We had a great group this morning to kick off another cool morning – love it. I haven’t been to this AO in a while and it felt good to be back. I planned for 45 minutes, but found that I was way short on exercises. The Jack Webb’s and Indian Run around the school were audibles. Always have a watch! Thank you for the invite <@U790WHUKC>.

8 enjoyed the return of the end zone buckets. At each football field end zone a bucket contained tickets of running pain. We ended up just over two miles of sprints, light jogs, fast jogs and a smidge of mall walking. A few ten counts and some conversation about Aladdin’s Castle and pac man made for a good 1-0 to start the day.
We prayed for hurricane relief and a few shared of health struggles for loved ones as well as job stress.
Blessed to be included and have never not enjoyed being out with the guys.

We have two options in life: put in the work or complain about the circumstances. Only one will make a difference.

5 were at The Yard for a tour of the back entrance light posts as we had pain in chalk at each pole. Each pole at a letter of THE YARD, but not in order, so that led to some light yogging to find the next letter in the correct order. Everyone enjoyed immensely.
Prayers for Bonsai’s wife and Old Bay’s wife, Twister’s mom, thankful for safe travels for Tater and his M, and for DT’s upcoming trip.
Signups available for yard work at the Care Center.
Thanks to JCruise for the opportunity!
