Yep, it is a long workout today. I know, you will be annoyed with me, but, in 21 days, you will be astounded at your final kick, and how you took the early pace. The idea is to beat you up a bit, and then, take some more shots at you. You need to embrace the pain, knowing that you body is asking, “Can you take it?”.

You can, or I would not have given it to you. Take one piece at a time, and jog when I say jog. Work when I say work.
Breathe in, breathe out. You are alive.
