YHC took us out. Maximum gratitude.

8 dudes; one was unhappy at the lack of burpees. Two ran in and ran out. All gave this simple but effective workout their best. Can’t think of a better way to start a Monday morning.

Read today’s News of the Nation if you have not. This portion hit me:

As we talked about our sons leading the future generations, he helped remind me that we set their course. “It all comes down to what we do. We can want our boys to have less screen time or to be more active, but ultimately it comes down to us. They are going to do what we do. We have to model it. It can’t be fake, they can sense inauthenticity a mile away. Boys really need fathers to challenge them and bring them up. You have to be who you want your sons to be. I want my son to be happy and healthy. I want him to be outdoors and I want him to accept and welcome challenge and encouragement from other men.”

To quote Stan Lee: ‘nuff said.

Schlitz, I neatly placed the keys under the 3rd block from the left, front row.
