Thanks to Opus for cueing YHC to Q. And thanks to the whole Pax for humoring me. After a week of summer-like weather, a morning in the 40s can feel a bit uncomfortable. The goal of this morning’s workout was to live on that edge of discomfort. Temporary, controlled, intentional discomfort can be a recipe for progress. For making ourselves just a little better – stronger, more confident, and ultimately happier – than we were yesterday. YHC hopes the workout was an avenue for the Pax to make that progress individually. And, that we are all gas station ready.
