The Buckets by Greg Cravens for October 14, 2018

There’s a reason boxers skip rope when they’re in training. It’s HARD.

Oh, I jump rope quite well. My lungs and heart can’t take it for more than a couple of minutes at a time, that’s all!!

The difficultly appears to be a good reason to skip rope.

Jumping rope is easier if you weigh less, so either lose a lot of weight or go jump rope on the Moon.

Half an hour!? You’d have to be 11 for it not to kill you.

I bought my daughter a pogo stick, but she could never get the hang of it. So I’d go out bouncing like a fool at 50.

Minutes aren’t all bad.. I am grateful for seconds.. heck I am even happy doing two successful skips in a row.

I did this for a while but it gave me shin splints. It was fun while it lasted.

and just think what it does to old knees :(

Now I want to go jump rope. But I don’t think I’d last very long.

Sarah’s younger self looks nice!
