Getting annoyed again by how work is turning out - which reinforces one of the few important lessons my colleague reminded us of - trust no one but yourself. And all that just suddenly made me tired out, hence, the below average workout today. WOD 30 shoulder presses 30 high pulls 30 push ups At least the festivities are here soon - will pack in some intervals & the beach!
