Reflection: “We should take wandering outdoor walks, so that the mind might be nourished and refreshed by the open air and deep breathing”.
— Seneca, On Tranquility of Mind
When you get stressed or overwhelmed, take a walk. When you have a tough problem to solve or decision to make, take a walk. If you want to be creative, take a walk. Nietzsche was quoted, “It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth”.
And if you’re going for a walk, might as well put on a ruck (how else would you carry your beer?) or pick up a large block of concrete to be your friend along your way. It will never lie to you or whisper deceits in your ear.
Mole Skin:
-
PAX does not like slow count WWI’s
-
The second 5 burpee set, Clark thinks he sees a pattern. It was much worse than he originally thought.
-
Shirley participated like he was from another planet, one that’s not affected by Earth’s gravity. Beast mode.
-
Shirley was the only PAX to realize the faster he ran, the less time he had to hold up the block.
-
Clark nails a solid second on effort and placement. Also provides interesting mumble chatter as distraction.
-
Dandelion is a year older and showing his age. But his new mid-life crisis truck is super sweet.
-
Nice to have Hefty representing Mustang today. He brought the Jeep too, but didn’t offer anyone to drive it.
-
There was some mention of Burpees from Tuesday, but Q wasn’t there.
-
47 takes the WarDaddy. Mean/Mode/Median = 43-ish.
-
Enjoyed this morning. Sound off in comments on missed mumble chatter.
