• Workout: 
• Yesterdays and todays workouts have been pure mental grinds. I did the burpee pullups on my new rings, outside on a local jungle gym in 10 degree weather and in a couple inches of snow. The entire front of my sweatshirt and sweatpants were frozen hard as a rock. Burpees were all done chest to deck which surprisingly was easier in the snow which was pretty forgiving on the wrists. Chin got above parallel on each pullup. Rings were within arms reach so did deadhang pullups.
• The run was tough, my legs started cramping up and my hamstrings were hurting. It was a mental challenge to finish but there was no way in hell that I wasn't.
• In the grand scheme of things, this was my kind of workout, a complete mental battle. I may not be the fastest or strongest but I tend to do well in the mental toughness type of workouts.
