Tonight,
like most New Years Eve nights,
i will celebrate via sweat and stillness
the outgoing year and welcome the new one.
Historically, some of my most intense workouts have occurred on my
New Years Eve Workout Rituals...including ascents of some of the most
difficult peaks, ice climbs, and ski traverses available on Turtle Island.
Often, i would combine doing Repetitions of Snowshoe Intervals or Nordic Ski Intervals; one for each year passing and another for each year upcoming...
each interval celebrated with a sip of champagne or beer...until the libation
froze solid in the night-time cold!
that was then,
this is now...
I have planned for tonight a milder version of my now infamous New Years Eve Workout
Ritual...even this relatively 'tame version' of my Ritual is not a Workout to pass off lightly!
DON'T MISS THIS TRADITIONAL WF WORKOUT TO BRING IN YOUR NEW YEAR!
ONLY FOR DL SUBSCRIBERS!
otherwise,
allow me to in-Courage you to do something Special tonight;
just make sure no Resolutions are made independent from the
Two Things Which Matter Most:
1) Sweat
and
2) Stillness.
See you next year, and thank you for your travels along this humble,
powerful Path.
your loving coach
