A little over 5 mile hike with Dennis.
Life has been handing us lemons left and right so it was time to make some lemonade.
As usual we had deep and rambling talks that covered many topics.
Worth the drive as always.

I’ve seen a good deal of feedback on this workout and it’s sucking.
It’s Friday.
I will also say this.
We use what we do as a therapeutic outlet. It is a safe space. It is a second home.
I have seen most athletes in my gym cry or flip out. Sometimes both.
Why does this happen?
I ask you to go beyond your comfort zone. Well beyond, I ask you to go to that dark place.
I ask you to go to the place that tears down all of the armor you have built up over years fending off life. The armor that is so glued to your body you had forgotten you put it up.
Taking down these physics walls creates an open flood gate of emotion.
I have had it all spewed on me at one time or another I know it’s not really at me, I’m just the one who’s standing there when the nozzle opens.
We are in a period of grief. Encountering these feelings is important, it is ok to have them.
It is normal.
I, as always appreciate your trust, your dedication, and your desire to be better. You should have tremendous pride in how you hard you work.
Earlier today @laurenjoyc shared a story with me I heard before called “a message for Garcia”. It’s a fantastic story and amazingly appropriate for the time we are in.
It also talks about being a “savage”. It talks about the most effective people are rough around the edges, savage, intense.... You have to be a little savage to do what we do.
You don’t have to be the best to win, you just have to be harder to destroy... Bulldogs were used in 19th century dog fighting because of the extra fat and skin around their neck making them harder to kill. Their opponent had to work that much harder to win... 2+170+350m 40# ruck
