2024.49

A 3/4 mile figure 8. Top loop = 3 right turns, do 5 bombjacks at each right turn. Bottom loop = 3 left turns, do 5 merkins at each left turn. At the cross in the middle of the figure 8, do 5 burpees.

I got 5 laps, some got 6.

Lesson of the day, masculinity is earned. Time to go earn those callouses.

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.
