You need to think less and do more. Trust your training and don’t overthink the process. You’re capable of a lot more than you think.

More like my hip flexors and quads. They were just dead from the squats. I didn’t have any drive up out of the lunge.

Some extra mobility today and a nice epsom salt bath will do the trick!

First day back this week, had a ton of physical tests at work for the q-course this week including PT test Tuesday and 12-mile ruck yesterday (5-mile run next week). PRed my 2-mile run at 13:36. 12-mile ruck didn’t PR but still good. Tore up my body a good bit so took everything a little light today and adjusted the Metcon to avoid the massive blister on my foot rubbing during the Row
