THE END

Moleskine:
Holiday weekend crew came out ready to push it. When Pop Tart and Billy Goat caught sight of the 45lb weight plates waiting for us in the Parking lot, it was like Christmas morning and they just found their favorite toy under the tree. Cold Cuts and Teddy were the lucky ones to find the Plate with the Krazy Glue on the underside for the hairburners. You are welcome. Lex Luthor claimed to have especially enjoyed the Inchworms because his new sneakers were just too shiny – he asked that we rub a little pavement into them. Fire Hazard pushed the pace the entire way, even without backwards running. Loogie put his shoulder through its paces, and thankfully it stayed in in place. Very good to see Cul-de-sac out there. Just a matter of time before Frehley’s EH’s the rest of his/our neighbors.
While the Merkin/Squat jump ladder may have seemed a little out-of-place but it was YHC’s sneaky way of fitting in a workout for a charity I’m involved in. For about 10years I have been helping to raise money for Michael J. Fox Foundation through “Tips for Parkinson’s.” I put together a bartending team for an event in NY that raises money to find a cure for Parkinson’s (The even has raised over $2million in its 10yrs). This year, “Tips” was selected by Jesse Itzler, author of “Living with a Seal,” for the Month of May. On Facebook it is called #wedohardstuff. For each day, there is a workout. For each person who does at least 5 of these workouts during the month of May, they will donate $200 to Team Fox (up to $20,000). So, Thanks to everyone for helping find a cure for Parkinson’s. Stonehenge today counted as two: “#humptydance” which was the ladder, and Saturday’s workout of 40 minutes of anything cardio, #fortybynature.
Thanks for allowing me to lead. It is an honor.
