Mini Mary

MOLESKINE:

I have a confession–I did not want to get up this morning. I’ve been pulled in 12 different directions at work with no end in sight. I’ve had to drop a class (ie. $2500 pissed away) because I was in a solid ‘F’ category. My running this week has been very poor. I submitted to stress eating yesterday. I spent 35 minutes on my porcelain throne this AM. My joints (and not my member) were unusually stiff this morning. I would have rated myself 3/10 when I pulled up this morning.

That’s the thing about the-discipline. You get up and show up irrespective of what’s going on in your life. Sometimes you’re even called to lead when things aren’t going well. The daily discipline of the King is often inviting, but sometimes it is completely opposite. the-discipline is cold and indifferent to how you’re feeling.

So you get up and go chase it anyway. That’s just how it works.

Yes, burpees.

10 burpees. Go.

10 burpees. Go.

Feeling tired yet?

Chunks got out of the mental funk and started carrying the boats.

10 burpees. Go.

After 12 sets, Q decided he was no longer tired and decided to move the crew on.

The pax moved onto another lap around the park with a stop for low and slow merkins in cadence.

Pax finally moved to the hill to truffle shuffle up and do more merkins. Yeah, we did that a few times. Pep looked okay, but I promise he was feeling great.

Pax headed back towards the start and did some flutter kicks to round out the abs.

MOLESKINE: pax were sulking after the third set of burpees. How many more will we do? How much more of this can we take? Mind has a lot of power over the body.

All pax moved out of their funk and got hard after set 9. By set 11, everyone was getting stronger.
