Moleskin:
I was going to have a second Q written if it wasn’t raining. That didn’t happen so I stuck with the original (plus it could have rained). I apologize for not keeping a better eye on all of the PAX. With all of the IC, I was too focused on getting through everything; and for that, I owe the entire Twail family an apology for all of the SSH. OCB’s shoes weren’t the best and were causing him discomfort. Gatsby was getting nauseated. And Crash “was going to punch me in the face”.
So if I take nothing else from today, I will take these two things: keep a better eye on the PAX and find another cardio alternative for under the bridge Qs. I just thought of two options that I’ll mix in next time: Mountain climbers and high knees. For the record we did a total of 130x IC SSH or 260x actual SSH.
Anyhow, you all did great. I’m really proud of everyone sticking through it. It was a grueling. I tried to hit each body group / exercise type and separate them to never really over work one particular area. With some modifications I’m definitely keeping this in my bucket of “need a quick Q”. The weather held up and the temperature was good.
Words of Wisdom:
Adding this to my backblast template.
Everyone is a sum of their experiences. Everyone has had different experiences. When you’re in a disagreement with someone, try to remember this. It doesn’t mean you’re right and they’re wrong, or you’re wrong and they’re right. Try to take in the other person’s perspective, or at least mentally acknowledge they are coming from a different set of experiences, even if you don’t agree. You might at least be able to find a common ground.
