Empty Threats

Empty Threats

My 6 year old’s teacher asked the class: “Why is it important to learn to read?”

My son responded: “So when it’s time to go to jail you can read the letter they send you that tells you to go to jail”.

It made me realize that maybe I make too many empty threats since my kids expect that one day they will go to jail. I threatened a heavy lifting day and based on my shoulder soreness already I hope this threat was warranted.

Disclaimer then let everyone know that I’m injured (both legs) and we would not do much running – we didn’t

The Thang: 

Ran to Gazebo – (found out the light switch is now locked up! Dangit – Horsehead – what is going on with management? Did the new pastor do this?!?)

This was our warmup – no circle time

One station per PAX then rotate clockwise:

10. Burpees

We made it around 3 times so we all got a good burn. 

Ready Mix, Cotton Tail, Lex Luthor and Swiss Miss led us in some Mary to finish off the abs.

MOLESKINE

Everyone was dilligent and focused this morning. We all debated pulling a last minute BRR team and meeting you guys halfway through the course and pretend like we were there the whole time. Lex Luthor said we should just drive and taunt everyone – there was some mention of “bare asses against glass” drivebys. Again, all empty threats.

No real speed leaders or anyone pushing harder than anyone else. Everyone went hard the whole way through. Mad had some excellent KB Swing form, going for single-hand swings with a 45lb bell, Big League Chew (R) was killing the burpees on the last round, Tackling Dummy busted the Slam Ball open – he was angry, Squid had the most perfect form on all exercises, I would expect nothing less out of this guy.

Said a prayer for the BRR guys – praying you guys glorify HIM this weekend and everyone stay safe.
