It's Saturday which means it's "Spartan SAVAGERY Saturday".
Every Saturday leading up to the Spartan 30 Mile Ultra Race, I've programmed in a nasty, physical and mental test.
Each week has been getting just a bit worse and worse.
This AM I hit "5 Miles The Forged Way" which is a simple 5 mile run BUT...
You start with 10 Burpees, 15 Bodyweight Squats, and 20 Push Ups.
Then, every 5 minutes thereafter, you have to stop running and repeat the same from above until you finish the 5 miles.It really starts to add up.
I got about half way into it and the bodyweight movements no longer felt like "rest".
It honestly became an all out war both physically and mentally.
My legs were burning like crazy.
My calves were screaming at me.
Even my shoulders started to get blasted from all of the Push Ups and Burpees.
I ended up finishing in an hour and 3 minutes.
SLOW, but steady.
I never stopped to walk.
I never stopped period.
Just slow and steady and that was the focus.
NO STOPPING.
NO QUITTING.
People have asked me WHY I'm doing this 30 Mile Spartan Race in Oct???
I'm doing it for the test.
I'm doing it to TEST myself.
To test my body and my mind.
To see what I'm truly made of.
I'm NOT doing it to prove anything to anyone else.
I could care less what other people think.
I'm doing it to PROVE to myself that I'm capable to push through something that scares the shit outta me.
Something that I've NEVER done before.
This 5 mile run was rough.
I can only imagine what those 30 miles are going to feel like...
Bring it on mothafucka.
I want the challenge.
I want the test.
As should YOU.
Don't ask for easy.
Easy won't change you.
Take on the hard shit.
The shit that forces you to change, build, and grow.
The shit that shoves you right out of your comfort zone.
That shit that forces you to raise the bar.
Because it's either rise above and adapt or fade away and die.
Push forward or quit.
What do YOU choose?
What are you doing in LIFE right now to PROVE this?
REFUSE AVERAGE.
