For some reason, life, work, grind, whatever I just wasn’t feeling it for the 4th annual running of the Hog and Coyote CSAUP. Then I found out I was scheduled to Q at the Fort, so my decision to forego H&C was confirmed. The other awesome thing was that since PAX were a little thinner than usual (CSAUP and all) I got the opportunity to take the entire 60 minutes myself. I arrived at WEP well before the start time and got to see the lead runners get there for the official 1st pain station of the event. That really got me fired up for the workout that I had planned.

SO here’s the moral of my story at the front. If there’s a CSAUP event and you think you will take the easier route and post to Geronimo’s workout instead, it may not absolutely be the easier route. That said we took the next 60 minutes doing the mini H&C.

40 s alternating corners- 1 hand up, opposite foot up then switch

Add music for the timer app next time. Not too much mumble chatter makes for a quiet 8 minutes. Must just be early.

I’ve Q’d a lot in the last 3 or 4 months and I’ve gotten pretty lax in my BB writing. Mostly procrastination, some laziness, but mostly that procrastination thing. I keep thinking that tomorrow will be a better time to do that, until all too soon I’m posting up at next weeks workout and then it’s like “meh, why bother now”.

Unfortunately, it’s super easy to do that with so many things in our life. Tomorrow looks like a better day to take my kids to the park and play. I’ve got SO many days until my wife’s birthday, what’s waiting 1 more day to get her something special going to hurt. I’ll call my dad NEXT week.

It’s a Trap!

None of us know how much time we’ve got on this big blue ball. Putting the best things off until tomorrow in favor of something that is probably “meh” at best, is not the spirit of what we are trying to accomplish. Each day we should be trying to be a bit better, a bit stronger, love our wives and kids a bit more, make our homes a bit happier.  I’m afraid to say that waiting til tomorrow for all that just isn’t going to cut it.

Geronimo!
