Laughter.    August 24 2012

.

Run 400 meters

While everyone needs more laughter – THIS IS NOT FUNNY. There is nothing funny about this picture. Actually, it breaks our hearts.

Laughter.

Lately I’ve been thinking we need to laugh a bit more.  Don’t get me wrong, we need to go hard as fuck in workouts and train with the mental focus of a elephant, but a little laughter before and after is a nice counter balance.

Luckily, my brother sent me two hilarious links which will kick off the Roots Funnies.  We’ll post something each week.

Here’s the first: Dogshaming

Post to comments if you laugh out loud.

    Dizon: LOVED this one — used to play this “game” with my border collie, and his reaction was exactly the same, ‘cept he called me “Madam”, not Sir ;-)

    This is only funny if it’s a single blue 45# plate on the white 10# spindle.
