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.
