Keeping the KB off the ground
All Highlands BackblastsJune 8th, 2020
Only 2 Respect PAX, with over 100 years of living experience, for a Monday mettle where the humidity could have been cut with butter knife. @snape and YHC got to know each other a little more and shared stories about our early days as teachers. The teaching profession has given us a lot, but the best gift has been our wives which we met at our respective schools! Even though YHC left the profession in 2000, the M is still a teacher after a 15 year pause in order to stay at home with our kids. We are both very passionate about education. She will be starting her re-starting her teaching career at Irvin Elementary in the fall. Thank you @snape for what you are doing for our community as a teacher and role model. But we also love having you around more now that you have a more flexible schedule.
Following half a$$ disclaimer, and plenty of chatter in full swing, we moseyed around the parking lot almost running into one another a few times since YHC’s directions were not very good. Every every bones and muscles in the body were hurting. We then circled, more line line up with 2 people, for warmarama.

- Thank you @snape for joining me this morning! If I hadn’t signed up to Q, I would have remained in bed. And if you didn’t show up, i would have gone back home.
- Thank you @snape for pushing me this morning. My motivation was very low this morning so having you push yourself also pushed me.
- That KB never leaving your hands and/or never resting on the ground is no joke!
- YHC dropped a few pds of sweat this morning. That humidity was nasty.
- Still missing a lot of our PAX we haven’t seen in a while. If you are still not comfortable being around others, we understand and support. If that is not the case, then ask yourself these questions;
- Am I exercising more now that I am not doing F3 than before?
- Have I been able to keep my weight down or even lose a few pds to show around the pool and beach for the summer?
- Am I eating better than pre-Covid?
- Am I as motivated to exercise now that I do it alone? Or am I even exercising? Beer drinking is not exercising.
- What is my excuse for not showing up? Only I can control getting out of bed!
- If you haven’t done so, reach out to a few PAX we haven’t seen in a while to check on them to make sure they are ok. @chavez, @tootsie, @overdraft, @tiny dancer, @dime back, @buffalo bill, @bromance, @bos, etc.
- Prayers for @dutch boy who is still recovering and remain on IR for a few more weeks. Can’t wait to have you back out there. We miss you and the SUG also misses you 🙂
- Prayers for our country right now! Lots of hate and anger that only love and understanding can solve.
- A pleasure to lead as always.
