The joy of the sabbatical. I’m excited this week as my wife and I are going on vacation. My prayer for the trip is that I’m able to reconnect with where I was on the deployment. That I’m able to step back and take a bird’s eye approach to life and see if I likeContinue reading “Rolling Reflections 23”

Week 5 Average to Savage 2.0 Workout: I’m always impressed how quickly my endurance comes back.

Dan John often talk about the balance between Work, Rest, Play and Pray. I’ve been overly focused on the work component and I can feel the toll of neglecting the other aspects of my life. This weekend I was able to get a little rest, and I always find it curious that when I’m soContinue reading “Rolling Reflections 18”
Training 9.22.20
Week 4 Average to Savage 2.0 Workout: this week felt much better than last week. There was a day last week where I could only hit the rep minimum. This week things really improved from a muscular conditioning standpoint. Pushing the lifts beyond 2 over the Rx’d reps created more soreness today than I expected.Continue reading “Training 9.22.20”

My reading habit has been lacking as of late and I’m a little disappointed in my lack of productivity over the weekend. Only thing to do is review what happened and move forward.

Training 9.15.20
Week 3 Average to Savage 2.0 Workout: Last week I felt trashed and it extended into the first workout of this week. I’m not certain why I hit a wall. I think it was throwing an extra training session in. Worked up to 415×6 on squat, 265×8 on bench, and 430×10 on deads. I stillContinue reading “Training 9.15.20”

The past couple weeks I’ve been going through books on finding purpose. I think this has been challenging as I’ve found marginal fulfillment out of my current role at work. I’m not sure if this is the result of not continually working on improvement of the services that I’m offering. If I’m not in anContinue reading “Rolling Reflections 15”

There tends to be a benefit of being busier. You often increase productivity by having limited time. This helps with procrastination. That being said it’s nice being able to relax. I think there was a saying about the perfect day being 8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of work and 8 hours of recreation. IContinue reading “Rolling Reflections 14”

David Foster Wallace speaks on the monotony of life in his speech This is Water. I’ve found this to be a struggle more recently. This in combination with reading How Will You Measure your life has caused me to pause and reflect. I consistently find that I’m saying yes to things. I’m finding the importanceContinue reading “Rolling Reflections 13”

What do you do when you don’t want to compromise on quality. I think the choice I’ve continued to see is you can leave, stay and bitch or build something better. Leadership continues to appear to be a rare quality. If you really want something to get done, you often have to put in theContinue reading “Rolling Reflections #12”
