Bo's Fitness Camps

On this , saying hello to the best “coach” I’ve ever had . I gave her burpees and angina, she gave me the rest. On Martha’s Vineyard, Destination Camp, 2015. We did work!!

Honoring and remembering my two favorite veterans today, who never averted an opportunity to proudly refer to themselves as Marines. 60 years after their service, Semper Fi still found its way into their vernacular.

The sun sets on the CSN football field tonight after practice. Our season continues into the playoffs this Friday Night. Proud of the young men and their accomplishments. GO HAWKS!

Just read President- elect Biden’s plan for his first 100 days in office. “To every thing there is a season, turn, turn, turn.” — The Byrds, of course. The other quote I can’t identify, but comes immediately to mind is: “A moral universe arcs toward justice.” I’m looking forward to the season of healing.

Have you ever? Since Washington graciously stepped down from 2 consecutive terms, sighting ‘term limits’ before there was such a concept, but conscious of not becoming another ‘king’ ; since an election was held in spite of a civil war without insults as to lack of voter integrity; since the tumultuous terms of Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton; since Gore vs Bush culminated in a democratic, fair and seamless transfer of power ... have you ever? If you want the most profusely and evident answer as to why s**t is this effed up, just look at the protagonist of the last 4 years of the American political landscape. As better minds once stated for all posterity: we hold these truths to be self evident. When a sitting president defaces the integrity of a free and democratic election without evidence, he undermines the very tenants of a just society. A ‘personality’ does not make a competent guardian of a ‘grand experiment in human endeavor.’ We made an egregious mistake America. Let’s move on and learn from it, America. With grace. With dignity. Enough already.

Since she was a snotty 3rd grader, we’ve been returning each October to autumn’s prime real estate: Bucks County, PA. Dads, daughters and fall’s reverse bloom.

75°. Blue September skies. To drink a local craft beer without a trace of sweat down your spine is a beautiful thing.

Game day. GO HAWKS!!! New team, new stadium, new opportunities. Kids are great and fired up. Support the home team. 🏈💪🏼👏🏼

Family and Fitness: two major pillars to build a life around. So fortunate to have these two peeps on my team. Gonna miss the blue crab and one-liners. So grateful to be occasional neighbors. Love you sister and brother.

On this , let’s throw it wayyyy back to gain perspective on this Thursday, July 30th 2020 •
If you were born in 1900, you came of age just in time for WWl: 22 million people die in trench warfare and the use of nerve gas. On your 18th birthday the Spanish Flu epidemic kills at least 50 million people, maybe up to 100 million in 2 years • As you put that behind you the Great Depression robs you of your career, empties your bank account, very likely your home. You’re 29 years old • 4 long years and the world economy has tanked. Climbing out of those 3 epic atrocities in 30 years you’ve but a brief respite when WWll erupts and by 1941, America is engulfed in a fight for its democracy;
even at 41, you may be drafted as it’s “all hands on deck.” 100 million people perish in concentration camps, the Soviet pograms, famine, war and genocide• And, in the “good old days” for over 40 years, you feared smallpox, which killed 300 million people, and, until you were 55, recurring polio each summer that paralyzed neighbors, friends, family, the POTUS. Nuclear war was an ever present threat, as your children practiced doomsday drills under their school desks • I could go on ... we can lament the world in 2020, bask in self pity and be victims to circumstance. Old News • Perspective is GOLD • If you are living today you are luckier than billions of the dead • Count me in on 2020. Let’s

As we age, we will require a bump: a longer warm up? More mobility training? Shorter workouts? Attention to recovery? No shame in it ... you just keep on with keeping on AND DO WORK!
