CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Much has been written about the importance of male friendships. Research shows that men with emotionally intimate male friendships are healthier, and there’s some evidence that they have deeper romantic relationships, are more engaged parents, and perform better at work. They also live longer – social isolation can be deadlier than smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
MOLESKIN:
If you got 5 rounds you did 575 reps and almost 2.5 miles.

It’s the season of Advent, or the ‘not yet’ season leading up to the birth of Christ. Focus on preparing our mind and hearts for coming of Christ into this world. Don’t get so distracted by the day of Christmas, stay in the moment and prepare yourself. The workout today was based on the Advent wreath: Hope, peace, joy, love.
MOLESKIN:
Singing oh Lord, keep me in the moment
Help me live with my eyes wide open
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what you have for me
(I don’t wanna miss, I don’t wanna miss)
Singing oh Lord, show me what matters
Throw away what I’m chasing after
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what you have for me
