COT:
I talked about reaching out to our families and relatives more. We all get very busy with our families and kid activities. My father passed away a little over a year ago. He was young at the age of 77. The average person lives until about 78. I recently saw someone talking about how often they see their parents. If my mom is 76 now and I see her once a month. Am I going to be okay with only seeing her 24 more times in my life. That really made me think about making more of an effort to see our family that we don’t see as often. I encouraged everyone to make some more efforts to see the ones we love more frequently. We never know when they will leave us but regret of not doing more is something we will have to live with the rest of our lives. I may have not seen my Dad as much as I would have liked, but I called him almost every day. Now that call is missing in my life.

We had a good turnout considering if was very humid and the temps rose to about 100 degrees later that day. A few mentioned they felt like they could have puked. So I guess I did my job of pushing everyone. We had an FNG that we named Pork Chop. He likes to smoke meat and grill. Gordon’s brought him out.
The flow of the workout seemed to workout well. I was worried about not having enough time so I only did two rounds of Thang #1. We would of had plenty of time to do a third round. I ended up adding some more sprints with the extra time in Thang #3. For Thang#2 I did a few 10 counts for the last few rounds as I could tell a few PAX were getting gassed. I also wanted to keep us together. I challenged the group on the last round. If anyone beat me on the 50 yard sprint that they could pick what we do for the 50 yards back. Gordon’s beat me by a few steps, or maybe I let him. He initially joked about doing crawl bears. There was a collective sigh from the group and then we ended up doing Bernie Sanders back. Everyone seemed much happier with that option. For thang #3, the 2 laps around for the Bernie Sanders were felt in my legs later that day.
We did Coupon work outside of the turf field as I did not want to damage the Turf.
