MOLESKINE:

While not officially 40 years old yet (that happens on Saturday), today was my birthday Q. I needed some help coming up with the plan, and thankfully Battery suggested “Birthday Burpees” at yesterday’s COT. Just making everyone drop down for 40 burpees seemed to simple though, so I resurrected the old Deconstructed Burpee circuit that @BayCity invented up in Concord. Divide the burpee up into it’s seven phases, dedicate a round of tabata to each phase. Simple yet infuriating.

The workout sucked. But the rain mostly held off, and circle time meant we got share/hear all the stories from last weekend’s Time Laps. Sounds like our boys gave it a great effort, and it took a herculean effort (or just swapping out Gordo for Landlord) to beat them.

Thank you all once again for the difference you’ve made in my life. Getting to know so many men who are thriving at 40 and beyond is a great reassurance as I start a new decade.
