BLACK BEETLE 8.4.10

what i've found is that the mind and body have an amazing ability to adapt and find the path of least resistance when it comes to physical and mental exhertion. the learning curve is shorter thatn one might think. in other words, our bodies want to be, and we are naturraly programmed to be efficient.

the ability to push thru pain is something i'm obviously still working on and today's first section of swings and burpees was definitely good practice.
...finding mentors within your training partners, local community, and cyberspace is a wise place to start. it seems as though there are many knowledgable groups or individuals out there if one has the desire to learn..
