The Baack Paack

One the BaackPaack sent me a message the other day on Facebook with this phrase, “Better Crazy than Lazy” thinking that it was a perfect fit for the BaackPaack.  We have a long standing joke that members on the BaackPaack are on team “Crazy Jay”, as most of them had never been in a group that did so many activities that were considered out of the “normal” routines of exercise.  BLAPS, 9 mile run hikes, Spartan Races, hours on “Ropes courses” that were designed for kids, meeting up for group fitness classes such as Les Mills COMBAT. All things to challenge us and point out our weaknesses, which it turn allows us to try and strengthen those areas.

The phrase: ” Better Crazy than Lazy ” fits on a multitude of levels, from our growing mindset of accepting challenges without hesitation, to putting ourselves in uncomfortable situations to enhance our ability to adapt and overcome situations that might rise up.   The “lazy” part, well.. we all know about being lazy, and how slippery of a slope “lazy” behavior can be.  I am not saying that the behavior doesn’t exist, however, remembering the mantra of “Better Crazy than Lazy” keeps us focused on what we really want out of life and pushing towards our goals.
