Waiter asked “Are you sure? Are you going home today or catching another flight?” And he just said “it’s okay, I’m Irish” in the most mid-West American accent.

Did 10km first fully (70m30s). Then took 5 min break and then PU, SU, squats in order (17m30s). I felt AWFUL after lol. But today I continue to feast and rest. I’ve eaten so many eggs today lmao.

I broke it into 5 even sets, but should’ve taken advantage of my squats and pushups being really strong.

In general, I don't like this direction. I don't like D&D pushing recurring subscription fees and I especially don't like when content is gated behind it.
