Learning to shoulder press by “holding up the sky” in the kids class. Great job, Future Firebreathers of America (FFOA)!
Today, we face “Fight Gone Burpee” again. Bring your “A” game to this one or stay home. (Yours truly will be joining one of the classes on her best behavior. Honest.)
And, if you need any motivation besides the thought of Mary kicking your butt again, run your nose up and down these Teddy Roosevelt quotes/posters.
Then go out and make something of yourself. Today. Life is short.

YES YES YES! Teddy Roo is my favorite president. He’s almost more badassererer than Mary. Almost…

Interesting, Teddy vs Mary?
I think Teddy would win in a fair fight. But if it was prison rules, I’d put my money on Mary.

BTW, the new squat stands look damn sexy

So yay lack of editing abilities – What I mean to say is my money is on mary, always…

Chris, really, please, the term is “more badasser” — not “more badasserer” — proper English, at all costs.
And you never know, Mary might use a weapon. I’m just sayin’ . . .

@Dan: Yes on the burpees v. the rowing

@Lis- My apologies. My ‘er’ key must’ve gotten stuck earlier.
May 21st, 2009 at 12:43 pm

Kathleenopolis… yup, still in! Migs too. Maybe Sue? We are also probably going to grab some food beforehand seeing they apparently don’t have any there.
May 21st, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Oh — food AND drink — sounds like a trainer’s meeting!
May 21st, 2009 at 2:38 pm
Hmph. Trainers meeting = surprise dinner.
May 21st, 2009 at 3:33 pm
I’ll be at the 5:00 and will hopefully not pass out/puke/die during Fight Gone Burpee. This could get ugly. If I die, Melis will cover the 6:00.

Update for those still awake and going to Albany this weekend — I think the comp. starts sometime around 9am on Sat? All I know is that my “handler” will be yelling at me that I’m late no matter what. Text or call me for more updates tomorrow night.

I wish I could go this weekend. Have fun, everyone!
