New year to try new things.

MOLESKIN

signed up for Yoga, something I have never done before. I hate stretching but need to try something different because what I am doing now is not working! That’s just one thing I am trying that is new to me but not going to hold back on any new and different opportunities. Having said that, SHOUT out to BAGGER and SPOTTER for trying new things, posting at the BURBS! I think Bagger may have been a little apprehensive on posting at the burbs. Well, I can tell you Spotter and Bagger held there own. I think they realized perception is not always reality and you never know until you try something new. They both kicked ass and glad they stepped out of their normal AO to try something new. Yep, guilty of this too. Most of the reasons I hold back or elect not to do, is not believing that I can do it. Not something I want to do anymore, hold back on expanding my horizons, so to speak. Today was a great day and looking forward to tomorrow!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Especially this time of year, it’s easy to get caught up in the busyness – getting things wrapped up before the new year, planning for next year, finishing up the Christmas shopping, figuring out logistics for the holidays, etc, etc. Sometimes the most difficult task is to just slow down and enjoy the moments, the memories.

I’m as guilty as anyone when it comes to getting caught up in the “hamster wheel of life” – creating my list of things I need to get done, worrying about what’s to come tomorrow, and simply not slowing down to appreciate the moments right in front of me. I was reminded of this last night when I was getting ready for the Q this morning. I was preparing the envelopes for the workout (just another task that I needed to get checked off my long list of things to get done over the next couple days), but my 4 year old son was so excited when I asked him to put some stickers on the envelopes. He swelled with pride knowing that Daddy needed his help, and he quickly plopped down next to me and began meticulously placing his Christmas stickers on each envelope. It was just a little moment – inconsequential in the grand scheme of things – but I cherished that time with him. He won’t always be 4 years old, and he won’t always want to help his Dad with those silly projects.

Cherish the moments.

Bruh, those hills tho

THE SCENE: Mid 40’s and breezy, but boy, we shed layers quickly
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
20 Merkins
20 Lawnmowers per arm
20 ruck up gas pumpers
THA-THANG:
Headed out running toward Gallaher View and did that big Middlebrook loop to Vanosdale and back into the park. On the way we stopped about every 3/4 mile for more of the same PT, 20 Merkins, 20 Lawnmowers per arm and 20 Ruck up gas pumpers. Once we got back to the park we went looking for cookie butter at TJ’s, but alas, I always forget they aren’t open that early so we did more of the same PT. We still had minutes left for one more peak at TJ’s and then cashed out with 10 of all the PT.
