The past two weeks we discussed Goggins’ first two challenges. Both of them involved digging in your emotional dirt. The point was to identify what’s stopping you from becoming who you want to be.
In Goggins’ telling, it is necessary to callous your mind. For those who find that too harsh or extreme, think of it as building both emotional and mental resilience.
Now, it’s time to get on with it. Challenge #3 (from his book) is this:
The first step on the journey toward a calloused mind is stepping outside your comfort zone on a regular basis. Dig out your journal again and write down all the things you don’t like to do or that make you uncomfortable. Especially those things you know are good for you.
Now go do one of them, and do it again.
The past two weeks I asked you to keep what you wrote to yourself. This week I’m asking you to share. I’ll go first.
I don’t like getting up early. I mean I really don’t like getting up early. So, this week I will be getting up Monday through Friday at 4:30 A.M. to work out. I have done this before, and the transition is rough. But, I know how absolutely necessary it is for me. When I do this, I get my workouts in all week. When I get my workouts in all week, no matter what other shit life throws at me, and it always does, I have a bedrock of having worked out. I took control over one thing, and no one can take it from me. It is a keystone habit for me. I don’t want to drag this off-topic, so I’ll leave it there.
Alright Gliberati, what one thing are you going to do this week to callous your mind?
— • —
I’m not entirely sure why this story, this story, and this story got under my skin more than any other of the recent outrages, but they did. I think it is the forced conformity, suppression of speech and independent thinking, and the gaslighting. I expect it from the CCP even as I loathe it. When it comes from the US government and a respected institution, I just want to grab my torch and pitchfork.
— • —
I don’t know which one of you this is but I’m certain this week’s music is the theme song for at least one of you.
Alright Gliberati, what one thing are you going to do this week to callous your mind?
Drink more gin. Am I doing this right?
Works for me
You do you.
That just calluses my hand.
I am not going to do anything to callous my mind. I am lazy, but patient. As such, I’m going to continue my plan of doing more of what pushes me in the direction I want to go, less of what pulls me backward and in the middle, I’ll do more of the neutral stuff that I enjoy. That’s it. That’s my “secret”.
Although the above is ostensibly simple, figuring out what pushes me in the direction I want to go does requires some research and experimentation. Similarly, figuring out what pulls me backward might require research, experimentation or just a level of honesty that I wasn’t born with.
With the above said, my plan for the next several weekends are:
9/10: Big Cottonwood Marathon (qualify for Boston with a big buffer), 9/17 27 mile hike over the mountains with a 50 pound pack, 9/23 AA50k (10 3.3 mile loops, starting at 8pm), 9/25 Tour of the Rio Grande (100 mile bike ride), 10/1 Mt. Taylor 50k (fairly tough 50k), 10/8 Feral Hog 50k ruck division (I’ll be racing with a 20 pound pack), 10/14 Tortugas Mountain 24 hour challenge (as many 4 mile laps as I can do in 24 hours, probably drinking a beer before each lap (that’s a separate division)), 10/23 either a tough 6 mile foot race or a leisurely 100 mile bike ride, 10/29 Javelina Jundred (100 mile foot race), 11/5 Deadman Peaks 100 miler (another 100 mile foot race), 5/12 White Mesa 50k (fairly easy 32 mile foot race) and then I’m done with my “fucking around” block and am into my serious training for the Bataan Memorial Death March.
FWIW, I highly respect David Goggins, and I can believe that his books and advice help people, but for me, my way of doing things is much easier and appears to get fairly good results.
I find it fascinating that the one Glib you would expect to be a Goggins disciple, isn’t.
Deadlift Day! I know you are all eagerly awaiting the update. 5 rep max wasn’t – I got four up at 240, up from last week’s 235. And my 50 rep total was 10,300 pounds, up from last week’s 10,100 pounds. So, progress.
Goggin’s approach is hard work. Mine is fun.
I suspect you are doing more of his technique than you realize.
Well, I haven’t read any of his books, but AFAICT, I do much of the same stuff, but for different reasons. The three big control knobs I have are: sleep, nutrition and exercise.
Take sleep, for instance: because I’m lazy and also have a huge difficulty with sleep (I’ve had three surgeries for sleep apnea; they took me from would-have-died to yes, you still have apnea, but it’s not that bad), I eventually adopted a policy of having a double-espresso every day at 5:15am Mountain as the start of my day. It is much easier for me to get enough sleep if I’m rock-steady about that (FWIW, I allow myself to get and start my day as early as 4:45am, but not earlier).
I used to keep “programmers’ hours”, meaning that I would get up late, take a little while to get mentally up to speed, then want to keep coding until I couldn’t, which meant I’d get to sleep later than the night before, which would lead to getting up later the following day, along with increasing caffeine amounts. My new regimen is simple, but it does mean that I call it a night much earlier than I would otherwise and by doing so I miss out on a lot of social events.
The nice thing about getting up when I do is it lets me go out and exercise early, but most of my exercise is simply running at a slow enough rate that I get the runner’s high. So I don’t need to callous my mind to get up early, nor do I need to callous my mind to exercise, yet I seem to get fairly good benefits from doing both of those things, along with a lot of fun.
I’m back on night shift – sleep is around 0230-1030 – works pretty well right now (not sure why lighting seems better. I also started melatonin gummies about a month back and that is a lot better and cheaper than my previous occasional nyquil/zzquil.
Go to the gym when I get up – no real issues – then my protein shake when I get home around 1 PM….for whatever reason, the last week or so I really haven’t even felt like eating lunch after my shake before heading to work. Weight hasn’t changed noticeably yet, but we’ll see if it continues the next couple of weeks. Constipation is off and on – normally better when I make a pot of coffee over the weekend – but miralax doesn’t seem particularly effective sometimes several days in a row….
I think the point is that Deadhead is the one Glib who doesn’t need Goggins, he does this on his own.
FWIW, I said hello to him as he passed me in the Moab 240 a couple years ago. He came in second that year (beat by a vegan former model), which is a pretty big achievement. However, he did not finish on his first attempt, but his goal was not merely to finish; it was to slay. My goal was merely to finish and I did so on my first attempt.
Not everyone can be David Goggins, because getting a spot on the podium is a zero-sum game. Tons of people can adopt strategies and tactics to improve their bodies and minds to levels they never would have thought possible and do so while having fun. There are, however trade-offs and many people don’t want to make them, although I think a lot of that has to do with them not recognizing just how big the win can be from various trade-offs.
This applies to many, many things.
It also doesn’t account for the fact that there is more than one podium. The only ONE podium in the world is the President of the United States and as we know, it’s not seating our best and brightest.

