Staying in the shade, sort of. Some battle buddy AMRAP rows, press, tricep extensions, squats, curls with alternating runs. Then some merkin, dips, calf raise mix. Finally some core work.

Be careful about quantification. Boiling anything down to a simple number can remove some much of the nuances of life. If you’re going to use metrics and data, know when you’re doing it, and always be mindful that it’s never as simple of a single number. And also, research has shown the more you measure by metrics alone the more likely people conduct unethical behavior.

COT: I’ve been struggling with Heroic Individualism as defined by Brad Stulberg. My intent had been to do Words based on his book The Practice of Groundedness, but life got in the way and couldn’t prepare a Word for this Q. Actually, heroic individualism got in the way. I had an opportunity to do some professional development that would be amazing and a big resume builder. But it’d be a huge commitment and require a massive amount of time. My wife and I chatted and she asked what I’d have to give up to take something like that on? What’s less important in my life right now that I could replace it with this opportunity? Her, the kids, work, F3, church, etc? Turns out she’s right and I have no more time to give, or at least that much time for that level of commitment.

Everything has an opportunity cost. Taking something on might mean not taking something on lad or perhaps having to let go or step back from something you’re already doing. There is only so much time available to you, so while you may want to take on all the amazing opportunities that come your way, but choose wisely so you don’t over burden yourself to a point you’re half doing everything and losing focus on those things that matter most.
