Life is hard. Choose your hard. Marriage? Hard. Divorce? Hard. Fitness? Hard. Obesity? Hard. Debt? Hard. Discipline? Also hard. You can’t avoid hard, but you can choose your hard. Choose wisely.

I hope the workout is the hardest thing you do today. Maybe, maybe not. But when you train hard, you’re more prepared for the hard things life throws at you. You’re building strength and resiliency now to access later. Keep pushing.

Aye!

Big 5-0

Move everyone and everything to back corner of panera lot. Warm-up was run one lap slick, ruck one lap, ruck one lap with sandbags. Then 5 rounds of 10 merkins w/ruck, 10 overhead presses, and 10 swings. Ruck a lap with sandbag, ruck a lap, then run a lap slick. Next we partnered up and did some heavy movements. Then I guess we did the stupid shit according to Sofrito. But it was some team based moving of sandbags used at a couple ruck events. It was definitely new to some guys but based on the complaints it was fun. I probably missed a few guys in the tags but i sincerely appreciate everyone who came out to wish me a happy birthday today. Im truly blessed to be apart of this group.
