FOMO Tuesday

Leave a comment

WARMUP: not needed today

THE THANG: Rucked the Bama loop plus some extra. Rain stopped just before launch. Dripping trees, morning rooster, birds and school buses provided the company this am, all uplifted by the holiday spirit of those whose Christmas lights brightened the Gloom. Grateful for this thing we call The Fort that gets me out of bed and starts my day 1-0 more often than I’d ever do it on my own.

Happy Thanksgiving brothers!

COT: yes, even video proof

NMM
Today’s workout was proof that it can be simple and still difficult. No PowerPoints needed. No extra explanation. Just Merkins and running. Do enough, and you feel it.

How many times in life do we make things more difficult than they need to be? We worry about things that never materialize. We make excuses to not do something because it might be uncomfortable. We worry ourselves with ornate scenarios we create in our minds that have little to no basis in reality. Sometimes we need to just do the thing. Face it. Do it. Win it. Move on.
