Weekend Rest!


Good week of training, eat well, get some rest, stay hydrated!

Friday


"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that will he reap...Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart."
Galatians 6:7-10

Thursday


Active Recovery:

Swim 2000m

or

Free running - a discipline to self development through the complete freedom of movement created by following your own way whilst using the environment to develop yourself and to always keep moving, but never retreating backwards.

Get outside and move freely over walls, through alleys, in the trees, through the water, negotiating whatever obstacles present themselves...

"Fortitude is the moral virtue that ensures firmness in difficulties and constancy in the pursuit of the good. It strengthens the resolve to resist temptations and to overcome obstacles in the moral life. The virtue of fortitude enables one to conquer fear, even fear of death, and to face trials and persecutions. It disposes one even to renounce and sacrifice his life in defense of a just cause."

Wednesday


"Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep--So shall poverty come to you like a prowler, And your need like an armed man."
