· Forearm Plank
· Alternative Arm Raise (Forward)
· Alternating Arm Raise (Sideways)
· Forearm to Regular Plank
PAX then performed Flutter Kicks; Freddie Mercurys and American Hammers before time regrettably ran out .
CIRCLE OF TRUST:
Although this October will be different than years past, the constant presence of candy may not change. I was recently reminded in an otherwise forgettable self-help book that the bod and mind have different needs and so it’s important to ask ourselves when our mind tells us it needs a snack, second helping or dessert whether it’s something the body needs. 90% of the time it isn’t, and even if we don’t then listen to the body if we can do so half the time it can make a real difference.

CRAWL BEAR UP THE RAMP / MOSEY DOWN…Another on in the books!
Moleskin – YHC was running late this morning, but the PAX made up for lost time by pushing through WITHOUT rest! YHC actually planned to have one, but the Studly Six had none of it. Even when “the man” showed up to try and break up the beatdown, the PAX pushed on. I’m proud to be in the gloom with my brothers!
CoT – We welcomed FNG, aka Alamo. We didn’t forget the Alamo this morning, in fact we will remember it every time HE posts! YHC closed out with a prayer for healing, calm, and strength to keep pushing each other.
Thank you for the opportunity to lead!
