THE THANG:
Pax Poker –
Split into teams of two people each and place deck at other end of parking lot.

Each group sends one member out to retrieve a card. The mode of travel varies (bear crawls, walking lunges, backwards run). The PAX who are not retrieving cards are doing stationary exercises.

Once each group has 5 cards, each group looks at their hand. The group can decide to fold and do 10 burpees or play. If you play and lose, you do 15 burpees. If you play and win you do no burpees and get to shuffle the cards for the next round. The cards are returned to the pile, shuffled and then we start again.

COT:
With Pope Francis passing earlier this week, wanted to share something I read this week from his writings (https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/encyclicals/documents/20241024-enciclica-dilexit-nos.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email) that I think is universal for all of us:

‘If we devalue the heart, we also devalue what it means to speak from the heart, to act with the heart, to cultivate and heal the heart. If we fail to appreciate the specificity of the heart, we miss the messages that the mind alone cannot communicate; we miss out on the richness of our encounters with others; we miss out on poetry. We also lose track of history and our own past, since our real personal history is built with the heart. At the end of our lives, that alone will matter.’
