WARMUP: SSH x 33 5 burpees Imperial walkers 5 burpees Slow squats 5 burpees Merkins 5 burpees Stretch OYO while workout is explained
THE THANG: hyrox style: complete exercise then lap around the park 50 thrusters Angry bear crawl 25 man makers weighted lunges 1:1 50 rows Burpee broad jumps 50 merkins Shout out to Pebbles for crushing the workout and lapping, I think, everyone.
MARY: Coupon WW2 Leg raises Heel taps Plank
MOLESKINE: Be free of the outcome. Working in the ER means being prepared for anything to come through those doors with no warning. It also means that I rarely see how people end up. Someone comes in with a stroke or heart attack, and I have about five minutes to do everything I can for them before sending them off with a different team, and I may never find out what happened or even if they lived. People come in from overdosing on something. We get them stabilized and send them out just hoping they won’t fall off the wagon again. In those few moments I have with them, I have to give all my expertise (limited as it is), all my hope for them, and some joy to ease their fear. Then, when that time is up, I leave and do it again for the next patient. Every person I encounter, I want to see them healed, but that isn’t my place to force that. I have to trust my team, the other teams in the hospital, and the patient themselves. In doing that, if there is success, it isn’t mine alone. If there is failure, it isn’t all my fault. I have to give everything and then let go peacefully. Same can be said for raising our children and so many areas of life. Do what you can, and be free of the outcome. “Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

MOLESKINE:
Find something you enjoy / want to do that also requires patience and endurance (a hobby, a home project, a health commitment). We’re so prone to seek the easy way out or the path of least resistance – that’s human. But practicing stick-to-it-ness does something to our souls that makes us better men.
Start with something you really want to do but may be hesitant to commit to. For me, it’s reading a really long classic novel or climbing a difficult route at the gym. It’s gonna suck sometimes but there’s a joy in pushing through the struggle to the end. Take the lessons learned from this experience and apply it to other areas of your life where giving up is easy.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
westside-wednesday returns 09/09 at Tailgate Brewery! I will try to be there with the fam. Come on out!
Free entry for Titans 5k in Brentwood (thank you Juicy J !) at the end of the month – see post on slack for details.
