Day of the Dead (Feels like it after yesterday's leg immobilizer)

Yesterday, we went to the National Funeral Museum. It's been something we have been planning for several years and finally decided to go for it. Why, you might ask, would you want to go to a funeral museum? I don't really have a good answer other than we are weird and like to have interesting experiences.

We were totally NOT disappointed, the $10/person was well worth it. One of the most interesting museums I've been to. It's kind of mind-boggling to see some of the things we do to mourn and funeralize (when this becomes a real word, I'll gladly take credit) for people who pass away.

Anyway, glad to be alive and healthy. Hopefully, I won't be funeralized for for a long time.

Tomorrow's Recess:

"Cindy-ish"

AMRAP in 20 minutes
5 pull-ups

Recess Time

When my grade-school classmates were asked what their favorite subject was, they always surprised me with their answer..."Math" said some, others said Science was their favorite, and others liked Social Studies. Uhhhh, duhhh..."anybody ever heard of Recess time", I would say to myself. I looked forward to Recess more than Christmas. Recess time was liberation from the "establishment", it was a bold demonstration of what our bodies were meant to do, and it was vital to my existence. When I got home from school and went out to play, my Mom would tell me to come home and do my homework. I told her I was doing my homework--Recess homework...and I meant it...I had to get ready for tomorrow's Recess time.

I still love Recess and I'm here to say--Recess isn't just for elementary school kids anymore. Recess doesn't have to end when we grow up and my mission is to bring back Recess...a time to escape the "establishment", a time to run, jump, throw, and lift heavy things--a time to do what our bodies were meant to do.

Tomorrow's Recess time:

20 OH Squats
20 push-ups
50 double-unders
5 rounds for time
