I’m training to do the splits. Learning about flexibility. I’ve learn a lot of flexibility comes from the central nervous system (aka your brain). So, even though I can’t split now, could I do it if I were under anesthesia (aka knocked out) or dead?

Did a long workout today and sparing with a new friend who’s a Navy Seal. Three things I learned. 1. tough guys exist. And I’m happy they do! 2. There are levels to this fitness and mental toughness game. 3. I am not at that level. Was fun, eye opening, inspiring.
