100 Days of Training (2017)

I’m going to try to do 100 consecutive days of getting in a good training session- something. anything. With a public post to keep me honest and on track. (This series is from 2017.)

Did a half hour of basic QM, and then thought this up… Two positions, face-up and down. Roll between the positions keeping arms and legs off the ground. When face up do pike leg raises, when face down do pushups. Add 1 to the count each time.

I don’t know why Deadpool’s catch-phrase has stuck with me… but it has. If you meet me in person, you’ll find I’m almost always wearing this little reminder, “maximum effort / effort maximal”. For me it means put in the maximum effort *now* which leads to *long term* success. …and so, out the door for another run. https://constantine.name/100days

Day 34/100 – the Master and I

I was recently listening to a podcast with Jerzy Gregorek where he was talking about our internal ‘voices’. (the Fatalist, the Master, et al) He was describing how weight lifting had awaked his internal Master… it clicked for me this morning as I went out the door. “fitness” versus “training”. Solitude. Hard work well done. My internal Master — the master of me, not a master of others — has slowly awakened these past few years and knew what I should do this morning. 20 min trail run up here, work on this one route until my hands have had enough.