Knees are doing a lot better. Hope I can make the next one in Oct my last appt for this issue. Speeding up my interval run. If I can do 6 mph for a while with no pain for 1.5 miles, I’ll be happy. One thing a little weird, seems that even as I’ve been strengthening the muscles around my knees, my knees also seem to feel as though they’re about to tweak if I turn on my heel or bend a little the wrong way while doing simple things around the house…more than before. Also a lot of charley horses at night (maybe just because my air mattress angles down a bit).
Slowly adding to the deadlifts too, but will probably get trainer to re-evaluate posture/movement in a few weeks.
My only son is visiting from Austin. There’s a difference between city people and country people. I am getting a little work out of him but it’s more like Show and Tell.
Hadn’t seen him in a long time, seems like 3-4 years. I’m taking a little hiatus from the exercise regimen and starting to slowly get ready for HH.
He’s signed into the Glib Network but only lurks on occasion.
Do we get to call him Twoscore?
Four Score and Seven.
Wait, that doesn’t make any sense.
Actually he’s a Threescore, just last month
OT because I think it’s been over an hour.
Trimmed a few more branches off my willow again. Weirdly, even after periodic copper anti-fungal spray on my willow, I’m still getting spots on some leaves – but some branches look completely clean…Hoping I don’t have to trim all the branches right before winter, (2nd year), but not sure about good options. I’ll talk to the local nursery I got it from for suggestions and tips for proper mulching. Need to run at least one more line to hold it a little more in position for a while. It was pretty straight for a while, but started getting off axis after I did some earlier trimming this summer. Will probably spray it again next weekend after I mow.
Probably need at least one anchor line to tweak my new American Hornbeam too since it’s just slightly angled since planting – looks like it’s doing pretty good though.
OMG. This could not be any more stereotypical. Note that “high” fever is 100F.
Omicron finally got me after two years of being a COVID hermit. Then, doctors made it worse
It’s a long rant that he can’t get the Pax. It’s perfect considering my son called from college and said he got the ‘Vid. His girlfriend has cold like symptoms he has a pretty good fever and feels like crap. But otherwise doing ok.
Naturally, both were required to be boosted by school.
At the end of July I wound up with a sore throat and slight cough while I was working in San Diego. A little awkward since it was the weekend between our two weeks. I kept it on the D/L because I didn’t want any issues flying home – paranoid, but as a reservist my travel orders were a lot more of a hassle than the active duty folks. Got home and tested negative with one of those free tests from USPS. No issues.
Outside of the body aches from the shot a year ago, that was the “sickest” I can recall being since 2019.
Of course the DoD (and our base) are still playing these stupid games where – if the “counties around you” have higher than average case #s (not hospitalizations) – you have to mask up. So we did that for a week or two…back to normal now. At this point, I’m just rewearing the old cloth masks my mom made for me 2 years ago – loose elastic and all. We only really have to wear them in the halls – once you get into your office/workspace everyone just rips em off.
I guess our military is still all in on covid theater. It’s good to know the SecDef hasn’t learned a thing from his experience.
They aren’t going to until there is a regime change.
I got a nasty cold about three weeks after returning to the office regularly. Sickest I’d been in a long while.
Tested negative multiple times and brands since I’m required to test for work. I just worked at home for a week and nobody said a thing.
I’d swear I had it, but who knows.
That article was hilarious. I’m sure that the Vid must be worse for people who expect it to be the new Black Death. What a way to go through life. I wonder if he wore a mask at the party? I still am amazed but the number of people walking around (both inside and out) wearing masks. It’s disturbing to see people mask their toddlers and little kids (SLD applied). I just got back with taking the kids to Target to spend some of their money and probably about 75% of the kids and adolescents in there were sporting masks. There has to be some long term psychological and social consequences from putting a mask on your kids for their entire childhoods.
They are flat earthers. If you are still wearing a mask, your life does not follow logic or learning.

