Big Brothers Bowling Event at Stars and Stripes this Saturday, contact @solocup or @Exit54 for details, bowlers needed.
We prayed protection, fun and safety for the 7th Graders school bus trip to Washington DC
We prayed for @Othello’s arm and @UncleFloyd’s back, for continued healing
We lifted up @Maddog and his family
We remembered @Zin’s father-in-law who needs a breakthrough from the darkness in his life
Moleskin
I was recovering from some back spasms after yesterday’s Road Warrior and was able to begin and finish strongly today, helped immensely by @Maddog, who shared a helpful back stretch video, @Constitution, who drove to my house to drop off an awesome massage gun, and @Othello, who was his usual kind self and let me borrow his yoga roller, which was very helpful.
We split into two teams for the first coupon carry drill, and @Othello, @Goldrush, @SSMinnow and @Constituion beat the rest of us and got to watch their brother complete 15 burpees as they people’s chaired it against the wall (@Othello joined us for the burpees for extra credit).
The boys humored me as I played my Christian worship music and we worked our way through our Tabata drills, working arms, core, legs, and shoulders.
It was great to see and welcome back @TarTar who was feeling good after pumping iron at the Y all winter.
