Staying in the shade, sort of. Some battle buddy AMRAP rows, press, tricep extensions, squats, curls with alternating runs. Then some merkin, dips, calf raise mix. Finally some core work.

Be careful about quantification. Boiling anything down to a simple number can remove some much of the nuances of life. If you’re going to use metrics and data, know when you’re doing it, and always be mindful that it’s never as simple of a single number. And also, research has shown the more you measure by metrics alone the more likely people conduct unethical behavior.

COT:
Matthew 11:28-30
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
So many times I pray that God would just take this burden away from me or someone I know. Jesus is saying that he wants to grab onto you and help you walk with that burden. He will make it easier to carry and we will grow through this exercise with him.

COT:

F3 Knoxville Bible study very helpful and wanted to encourage the PAX to read it. Don’t isolate yourself if you do not have an accountability partner ask a shield Lott can help in a lot of ways. “Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.”
