Mosey back to the field

• Black Jack – The entire group, run ~40 yards perform 1 merkin – run back – perform 20 LBCs. Run back and do 2 merkins. Run back for 19 LBCs. Repeat until you do 20 merkins and 1 LBC, running between the sidewalks. Always adds up to 21 – BLACK JACK!  Unfortunately, we were unable to finish.

Announcements:  Donatello reminded Sweaty Palms that he was old on his birthday Q.  At least that’s what I think he said; he was out of breath!  

Closing prayer – Sweaty Palms

Moleskin:  Some of us have been battling joint issues (my self-included) for the last several months.  The important thing is we continue to push ourselves in a responsible way while we recuperate.  Kardashian and I were talking prior to the start today about the number of people in their 40-50 that could attempt what we have been doing.

The President’s Council of Fitness, Sports and Nutrition says this:

• Less than 5% of adults participate in 30 minutes of physical activity each day; only one in three adults receive the recommended amount of physical activity each week.
• More than 80% of adults do not meet the guidelines for both aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities, and more than 80% of adolescents do not do enough aerobic physical activity to meet the guidelines for youth.

We are all 5%’ers!

Hard work pays off.  I am grateful for the PAX; I feel I am accumulating a debit that I will never be able to repay.  Thanks (disclaimer: not only am I not a professional trainer, I am not an ordained minister.  I am just a man who is trying very hard to improve myself).

Here’s to 51 more!
