Loved this quote: "My dad had the right idea. And it all worked out. He used to say to me: 'Son, don't miss the wonders that surround you because every tree, every rock, every anthill, every star is filled with the wonders of nature.'

'Well,' he'd say, 'Always try to see life around ya as if you'd just come out of a tunnel.'"

One hour strike class, during which we do these (well, I fake it.)


 

33 minutes, so 3 easy equivalent on the arc trainer.

P.M. soccer practice and 3 miles at my dad's condo clubhouse while the kids swam.

My dad is in the hospital and things have been a bit hectic.  Only forced in quick workout.
