CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Plank-walk around the outside of the fountain sucked by an appropriate amount for a good beatdown. But as difficult as it was, I didn’t see anyone look up when they were halfway around, stop, and say, “I did my half!” Each individual kept pushing until the two completed the circle together.

That’s similar to the way it should work at home. Every household has a pile of hard stuff to do. Don’t “meet your partner halfway”. Take it together as a team. Try to do more than “your half.” As Paul said, we should love our wives as Christ loved the Church, and He didn’t “meet us halfway”. He came all the way around for us. Romans 5:8 says that “God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners Christ died for us.”

Big Tuesday crowd! 18 PAX came out to get better… Wouldn’t let me tag Petro, or Thread Count so shout out to u both

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Word today was on Anxiety and how it is present in all our lives and how God calls us to be anxious about nothing but instead pray about everything.  That we are constantly under attack by the things of this world and that we must always be re-calibrating our minds like Philippians 4:8 instructs us “Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”  An awesome word from Paul who had every reason to be anxious and worried about his future when he sat in shackles in prison.  Instead, he saw his state as a way to praise and spread the kingdom.

THA-THANG:  Interlaken
Using a FIFO Sprint Train,  inter link (connect) the three lakes on campus.

While one person sprints to the next exercise station, the rest of the group does the current exercise in place.  When one person finishes the sprint he calls out “Go” to the next in line person, who then stops doing the exercise and sprints to the next station.  Upon reaching the next exercise station, begin doing the next exercise until the whole group has reached the current station.  It works best if we all stay in the same order.   Sprints are designed to be mostly on the straight aways and about 100 yards.  Exercises are:

  1. Plank hold.
  2. Leg lift hold.
  3. Squat Hold.
  4. Side Plank Star Hold.
  5. Elbows to Plank.
  6. In place Lunges
  7. Rainbow Drops

MOLESKIN:
This was the first run after Tank’s Hardship Hill Obstacle Course Race on Saturday.  My legs were not 100% back to normal yet, but it was good to be out and moving again.

WallBall decided 3.6miles wasn’t enough for him and had to finish out the 4 miles.

We welcomed Bueller back after a long abscence.

Also my apologies to Swirlie who I told to go lift because I thought I’d be the only one running. My bad bro.
