What a journey it has been! For 13 consecutive days, I had the honor and privilege of leading you all. We did everything from obstacle courses to magic-themed exercises to snake-themed circuits. We pushed ourselves and each other to the limit and beyond. We also had a lot of fun, laughter and camaraderie along the way. Here are some of the things that stood out to me from this experience:
- It’s a good idea to write down the names of the participants, as it saves time and helps remember who was there.
- It’s rewarding to try something new or nerdy, as it adds variety and spice to the workouts and keeps things interesting.
- It’s essential to take care of ourselves in between days and rest well on Sunday, as it helps us recover from the increased aches and pains and prevents injuries.
- Change is good, as it challenges us to adapt and grow and prevents boredom and complacency.
- Hootie is a great source of hard time, as he keeps us on our toes and makes us laugh. If he’s not giving us a hard time, it’s either because Solo Cup is on vacation or he’s in a coma.
- Cobra was not a hit not because of the acting or story, but because of the soundtrack. We learned to appreciate the finer aspects of cinematic art and culture.
- Mullet has the right idea, bring a headband.
- Change of clothes is a must for the summer months.
- Kojak’s dance moves are hypnotizing. We learned to admire and respect his talent and flair.
- Some exercises should be purged from the Exicon.
- I am grateful for the encouragement, support and prayers.
- I was inspired by the example of others.
- I learned from others.
- I was humbled by others.
- I laughed with others.
- I love these men, as they are my brothers in arms. We share our struggles and triumphs.
