“Pain versus Discomfort”

There is a common misconception about pain.

Pain is not what we feel inside of a conditioning workout, or the tail end of a heavy squat set.

Real pain is different.

Pain is when we are walking through the garage and step on a nail.

Pain is when we loose a limb.

Real pain, is when we loose a loved one.

What we feel inside conditioning sets is not pain… it’s discomfort.

Training isn’t painful. It’s uncomfortable at times, but – it’s not pain.

Let’s use this as a perspective change as we enter today’s training.

Today, let’s get uncomfortable.

“Waste No More Time Arguing What A Good Person Should Be. Be One.” – Marcus Aurelius

It isn’t what we say that defines us, but instead what we do.

In today’s modern world, opinions flow freely. This is a great thing. Yet with such healthy discussions and debates, comes drama, confusion, and a blurred line between what is right and wrong.

The term ‘paralysis through analysis’ is an expression used that describes a situation where we overthink things. We try to appease every opinion, and in attempting so, we do nothing.

Marcus Aurelius urges us to contemplate less, and act more. To be the change we want to see in this world, rather than to argue for it.

Warm-up (No Measure)

For Time:

10 Rounds of “Rowling”

*The goal of “Rowling” is to try to land on exactly 100 meters. 93 meters or 107 meters are both scores of 7. Athletes who just rowed will complete 7 air squats before their next partner can begin. Reset the monitor for each round. The team who rows fastest and/or gets the smallest number of penalty reps will have the best opportunity to win. To make it fair, line up by height and pair the athletes on each end up with each other. For example, the tallest athlete will be paired with the shortest athlete and so on.

*we’ll calm down with a 90 second couch stretch on each side once the game has wrapped up

Metcon (AMRAP – Rounds and Reps)

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” – Mother Teresa

The simple “thank you” could very well be the most underrated words in vocabulary.

We may be great at “feeling” gratitude, which is ever important. But we often need to remind ourselves of the impact it has, when we express it to another. It’s not the times a stranger holds a door for us, or a clerk gives us change. Although it is proper to say thank you here, it’s more about the times that we don’t have to say it.

Taking a moment to thank a friend, who has always been there for you. Stopping to express to our neighbor how much we enjoy living next to them. Telling a co-worker how lucky we feel to be able to work with them every day.

Although just a second in our day, their echos can “truly be endless”.
