Moleskin: Your higher power will keep giving you lessons until you learn them.  If you ever feel like you keep doing the same dumb things, or keep getting stuck then that is on you for not listening very well.  This morning was a great example of focusing on what you can control.  You can’t control the weather.  You can’t control the temperature.  You can’t control the condition of the AO.  You can’t control what time it starts. Unless you are the Q you can’t control what exercises are on the menu.  You can’t control if there was unexpected traffic on the way.

You can control your perspective, your mind and how you respond.  If you can do those things in adverse circumstances, then you can do them anywhere.

News: The CSAUP BB is up.

See Rosie if you’d like to help with weekend with Breaking Bread this Sunday.

Be super,

Hardywood

    Man, great Q Hardywood. 6 months ago, if you had told me I’d be delighted to be out there doing that workout in those conditions I would have thought you were talking about somebody else. Great words too – well put.

    Strong beatdown, Hardywood! That looked like a ton of fun and all kinds of madness.

    Amen brother, well said indeed

    You have to really want it, whatever “it” is for you, to be out there doing this stuff in conditions like we had this morning. I love the dedication and positivity of this group of men. Well done guys!!

    Great work leading us through the elements Hardywood. That video is a disturbing treasure of our past, were those upright APDs I saw in there? Need to check with Offshore.

    I sent the video to Corporate last night. My modesty reflex is still a little too strong to do an all “Jazzercise” themed workout.

    Great job guys. Sorry I missed it. Darn SOP challenge – if I wasn’t so far down that path, I would break out my skin-tight blue leotard top and black sweatpants like the guys in the video and show off my boogie body.
