The Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos have been most people’s Super Bowl pick from the beginning. With newly traded Wes Welker and Peyton Manning, it’s hard to go against them. Their 5-0 start has given the city of Denver lots of hope for a trip to the Super Bowl.

Peyton Manning is probably having the best season of his life. In the first game of the seasons against the Baltimore Ravens, he threw for seven touchdowns, tying the all time record for quarterbacks in the history of the NFL. He was traded from the Indianapolis Colts and started playing for the Broncos in 2012. In his first season, he led them to the Playoffs, losing in an upset to the Baltimore Ravens who went on to be the Super Bowl champions. However, with a new target for Peyton, it looks as if they could be the best in the league. As much as I hate to say it, the Broncos look like a major Super Bowl prospect.

Cross-Fit Friday

Everybody’s tired when they wake up. It’s just part of the human body. You wake up and your eyes feel like they just want to close automatically and your body feels like it’s 1000 pounds. All you want is just to go back to sleep. The fact that you’ve just been through the whole week does not help when you’re tired. Yep, the day is Friday, and you know the old saying, go out with a bang. On Fridays, which is the end of the week, we have Cross-Fit Friday.

A Cross-Fit for us is 25 pushups, 25 crunches, 25 mountain climbers, and 25 squats with 2 laps in between each. Some people are really good at long distance and Cross-Fits are really easy for them. We’re really lucky that we don’t have to be out at 4 pm, when the sun beats down on you like a hammer on weak nails. You get tired, tired to the point where your lungs hurt when you breathe. You can stop by the water tank, but you have to remember that Coach Spodick times you and if you stop, you’re getting time taken off. The “breaks” where you do pushups and other things are better compared to the running for me at least. I still like athletics a lot though, even when I’m tired and beat down from running because running makes you faster and more durable. Running, no matter how hard it gets, will always be better than sitting in a classroom. You can’t complain because it could always be worse.
