5 Pax started the week out right and got a little stronger at #WhiteLightning.  One of us returned from a back injury, one of us had every muscle group sore and a pretty bad cold, and another was getting over some recent sickness.  It’s not always easy, but YHC was glad to start the week out right getting stronger with good company.

This quote from Theodore Roosevelt is one of my favorites about keeping going.  Maybe it will inspire you as well to keep taking action.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Anyway … the workout went something like this.  Most of this was recycled from a recent Col. Mustard workout.

The Thang
