A Simple Light Pole Ladder

Weather Conditions: 62°

8 strong pax in total did the harder thing this morning and were rewarded with phenomenal weather, with 3 arriving early for some extra miles.  Based on feedback that YHC’s last workout was overly complex, the plan today was to follow the KISS method and dumb this thing down to a satisfactory level.  This strategy comes very naturally to some, and YHC is not above admitting defeat to the otherwise lethargic and artless minds of the world.  An honest attempt was made by combining a familiar go-to with three simple exercises.  All in all, work was done and the pax got better.  As for the workout, here is how it went:

Devo:  Keep Accelerating

Hard times create strong men
Strong men create good times
Good times create weak men
Weak men create hard times

Whatever point you may be at, keep accelerating.  Do not let good times cause you to lose focus, nor let hard times stop you from persevering through.
