This weeks Lifestyle Challenge is an important one. One of our members is sharing their experience of the devastating impact that distracted driving can have... Did you completely refrain from distracted driving today? Last week an 8 year old boy lost his dad who was struck and killed by a distracted driver. According to the State Patrol the driver admitted to not paying attention while he drove his 7,000 lb pickup 60 miles per hour right into my co-worker, who was working behind a cone wearing bright safety vests in broad daylight on a straight and level road. The driver that hit and killed Chris never hit his breaks. Distracted driving can be the use of a phone, paying attention to a passenger versus the road ahead, checking the radio, eating, applying makeup while driving or just not actively paying attention. Being distracted while operating a vehicle can end lives, ruin lives and have a lasting and devastating impact. It only takes a second to destroy lives. Daily lifestyle challenge point for being 100% free of distracted driving. An extra 2 pt bonus if you post the same challenge to all your contacts via FB or Instagram and tag MBS Crossfit by Monday at noon. For people without Facebook or Instagram, they can text or email their friends and send an image of the message to patrick@mbscrossfit.
