COUNT: 14
2+ miles of hills and sprints, a full morning on Pickett’s, two oil changes and some serious core for our first grind of daylight savings! Self-rating (8/10) :muscle::runner:
WARMUP:
100 SSH
Imperial Walkers
Hillbillies
Michael Phelps
Little of this and that
Tempo Merkins
Lap around the pond
THE THANG:
We moseyed to the yoga studio and hammered out core to start it off.
100 hello Dollie’s
2 x 50 =100 Flutter kicks
60 second plank
30-60 second elbow plank
>From there we headed to the bottom of Pickett’s Charge.
We did Dora’s up the first hill / ledge:
100 Merkins
200 Squats on the 4 count
300 LBCs
Then we did 7s up the next ledge if Pickett’s (touch the wall of the Celleseum) with merkins at the bottom and Smurf Jacks at the top. As we ran, we forced ourselves to put smiles on our faces. 😀
We gathered at the bottom of that ledge and did another oil change (100 SSH) as a transition workout.
Everyone moseyed to the bottom of Pickett’s and did a full Pickett’s (got grounded by touching the Asylum) and then gathered at the Colleseum for the pre-BSIA 60 seconds of silence and reflection.
Mosey to the parking lot (squats on the sidewalk) and did a full sprint back to the AO together. Gathered on the curb for some more sprints and then we circled up.
Each person picked a number of Merkins in their head that they wanted to complete. The point is not to compare yourself to someone else but to pick the number and grind it out. Comparison the thief of joy.
Recover!

A couple themes:
1. Comparison is the thief of joy.
2. It’s been scientifically observed – not junk science – that you can force your body to feel emotions with your facial expressions. That’s why we forced ourselves to smile as we ran to get ourselves in the right headspace.
3. As we did Pickett’s today we heard the Bassmaster boats flying by. Those guys are the best at their sport and they did not become the best just by purchasing boats and showing up for the Classic. They had to show up each day and practice and grind and work hard.
The quote for today is, “You are not your grand plans, but your daily patterns.“ James clear
Let’s go!!!!
