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.

Ran to the parking lot over by the Indian restaurant for some warmup. Started with SSH, windmills, low slow squats, slow merkins, mountain climbers, and cherry pickers. Some of us didn’t even use our arms to stretch – pretty amazing.
