The WOD (Workout of the Day.) The enemy pales in comparison.
If they do not, it is not hard enough.

Some observations from Jon Gilson of Again Faster
A Few Truths
1.) It is always possible to work harder. Not necessarily longer or more often—just harder.
2.) If you try to accomplish everything, you won’t accomplish anything. Pick a single goal, and dedicate yourself to achieving that goal.
3.) The further you go from your home gym, the more likely you are to run into someone who is faster, stronger, and more powerful than you. Travel, and bring your humility.
4.) You must surround yourself with those who share and support your goals. If your friends scoff when you leave for the gym at 5 a.m., get new friends.
5.) You cannot coach yourself. “Coaching by mirror” is a great way to know what a movement looks like and a horrible way to know what a movement feels like.
6.) You need to analyze your training, qualitatively and quantitatively. If you don’t know why you’re doing what you’re doing, stop doing it.
7.) On a related note, human beings are capable of rationalizing anything. If you go looking for proof that you’re on the right track, you’ll find it.
8.) Easy fixes are few and far between. If it’s easy, chances are it’s incorrect, incomplete, or both.
9.) It is human nature to get where you want to be and immediately stop doing the things that got you there. This is a fantastic way to stay right where you are.
All lessons can’t be bright and cheery. Get rid of the crap that’s holding you back, and have the courage to realize that a healthy dose of self-criticism can go a long way toward making you a better athlete. We all need a kick in the ass once in a while.

The WOD - FRI, 06MAR09
One round of"Breathing Ladders":
Breathing ladders require a weight, movement and rep to breath ratio.
Establish a rep to breath ratio, i.e. do one rep followed by one breath,
then do two reps followed by two breaths, three reps followed by three
breaths, etc. until you have gone up and back down the "ladder".
Breathe as much as you want while working. Breathe only the specified number of "reps" while resting. The goal is to accomplish a high work volume executed at moderate-to-low intensity while maintaining control of your breathing.
