14 of the hardest men this city has ever seen decided to get even harder together this morning. The Q has been fighting off a sinus infection for about a week and finally decided the best way to beat it was to beat the shit out of it at 0530 with the homies.

(2230 update: That was not the cure.)

One of Mayweather’s classic burners. Run all the way down to the Veteran’s Memorial stopping at 5 intersections to do 10 merks and 10 WW2’s.

Once everyone arrived at destination, OYO  do 10! Merks/LBC’s (10! is math for a factorial, meaning 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 reps of each exercise)

MOLESKIN

Every day there’s a reason to turn off the alarm, roll over, and get some more sleep. You’re never 100% and you’re never going to feel like it. It’s never a good day to drag yourself out of bed and work yourself to exhaustion.

Those are all excuses. And excuses are bullshit. If you don’t feel like you can sprint, then run. If you don’t feel like you can run, then jog. If you don’t feel like you can jog, then shuffle. If you don’t feel like you can shuffle, then walk. And if you don’t feel like you can walk, then check again because you can. But get your ass up and sprint, run, jog, shuffle, or walk. You don’t have to go fast, and you don’t have to go far. You just gotta go. If you do, you’ll be way ahead of 99.9% of the world.
