, be kind to yourself, and keep moving forward.

Liked that we kept together. Great terrain makes it more challenging with snow. Nice moderate work out for the end of the week.