P.S. It’s nice to know someone clicks the music link.
Not my style, this is more my speed.
If someone told me Tom Waits was Steve Smith, I wouldn’t bat a n eye.
try this: Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings. BJS wrote pretty much every song on the album, formalizing and launching the era of outlaw country
along this line, this Waylon tune remains my anthem
I absolutely love that album, can’t decide if it’s Waylon’s best or possibly Lonesome, O’nry and Mean would be.
I know it’s not your genre of music, but he’s considered a legend because he is a fucking legend. One of a very small group of the absolute most important songwriters in his genre. He helped invent “Outlaw Country”, which is actually an important part of “Americana”. Which, love it or hate it, is a real, and important part of American musical history. To channel our President, he’s a big fucking deal and should be bigger.
TL;DR, just because you don’t like that style of music doesn’t mean he isn’t a big fucking deal.
DON’T TOUCH THE TRIM! There are lots of great things about Texas, and taking NewWife to see Billy Joe play is one of our top twenty moments.
Everyone has a year that is THE authentic year for Austin, and, ever since, it’s been ruined by newcomers. I’ll leave room for lots of opinions on this one, but my window finally closed the last night they recorded ACL in Studio 6A. Lyle Lovett took us out like this.
I love me some Lyle, but more often than not I’d rather get REK’d.

I am, of course, curious about the nature of the boo-boo that caused this. I like to think that I’m anal enough about going over the preliminary reports – check the hours against the time sheet data, check the hourly rate against the previous pay’s rate – that I’d catch something that egregious before the direct deposit actually hit the employee’s account. But if it were something subtle like a wayward decimal point…

That’s a relatively low amount of money to completely uproot your life over.

