Slam Dancing

3 scoffed at the thought of rain interfering with a manly start to the day.  Muscles stretched.  Things were lifted.  Other things were thrown or slammed.  It was a glorious morning.  I'll take 60F and light rain any day of the week, especially with my bros.

#QFail to start things off.  I was about to walk out the door when our old pooch waddled down the steps.  She needed coaxing and apparently 5 minutes to do her business outside.  Then, I forgot to add 5 extra minutes to the morning jog in because I was carrying a new special friend to share, a 30# TRX slam ball….muahahaha  Arrived a couple minutes late, sorry guys.

Reflection:  Psalms 1:1
1 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked
  or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
  which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—
  whatever they do prospers.
– Whose company do you share?  In what do you find delight?  On what do you ponder/meditate?
– Adjust where needed.  Yield fruit.  Prosper.
– Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth

** another blessed morning where the heavy storms seemed to stop around 5:15 and start back up around 6:30
** SlamBall = good.  I could tell it went over well when Mater said it was good enough to make him want to buy one.  Success!
** T-claps to the guys for offering me and the SlamBall a ride home.  I felt it was necessary to break in the SlamBall and make sure it had no doubt who the boss was by moseying home with it proudly on my shoulder.
** T-claps to Strudel for hurling the SlamBall like a boss.  Very explosive.
** T-claps to Mater for quadraphelia beasting up the hill when I was carrying the SlamBall.  He found another gear!
** Extra t-claps to Mater for noticing that counting faster/slower may have something to do with form and range of motion.  Hadn't really thought about that in awhile, but it is a tried and true notion.
** We all were feeling the solid workouts from the last two days at the beginning.  Felt good to move and loosen up a little.
** great effort by everyone, cardio + arms + slamball = good

Big honor to lead you guys.  Get 'er done in life today.
