Thang 1
Lamp post 16s around the short loop. Curls and single arm rows (both sides). Farmer carry / rifle carry in between lamp posts.

Thang 2
Move to Cooties for spittoons. First we did 400 thrusters. Then we simultaneously did 300 pull ups and 600 dips on the parallel bars.

Thang 3
A little bit of Mary, since we had mostly avoided getting wet up until this point:

  • In and outs
  • Bicycles forwards
  • Bicycles backwards
  • Hip rock and raise
  • Heels to the heavens

Moleskine:
"Beware the soul sucking power of reasonableness" from The Power of Moments.
When you have the opportunity to make a moment special, put a little extra effort to make it memorable. On our ski trip this weekend, we had planned on going to the waterpark in the early evening. For various reasons, we weren’t able to get to the water park until an hour before it closed. We could have decided not to go at all and we still would have had a fun day overall, but decided to go ahead with paying too much money for an hour at the water park and ended up having a ton of fun. Emilia rode a big kid slide with me for the first time, and went absolutely bananas with adrenaline fueled excitement. It’s a special memory we wouldn’t have had if we were more reasonable and skipped out on the water park.

COT:

  • @Glowstick’s friend undergoing surgery for cancer
  • @Sampler’s cousin’s daughter whose cancer treatment isn’t working
