Hero WOD – “Bradley”

The weather was an unseasonably warm 49 degrees when 19 PAX rolled into Arrowhead this morning. The warmer temps increased energy levels and eagerness to work amongst the men

Mumble chatter was non existent this morning.  However, there was loads of encouragement and high fives between PAX throughout the AO. This was a challenging routine(one that will be repeated) and I am proud of each of you.  Sweat was dripping and layers were being shed.  Strong work!

Time was called with only 1 PAX completing all 10 rounds.  PAX returned to their groups and lined up for another run back to our starting point.  Because we have some machines among us, it was decided to not return the way we came.  Up “burp back hill” we went, in a little faster than mosey pace along the sidewalks surrounding the athletic fields and back to the track. We were thankful for the downhill portion of this route

Walk a little slower daddy said a child so small.

I’m following in your footsteps and I don’t want to fall

Sometimes your steps are very fast, sometimes they are hard to see

So walk a little slower daddy for you are leading me.

And I would want to lead just right and know that I was true

So walk a little slower daddy for I must follow you.

This was a little poem my son’s daycare sent home when he was a year or two old for father’s day. I keep this in my phone and read it often to remind myself of the responsibilities I have to my children.  Some days are definitely more difficult than others.  Even though this poem was directed at fathers it has other applications for other roles.  Whether its at work or our social groups, people are watching us to see if we “practice what we preach.” We are all leaders in some area of our life.  I challenge you to lead by example today, this week and through out the coming year!
