28 of us in the PAX welcomed the 58 degrees this morning as we ascended on our local Block Party for a beatdown led by Maximus and Back Draft. For Back Draft and I, it was awesome and humbling to see car after car pull into the W.E.P. parking lot on a Tuesday. When Red Banjo doesn’t even get a parking spot in the lot and pulls off on the driveway coming down the hill, you know it’s a good crowd. As I mentioned at the start, I learned this weekend that we don’t have to start every workout with the beloved SSH. While a crowd favorite they aren’t, burpees can be a great way to start the mumble chatter. One with it.

Prayer Requests: Car Bomb getting married in a few weeks. Spark plug, Injured (take care of yourself pre and post workout). As discussed at last Friday’s Invergence, we lean on each other for accountability and support. We’re here to lead and support so let’s do that. Don’t put the pressure on your wife to be your accountability partner; it’s not fair for her. As Back Draft taught us, go read and marinate on Ecclesiates 4:9-10, “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil (they work more efficiently). For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!”

There are a lot of guys out there that don’t think they have a brother to lift them up. Headlock them!! Welcome Fist Pump and Speedo.
AYE!
