@Ball Boy and @Shandy channeled their inner Richard Simmons yesterday with bold claims of the calories they would help you burn this morning. I can make no such claim about tomorrow’s BC. Here’s what I can tell you
-bring a coupon or sandbag to lift-be ready to explore the space as a group like Will Ferrell with a cowbell
-do I really need to tell grown a@@ men to wear shoes? Do or don’t. Up to you
-this will be full body focused with some cardio-45 minutes of intense work and sweat
See you in the morning

Circle of Trust
So much going on in this world right now that has been weighing on me and I think everyone else right now. We are bombarded with a lot of tough topics daily. The war in Ukraine (hearing the impact on Snowden’s family and all those experiencing made a big impact on us Wednesday). Serena talked recently about a friend’s daughter who got 270 mean text messages before her first day of school from a fellow classmate. Seems like everywhere you go people are on edge, getting bullied or just filled with frustration/anger.
I watched a documentary on Hulu called Jesus Music. In there someone said faith is not passed down automatically. We have to be urgent to experience growth. Urgent in growing our faith AND passing it down to the younger generations. In doing so the love, joy, peace and kindness of our faith can be life changing for our kids and other kids.
We wake up early to work our butts off to stay in fit. Do we have the same urgency and put in the same work to develop our faith? That question left me thinking about how I can get better in this area of my life. Something for all of us to think about as we go about our days.
Prayed for Cable Guy’s daughter, Caitlin (broken collarbone and sorry if I spelled her name incorrectly), friend of Daisy about to have a double masectomy, Cousin Eddie and his family and Hot Box’s continued fight against cancer. Took a few moments of silence for prayers on our hearts. Closed with an Our Father.
Naked Man Moleskin
If anyone needs a bear crawl tudor call Cable Guy or Gordon’s. I think they are part grizzly bear with the way they zoomed up and down the field. Gordon’s got even faster once he took his shoes off.
Thanks to everyone for going hard for 45 minutes. Also much appreciation to all the guys for not complaining about me breaking the Friday Funday tradition at The Launchpad.
Thanks to Doback for being such a great Site Q. Got some solid action videos and cleaned up my language in the FOMO BB he sent out. I wanted to rename it F@ck you up Friday but he creatively rebranded it to Freakshow Fridays.
