NMM:
You ever just 3000% took care of everything and crushed it by all outward metrics, but you didn’t do it with JOY in your heart? So your wife, kids, or close friend noticed and it wasn’t the reaction you expected…even though the mission was fully accomplished
It isn’t enough to just do a good job
Handle the mess your kids created with success, but did it in a way that made them feel scared rather than safe? Failure
Take care of business for your family, but made your wife feel like it was a burden rather than a mission? Failure
Maybe it’s just me… 😉 Good thing failure is a way point and not an end point. Let’s stay after it!
WARMUP: No, too cold

Turkey Run- DBES
Get a teammate. 1 turkey recovery trott around the drop off loop. Partner turkey breaks out of the collar and sprints the outer school loop to get away. When the runaway turkey returns back to the corral, partner turkey takes off.
Rinse and repeat until 6. Try to get prs on the 1km sprint

NMM
Most people face challenges every day. Some are easy to overcome while other times it feels like war. The enemy is all your doubts, all your fears, and the lie that you aren’t good enough to complete the mission. But don’t quit. Wake up, brush your teeth, make your bed, workout, shower, and just make it to lunch. Then, make it to dinner. Regardless of how bad the day was, there will be a new one tomorrow.
When you feel like quitting, which you will, do not quit right now, that’s emotion. Instead, say “I’ll quit tomorrow.” If you can keep quitting tomorrow, you can do anything. Don’t let the lies in your head stop you from achieving great things.
Aye!
