Temperature was perfect, moon was inspirations, even a breeze was enjoyed. In other words, the perfect morning to run up and down garage stairs. Most went to plan although QIC needs to better understand exactly what a flight of stairs actually is. People’s Chair provided some time for painful conversation. Second round of Wall Walks destroyed most of us. Handstand Push-ups on concrete is a bad idea and not nearly as fun as Balls to Wall (note cooling effect of concrete on nether regions). Bear Crawl was made much more exciting by dodging stream of incoming cars, thereby duplicating what it might feel like to be an actual bear. Grunts, gas and chatter during punishing yoga sequence warmed this Q’s heart. Props to Trick Daddy for crushing the workout and PTO for running to and from AO/Starbucks, although I’m wondering how that second coffee stayed down.
Heartfelt prayers and deepest condolences for the family of Cary Russell, who passed into God’s Greater Glory yesterday. Prayers also out to PAX family and friends fighting or recovering from sickness and surgery.
“When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul” – Psalms 94:19
Thanks for letting me lead today.
