Baseball players are pansies (*cough*PLAGUE*cough*) so we did the easiest of Warm-a-ramas:
Light jogging to the outfield
Karaokes Back
High knees to the edge of the infield
Butt kicks to the outfield
Side shuffle back
Then…
LET THE GAME BEGIN!!!
THE THANG:
Kickball. Standard Rules apply. You’re out if ball is caught mid-air or thrown out by getting hit by ball. 3 outs.
Batter & Pitcher = no exercises.
Everyone else will be doing an exercise while pitcher throws the ball.
Rotate out your pitcher every batter.

QUOTE:
30,000 Mornings: This is your life; don’t miss a day of it.
“30,000 mornings, give or take, is all we’re given. If you’re 26, you still have 20,000 left. If you’re 54, you still have 10,000. An accident or illness could change all that, of course. But let’s count on you to remain safe and healthy all your allotted life—in which case you still have plenty of time. Sort of.
“We get to think of life as an inexhaustible well,” wrote composer and author Paul Bowles, who lived to the ripe old age of 32,442 mornings. “Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really.“
How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that’s so deeply a part of your being that you can’t even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.”
30,000 mornings. We’ll spend some of them on the treadmill, OR PLAYING KICKBALL WITH YOUR F3 BUDDIES, or fighting traffic, or standing in line at the Starbucks store. Just be sure to spend some of yours seeking and savoring the real beauty, mystery, and adventure of your days. This is your life, your one and only life—don’t miss a day of it.”
Aye!
Ponzi
