It’s a New Year

Rest and recover.  Play outside.  Many new experiences await us all.

What we do here is hard work and we all enjoy, eventually,  this brotherhood of suffering.  I have found many inspiring quotes during the past year.  I found this one recently and it spoke to me about the kind of people who show up for our workouts every day.

“It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who
are willing to endure pain with patience.”
– Julius Caesar
