WOD: Team of 2
            100 wall balls, warrior burpees, db slams
             300 DU

This is a wallet that my son made for me today. The yellow writing is hard to read. It says, "workout for life".

I share this because there are so many things in my every day life that I second guess or I reflect back on a know I could have done better. I have the personality that is designed for continuous improvement (which can also lead to continuous dissatisfaction).  But when my kids know that working out and exercising is part of our life, I know I am doing something right.

The boys have grown up in the gym. Connor was 6 weeks old when I would carry him into the YMCA in his seat and then when Parker came along I would prop him up in his seat while I ran. I would run faster to try to get in all my miles before he woke up from his evening nap. We don't talk about the gym like it's a place we are forced to go, nor do we sit around and contemplate whether or not we are going. It's part of every single day. Just like one would know that after you wake up and go to the bathroom, you brush your teeth. It's part of our life.

They aren't forced to exercise or forced to sit in a room and be bored. If they go with us, they can also play and do things around the gym. Regardless, they do see it as a routine and something that makes us happy and a place to see our friends.

I don't know...I think the concept is cool. I have this new wallet to prove it :)
