Forecast: Pain with a 100% Chance of Perspective

Conditions: It poured all night. But as I pulled up—miraculously dry skies and just enough gloom to get uncomfortable.

YHC rolled in not knowing if anyone would show after a night of monsoon-style weather. But there they were—cars parked, PAX ready. Let’s go.

? Warm-Up (Standard Flow):
• Imperial Walkers – Yes, right there on the damp pavement.
• LBCs – Because we like getting uncomfortable.
• Superman w/ Ripcord Pull – To wake up those neglected back muscles.

Then we moseyed to the front entrance for Global Warming – Al Gore hold while each PAX delivered 30 monkey humpers. Humbling. And hilarious.

? Testimony Drop – Part 1:
Shared some of my story—growing up in California, an early move to Connecticut, and the brokenness that began to shape me.

? Main Work: The Grinder Loop (4 Rounds):

Each Round:
• 20 Irkins
• 30 Bulgarian Split Squats (15/leg)
• 20 Dips
• 5 Burpees
Then: Lap around the front of the middle school.

Confessions flowed like sweat:
• Round 1: Life in a 1% MC environment. Drugs. Death. Uncertainty.
• Round 2: Homelessness. Fighting. Survival. Muscle-up stop on the hill.
• Round 3: Dropping out. Prison visits. Grief. Grace.

? COT:
Slow walk back. Talked about how I didn’t just get through the storm—I was cleansed by it. Not because I was strong… but because the Spirit wouldn’t let go.

? Announcements:
[Insert relevant AO or region updates]

? Prayers & Praises:
Spoken and unspoken. We’re in this together.

Finding the Way

It was raining. A storm had just rolled through. I spent 30 minutes watching the lightning strike map before the workout. The electricity faded just before 0515, leaving behind a steady rain that cut the humidity.

We moseyed.

My eyes were on effort—and the promise of a road shorter than we wanted. I found one. We did 7s: merkins and squats. Basic doesn’t mean easy. We bear crawled between.

Another mosey.

Chasing the dream of democracy, I created an illusion of choice. Ten parking spaces. One more burpee at each stop. After nine, I had us pause to “vote” on whether we’d do ten. It was a sham. We were doing all ten—because this isn’t a democracy. But just saying we’re doing it wasn’t the point. We did it in cadence, because a leader leads.

It’s better when we go alongside those we lead. It takes longer. It’s more work. But it keeps everyone engaged. When I ask my kids to do the dishes, they’ll do it—but they do it better when I’m with them. I’ve got plenty of other things to do, but the most important job I have is to be their dad. And that means leading with them, more often than letting them go OYO.
