COT: Short Story.
There once was a student and a Master who were hiking up a mountain for martial arts training – the tallest there ever was.

When the got to the top, the student said:
“Master, it is so beautiful up here!”

The Master slapped the student, and they headed down the mountain, never going back up again.

Later on, the student asks “Master, why did you slap me? What did I do?”

Master replies: “You said the Mountain was beautiful, and in doing so, you limited its significance.”

There are words, labels, and identities in our lives of which we impose upon objects, events, and peoples. And by imposing a meaning, you limit not only in definition, but also in yourself. Your world view.

There is a lot of labeling in this world, and many things transcend perceivable definitions. In my twenties, I recognize the value of words, and am working on imposing limitations on things as to unintentionally restrict their significance.

The Q got a little behind this week. You really only have two jobs as the TG10 Q, and this is one of them. But here we are. For the record, the rest of you rocked it.

WARMUP: Nah
THE THANG: 3 blockees at the goal line, 5 no cheat merkins at the 10, 5 WWIs at the 20, 1 burpee at the 30, 5 WWIs at the 20, 5 no cheat merkins at the 10. Repeato, adding a burpee each round. Record the number of rounds complete and the number of reps in your final round. MARY: nope
ANNOUNCEMENTS: announcement channel
COT: The Qs roots meant growing up with the concept of lagniappe. Just a little something extra. That’s what TG10 is. You could just show up for the beatdown, that’s a lot. TG10 is a little extra. Think about where else that could fit into your life.
