“What alternative opportunities, 
interpretations and paths am I not seeing?” 
They’re always there, but you’ve got to choose to see them.

We have jumped through spring and there is definitely work to be done. The best part, kids, families, teaching, learning...big changes with the team, making a difference, makes every day shine just a little brighter. Great team practice this morning. Eager faces, excited for the new and looking ahead. Really getting into the new swim programming. YES!

Again, 3 hours on deck and ahhhh my turn ;-).

Swim
800 yds continuous

CFE guidelines for this swim was suppose to be at 85% of 500TT, but felt so good today. I hit my 500 under TT @ 8:13. Slowed it down for the last 300 total time 14:44. Overall nice swim, good flow.

WOD
5x15 Push Press 25#, 30 second rest between sets

Lose the FEAR

You must do the thing you think you cannot do. ~Eleanor Roosevelt
#TRUST30
Is fear holding you back from living your fullest life and being truly self expressed? Put yourself in the shoes of the you who’s already lived your dream and write out the answers to the following:

Is the insecurity you’re defending worth the dream you’ll never realize?
or the love you’ll never venture? or the joy you’ll never feel?
Will the blunder matter in 10 years? Or 10 weeks? Or 10 days? Or 10 minutes?
Can you be happy being anything less than who you really are?

Now Do. The Thing. You Fear.


How could the answers be anything other than NO! Action - Overcome the hesitation. It's not as bad as you think it is.
