SSH
IW
HW
Plank sequence
Included some dynamic stretching

THE THANG:

added an exercises each stop. (e.g., first stop = burpees only, second stop = burpees and merkins, etc.)

the 25 rep count was one of the previous exercises. So, when we found the literal end of the road it was stop 5 and we did:
5-burpees
10-merkins
15-squats
20-lunges
25-burpees in cadence

Next end of the road stop was
5-burpees
10-merkins
15-squats
20-lunges
25-merkins

Ran out of time before finding all the ends of the road.

MARY: did imperial squat walkers at COT for the 6….that’s kinda a core exercise, right?
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Food Drive happening now. Thanksgiving Convergence at the Ranch
COT: was held

NMM:

When you find yourself at the end of the road, your left with the same resources that got you there. Gotta use them to get moving again!

I heard a reference to a “second starting” line in terms of my mammon (teaching music). That is: once we learn the notes and rhythms, there’s a second starting line. We’re finally ready to make art rather than simply craft.

When you hit end of a road, turn around and think of it as the second starting line. Ain’t nothing to it, but to do it.

I recently watched the below video about taking action for those relying on you. In it, Chadd Wright describes his role as a breacher in the Seal Team. He would plan the breaching of an obstacle so his team could accomplish their mission. He describes three words that took planning into action: execute, execute, execute.

That’s what people fail to do. If you don’t execute on your plan, especially when you’re tired or scared or stressed, you’re not just cheating yourself, you’re cheating those they rely on you – your family, co-workers, or team.

So ask yourself, what is one decision I’ve been avoiding making that I should instead boldly execute today? When I say, “I’ll wait until conditions are perfect,” am I actually just waiting to avoid discomfort? How clear is my “why” for the work I’m doing — and does it anchor me when things get hard?

Execute today, gentlemen!
