The Thang
Using the path, we moseyed to the pool side hill with our coupons. There, we did 20 reps of coupon ex’s at the bottom the ran up the hill for 20 LBC’s. The ratio to coupon exercise to hill run/LBC’s started as 1:1 and then moved to 3:1( three coupon exercises to 1 hill run and American Hammers this round). Once that round 2 was completed, we did a 3 merkin ring of fire before heading back to the flags.
Mary was Broga and a nice progression hitting hamstrings, quads, calves, low back.
Circle of Trust
When I heard this, it stuck with me. It’s something I’m motivated to avoid and what drives me to maintain health throughout aging.
This one is called making a memory a day
It’s a conversation between two brothers sitting on a porch at the edge of a river in Montana and the monologue goes like this
…”now, if you quantify making it by the things you can afford, then this place is making it..,
We’re sitting there on the beach , watching all these couples walk by, we’re the youngest there by 2 decades , I mean every one is in their 70s and 80s, barely waddle across the sand, all covered up in their big hats and their long sleeves shirts..they’ve made it…,but their bodies are too old to enjoy it…they flew half way around the world and were too old and crippled to swim in the water, run in the sand, make love, none of it..they finally made it , and they were all to old to create a single memory …and they knew it…it was on every one of their faces..
Saw em at the restaurant, same thing, not a smile among em, because they knew they worked their whole lives for that moment..,the moment already passed them by…”
Naked Man Moleskin
Thanks to the OG’s that showed. Good effort by all. Keeping it simple is always a good recipe.
