The morning started beautifully. YHC had slept with the window open and was woken by the soft chirping of morning birds. A slow stretch and a few blinks to see the first morning light. And being late to the beatdown. Crikey! A mad dash to get to the AO (safely) ensued…luckily my co-Q and PAX picked YHC up!

It’s Week 3 of Iron Cardio. The sneakiest of sneaky hard and heavy workouts. Movements are simple. That does not mean easy.
30-min AMRAP, single-arm KB (or other weight). One rep is the following:
Power Clean to OH press (x2) to Squat.
Alternate Arms.
Result is the total number of reps performed.

Abduction – Manion WOD. Come out and push yourself in a unique way. Lots of modifications available. Should be a good time. This Sat 4/26. Disco promised left-over caramel protein bars from his hockey prodigies, lol!
COT:
Humility is a gift. Do not be so proud to apologize for an error made. Do not be so proud as to be offended and slighted by every little gnat fart. It probably wasn’t personal, and most importantly, the world does not owe you a thing. Be humble a thankful in the gifts you are given by the Lord. Make the most of them. When you are given a challenge or somehow you get sideways in your life or an unexpected difficulty presents itself, YHC’s advice is this: still yourself; be thankful for the opportunity to right a wrong, to bring yourself closer to God through suffering and perseverance, and to rise like a phoenix from the ashes of a setback presenting a better version of yourself.