FTA on woke med schools: At the University of Minnesota, applicants are first told that “our country is reckoning with its history, racism, racial injustice, and especially anti-black racism.” Then they’re asked to share their “reflections on, experiences with, and greatest lessons learned about systemic racism.”
Well, it’s completely racist to assume blacks need the help of government to vote or survive in society.
Wait, was that not right?
“Many colleges are systemically excluding Asians and whites from consideration for enrollment.”
I’m not entirely sure why this story, this story, and this story got under my skin more than any other of the recent outrages, but they did.
Can relate. I have been trying to lay low from the news because it just infuriates me these days. Forced conformity is a problem for me. And ya, we expect it from the Chinamans but not here.
Week 2 of my new routine has concluded successfully. I have never really had an issue getting up early unless I was super hungover. Which I try not to do anymore, so 4 AM workouts have not been a problem. I did some marathon meat grilling today with cocktails so tomorrow may be another issue.
Another shot of Robert Earl
I was at the Telluride Bluegrass festival in 1988. I was recording it for myself and since I had the equipment there, I tried to record everything, even bands (or singer/songwriters) that I wasn’t interested in, per-se. I got back home and listened to his set and was blown away. I’ve had the good pleasure to hear him live a few times since.
Oh and when I was tiny, I lived in Texas and indeed, after church we went to Luby’s. I miss my dad.
Y’know, some days I start to think Amazon Prime might not be worth it.
I am also starting to think that, but my husband runs the numbers. It’s not the shipping alone. It’s the streaming video too. I wish Kindle Unlimited was included.
I don’t care about the video or the music, and I plan my purchases around the free shipping over $25.
Don’t need Prime.
It’s hard for husband to get over the “next-day” part, cuz it ain’t coming next day anymore.
He just reminded me about Thursday night football on Amazon Prime this season.
I like listening on Westwood One, or whatever the syndicator is calling itself these days.
I’ve placed no Amazon orders so far in 2022 and only one in 2021 – a Christmas present for one of my sisters (who keeps a wish list there.) I like to think it helps when I get the fake emails about huge orders having been placed on my account for delivery to total strangers. Check the account, check the credit card, proceed to ignore the attempted scam. So..no, I don’t have Prime.
Don’t think I’ll match my record of no-commercial-air-travel, but it’s a start.
😳 I’ve never had such an email.
I order from Amazon all the time. Esp. food stuffs that are a better price than the same thing at my supermarket.
Yup – found such an email I got last month. Went to copy the text, and suddenly all sorts of previously-invisible text characters showed up. Supposedly an “Apple,.iPad 11 Pro Max Gold” pushing a grand, going to some chick in “San -Antonio TX.” No links, but a couple of phone numbers to call “If you didn’t place this indicated order,” almost certainly so I could give them my CC number and goodness knows how much more personal info. 🙄
P.S. My Amazon orders went way down when I stopped ordering Blu-Rays of the full seasons of Doctor Who.
Tubi>Prime>Netflix
I still have Prime. Some good videos there.
I order from Amazon all the time. It’s easier to order something on Amazon and have it show up in a couple of days that try to find something in town.
As a rural resident, I have to agree. I can make a 50 mile round trip to town or I can let Amazon deliver it in a few days. With Bidengas prices I tend to limit road trips.
Me, too. Jeff Bezos is my friend. I also send gifts that way.

I originally signed up specifically because of prime video, but I don’t watch it much anymore for some reason (like shitty internet).

My brain needs some callousing. I managed to take the entire week off lifting. I could blame injury but I think I caught a case of soft-brain. It irritates me that when set out to do some challenge (30, 60, 75, 90 days) I kill it. But boring old day-to-day is where I struggle. I need to work on that.
I guess the good news is that I got walks/hikes in every day. Yesterday we did a gorgeous hike in Roosevelt National Forest to a place called Blue Lake. The clouds rolled in as we got to the lake, so I got some pretty dramatic photos. It was a fairly mellow 6 miler, but I got my heart rate up a few times.
Today, we drove up to the top of Mt Evans (14,260 feet). The road definitely calloused up my brain a bit. Some sweaty palms and fast heartbeats at a few points.
Totally worth it, though.
I’ve got a lot of shit to square away, so this edition is timely. Thanks for doing these every week. I always get something out of them.

LOL NYCFC is so bad even their castoffs are scoring goals against them. I keep wondering why all the petrodollars at their disposal keep leading to the most pathetically mismanaged team in MLS year after year. The only conclusion I can come to is the owners (including the Yankees) don’t give a shit, and it shows.
Maybe it’s The Producers redux. If they lose enough the owners turn a profit.
I think they’re just a holding pen for various players and managers while the owners decide where to sell them to, or where to put them next at one of their more worthy/profitable teams. At least the other MLS teams, who like all teams practice many of the same things, put on a good show for the fans but this team just seems to hate their fans.

Good morning, Stinky & Sean! Light rain falling outside Tranq Base, but not unpleasant.
Local minor league Dragons won their last two home games of the season! We could’ve seen both as a doubleheader – Saturday night’s game had been postponed because of rain – but it was gawdawfully hot, and the concession stands had run out of prepackaged ice cream (plus the line for the scooped stuff was WAY too long,) so we left after Game 1. Despite the “mostly cloudy” and wearing a wide-brimmed hat, I KNEW I should have put on sunscreen. 🥵
