COT:
We focused on firm today. The difference between rushing through my reps and holding form in the reps is astronomical. When I rush, there is a sense of hurry, competition with the next guy, and unnecessary injuries can occur. But when I slow things down, I’m no longer in competition or hurried. My movements are measured and intentional.
So often in life I can get focused on the finish line. Rushing through from one task to the next. I grow accustomed to living in that hurried chaos and begin to compare my life to everyone else. What I’m trying to do this year is slow things down. Stop thinking about everyone else’s journey and live mine. If that means I have less money than the next guy, so be it. If I have to change my plans to stop and take time with my family, then I’ll do it. The most important people in my life will only live in my home for so long. How much time and I willing to set aside to engage with them and build lasting relationships rather than just finish my job and send them on their own?

Mosey lap around the WFP lawn and back to the side of the convention center. Chalk on the ground waiting.
Run a lap around the WFP lawn. Lather rinse and repeat for round two with slight modification. Instead of a lap at the end, run 40-50 yards and back after each exercise.
Short mosey over to the large landing beside the Big Ball for the Big Bang. Everyone circles up, distanced out. Each round increases by ten, slowly expanding the universe. Run X steps, do X number of reps of given exercise. Return back to your plank around the circle and wait for everyone to finish up.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Word of the day is inertia. Inertia in a physical sense is that an object will remain at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. Unfortunately that is also true when that velocity is zero. When we went into the safer at home mode and halted workouts, I didn’t think I would struggle with workout discipline like I did. I had a few minor physical things, but the mental battle of getting up and working hard absolutely smoked me. The fartsack was victorious more times than not.
My velocity was basically zero, and though I wish it weren’t true I am sure I wasn’t the only one who struggled without the accountability of my brothers standing in the gloom. So now the external force is back in my life. My brothers, standing at the fountains at 5:30 eagerly awaiting whatever silly nonsense I’ve come up with or whatever beatdown someone else has concocted. They’re there, acting upon me and accelerating me more than they know.
AYE!!
THE SCENE: Mid-30s. Cloudy. No sign of Orcs.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Quote from Gandalf in the Return of the King – “It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule”.
Be good. Do good. Leave it better than you found it.
