Never under estimate your potential! What a difference a year makes! Last year (2018) I was lazy, ambiguous and overweight. Today I am inspired, lighter, focused and a little sore. For today was my one year Postiversary. I never thought that after my first work out of nearly splashing merlot and being unable to walk that I would be out here just about 100 posts later. Now I crave it, need it and feel lethargic without it.
Weather: 30’s, breezy and damp terrain from the previous day’s rain
Pax (16): Pelican, Jolly Rancher, Back Flop, Smalls FNG, LePew, Capt Crunch Berry, Holy Roller(R), Jewel, Asian Zing (R), Mama’s Boy, Brown Water, Wildflower, Fructose, Hush Puppy, Cratchit, Gisele (Q)
Started out with an enthusiastic welcome, salute to the FNG and disclaimer that I am not a professional, anything I say and do is merely a suggestion, please modify as needed..aye? After some mumble chatter and a short Mosey to the back of the church we circled up for COP and stretching.

Time to turn the worst card game there is of Phase 10 into today’s main course. PAX partner up to draw to cards from the bag 50 yards away. Each card has a color and number that corresponds to an exercise that they team up to complete. With the WILD CARD bringing some extra pain

5 Minutes left and it was time to pass the torch to Lew Pew for his challenge of 100 flutter kicks. Finished with a minute of Superman to soak the rest of the dampness off the grounds and into our clothing.
Name-O-Rama including our FNG which we gave Jobu for his competitive whiffle ball play with Le Pew (name change possibly pending with confirmation)

Intentions
Thinking of our brothers and sisters who are nursing back to good health.
Today I wanted to leave my friends with a message about the importance of the team – and picking up others. Reality is that I put work first, before my health, before my family, before my friends. I tried to work out, I tried to be a good friend, and I tried to be a good father. When you are unfocused and not surrounded by those who pick you up and keep you accountable you tend to fail. Bird reminded me the other day that he remembers Christmas Eve Mass in 2018 and how Le Pew was making the pitch to me about coming out to the gloom. Finally after several messages he got me there.
Love him or hate him Bill Belichick always preaches and lives by the moto the team is greater than the man and no man is greater than the team. Without this team of brothers I would be no man. On this team of men we accomplish our goals, we left up each other, our communities and neighbors. At times things might get wild, you might get the wrong card. When it does put out your hand for help and put out your hand too help. No man is more powerful than the men of the team.
