Moleskin:
– Great job waking up and posting in the many, many flurries (read:none, flurries were to arrive at the end of the workout).
– Kim Jung, LIFO – you owe us about 20 Burpees.
– During the bear Crawl sequence….

Beads had a dream…. He was Bear crawling with the Lord.
He notices that during each Bear crawl sequence, he sees two sets of pawprints.
One belonging to our man, Beads, the other to the Lord.

During the last sequence of bear crawls, Beads looks back and sees only one set of pawprints.
Beads asks the Lord, “Lord, You said you’d bear crawl with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the hardest and worst set of bear crawls,
there was only one set of pawprints.
Lord, I don’t understand why, during the toughest set of bear crawls you would leave me.”

The Lord then whispered, “My precious Beads, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during any Costanza workout, no matter the number of Burpees or Bearcrawls.
When you saw only one set of pawprints,
It was then that I bear crawled with you, on my back
