And: maybe a really cool part of the day was doing the “deck of cardS” workout with daniel and about 10 guys: here is the rules: black cards: do as many push ups as on the card; Ace is fifteen; my minimum was 10; Red cards: do as many pull ups; my minimum was 4, but got lowered usually .
2 is stretch; queen is do abs til you’re pumped.
So fun. Maybe 15 guys were doing it together.

Then we had another meeting with students and Cesar and I presented our run through slide deck for the slides due for japan. they were due at ten tomorrow but funny thing is only three groups got them in on time. Cesar and I ended up staying up all night working on the deck.

Then we had “town hall”:
how have you adapted or evolved ? and how would you like to adapt or evolve going forwards? (Oh and, how would you like the program to evolve?)
I have honed in on a weakness and i want to change that: how to tell a story that people like; how can I practice this?

Funky Love, a tactic used by the Nike Foundation to give constructive critique, taught to us by the guys at Nike Foundation;
Then came Pedro’s surprise party;
Then Cesar and I worked on the slides for Japan
