CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Stingray commented on our pandemic journey equating it to his M’s experience running a marathon. She hit a wall at mile 21. With only 5 miles remaining, one would think you are so close to the finish that it should be smooth sailing. However, the last 5-6 miles of a marathon are the most brutal since most training never takes you beyond 20 miles at a time. We are at mile 21 of the pandemic as hopeful news continues to flow about vaccines. We must push through this phase and be diligent to not only finish the race, but be encouraging to our families and others we encounter! YHC prayed us out
MOLESKIN:
The mood quickly turned from hope to disappointment when only four PAX were present at launch. What YHC had planned for a partner workout became a group exercise as the number of sandbags = number of PAX. The grumbling quickly began when the PAX realized that with higher attendance the load of the sandbags could be shared with a partner, but alas, each PAX was responsible for his own 50lb “baby” throughout the workout. With a focus on lower body, concerns quickly grew about the KTT workout tomorrow. PAX can expect more sandbag workouts in the future as we slide into GrowRuck prep season!
