WARMUP:
Moseyed to front parking lot for some stretching. We also introduced Oak Ridge Hwy to the Monkey Humper.

THE THANG:
Visited each section of the parking lot where the PAX guessed the number of spots. Each section was assigned an exercise, and the reps determined by how far off the PAX guess was from the actual number of spots.

Workout attached.

Found a few parking spots I missed as we made our way around campus.

COT:
Shared a situation with my 2.0s where I didn’t initially want to engage with them while they were playing. I ultimately did, and could immediately tell how that improved their mood. Reminder that they won’t always want to play with their dad (mine are young), and we should take advantage of those opportunities while we can.

COT:

Theodore Roosevelt on Character:
“Bodily vigor is good, and vigor of intellect is even better, but far above both is character. It is true, of course, that a genius may, on certain lines, do more than a brave and manly fellow who is not a genius; and so, in sports, vast physical strength may overcome weakness, even though the puny body may have in it the heart of a lion. But, in the long run, in the great battle of life, no brilliancy of intellect, no perfection of bodily development, will count when weighed in the balance against that assemblage of virtues, active and passive, of moral qualities, which we group together under the name of character…”

TR, The Outlook
March 31, 1900

Being of good character is more important than how strong or smart you are. The Bible clearly spells this out for us. Hold yourself and HIMS accountable. Try to improve your character in areas where you may be deficient. Finally, teach values and good character to your 2.0s. It’s more important than anything any material possessions you can leave them with.
