Couples Picnic Table Challenge
It’s funny – you know me as this peanut-butter, rum, and chili-obsessed dreamer but the world at large knows me more as Logan from Scenic Fights.
Which is definitely cool, don’t get me wrong.
But I find it humorous that most people know me as an athlete these days, something that I never woulda imagined in a million years growing up.
I literally played two games of base/stickball in my entire life.
And in high school, I doubt there was anyone in my entire school that was worse than me at basketball anything sports related.
And yet, somehow, along the way, I became exactly that.
Because we are what we constantly do and I’m as much at the gym as I am anywhere else.
The kid takes after Alison in that he not only loves to watch sports, something I have zero interest in, but also loves to play sports as well.
I think that she would be thrilled that he loves soccer and baseball, two things she always adored.
The kid unexpectedly got a chance to go with his school to catch a Yankees game the other night – he was out until 11PM – AND also got a chance to walk the field.
Plus, he came home with a ball from the dugout to boot.
Man, this kid’s face musta been sore the next day with the amount he was smiling.
Sara is pretty athletic herself – she played softball for years as a kid and tells me all about her childhood working with the track team in high school.
Seems everyone in her school was involved with athletics.
Plus, I marvel at her walking all the way to and from her office on the east side of Manhattan on the regular.
She also started coming with me to kali over a year ago, which is something that I really appreciate.
Which brings me to the videos below.
Before I messed up my back, Sara and I saw this video with couples doing the Couples Picnic Table Challenge.
Clearly, we had to try it.
The last time I did anything like this was with my buddy Lorin out in LA and he’s a professional. Ours was decidedly less refined.
In any case, the kid found it on his phone so I’m putting it up below (sound was awful so I just killed it).
This is not what I pictured my 50s to be like but, here we are.
Man, just watching this hurt my back…
