So if you are like me you have had a good start to the challenge but that being said, it isn’t always easy.  I have gone to bed hungry most nights and would have liked another meal or three before bed.  Queachee’ (or however you spell it) offered to bring me a Little Caesar’s pizza last night and it took a lot of discipline to not want to slap him for temping me.  I did learn that a “hot and ready” has over 3000 calories so save that for when you need to carb load for a Heavy Heavy.

I have heard some #mumblechatter on the slack channel that the protein shake requirement is helping out.  Good!

Short Sale, being the Master of the garage workout, shared with me a website that offers free workouts called www.darabee.com.  It may be helpful to you.  I typically make them up if I can’t get to an AO or the gym at work.  I failed last night because I did a bunch of exercises to include a bunch of squats and merkins, and lo and behold EZ Rider had the Q at the Pavilion today and we did a bunch of squats and merkins.  Great Q though.  I remember something about the number 66.

When you lack motivation or don’t feel like working out, try a little Jocko Willink psychology.  He says if you don’t feel like working out, you can take off tomorrow but don’t skip today.  Usually this works wonders by forcing you to keep working out and not skipping.  That being said, remember to plan some rest days or something a little less impactful like yoga.  I checked the #F3-250 rules and Yoga counts as long as it is 30 minutes or more so don’t hate.

Tomorrow, post your progress on twitter or slack.

Make sure to post this weekend if you can and if not, do something!    Remember to take advantage of the Coconut Horse ruck option if the run intimidates you.  We have had some good crowds and you can check the workout box before church.

Keep Def Leppard in your thoughts.  He is on the IR for about 6 weeks.  He was there for his teammates at the Rooster with a sinus infection and a limp but managed to complete the event.  #RESPECT   Now he needs to heal up.  Get better DL!
