DAY 30 — THIRTY DAYS IN, STILL MOVING FORWARD

Kia ora whānau — Jamie here.a

Day 30.

No celebration.
No checkpoint photo.
No easing up.

Just another day where the body is asked to do what it’s been training for.

Thirty days in, the novelty is gone.
What’s left is habit, discipline, and intent.

Today’s focus was simple:
Move, carry, and work — without needing motivation.

Because in real life, motivation doesn’t show up on schedule.

NOTES / REFLECTION

Strength felt steady — not forced

Carries remain the great equalizer

Vest work taxed the lungs more than muscles

Ruck closed the session mentally, not physically

Thirty days doesn’t make you ready.
It makes you consistent.

And consistency is what carries you through the next seventy.

No finish line yet.
Just forward motion.

Endure.
