Life is hard. Choose your hard. Marriage? Hard. Divorce? Hard. Fitness? Hard. Obesity? Hard. Debt? Hard. Discipline? Also hard. You can’t avoid hard, but you can choose your hard. Choose wisely.

I hope the workout is the hardest thing you do today. Maybe, maybe not. But when you train hard, you’re more prepared for the hard things life throws at you. You’re building strength and resiliency now to access later. Keep pushing.

Aye!

How many of us have said something we wish we could take back? I know I’ve burned bridges and hurt feelings because I didn’t control my words. It happens, but we should strive to reduce the frequency by being slow to anger and biting our tongues. Words have the power to build or break. You can’t take back toxic talk and bitter babble. “Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity” – Proverbs 21:33.

Let’s keep that in mind when frustrated at work or when arguing with loved ones. What has been said cannot be unsaid. Sometimes silence is best.

Aye!

Block Party Beatdown

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, windmill, cherry pickers, navy seal burpees (10 count movement)
THE THANG:
Mosey to Walter Elisha
Run to each park bunch and do 5 Navy Seal Burpees. Wait for the 6 to finish then run to next bench together.

Once we reached the grassy hill, we ascended the hill with various MOTs:
Run
Nur
Bear Crawl
Crawl Bear
Burpee broad jump
At top of hill, accumulate as many squats as you can until the 6 reaches top of hill. Careful descent down the hill.

Continue our mosey down the path to remaining park benches.

Mosey back to Massey hill – lunge to top parking lot where we did merkins, calf raises, and proved to ourselves we got better at navy seal burpees.

MARY: yes and we shared the areas of our lives we need help in
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yes
COT: had to be there
