Dora meets bells meets benches

Pax paired up and shared:
100 Step-ups on benches
100 KB swings
100 KB around-the-worlds
100 KB squats

While one of the pax did the exercise the other ran down the grass in between the tennis courts and the parking lot and turned around at the bottom of the hill by the school and sprinted back. When he returned to his partner, they switched places. It was a real gasser! We finished with 100 big bois in cadence.

I heard some song lyrics the other day that got me thinking: “My heart only wants what it wants, what it wants, what it wants, till it doesn’t”. Woe to the person who is on the receiving end of that thought. I encourage us to not follow our hearts because they can be fickle and untrustworthy. The pastor at my church has often jokes “If anyone tells you to follow your heart, punch him in the nose”. We need guides and parameters and “why’s” as we go about our “how’s” rather than “hearts”. The Bible, a spiritual walk or counsel with a wise friend or mentor can often be good guides.
