CSAUP Trifecta May/June

COT: Through YHC’s typical lack of attention to detail and not close reading of the church bulletin, YHC found himself in his church’s later-in-life ministry (oops! thought it was late career transition ministry). Still, YHC is enjoying it. One speaker was particularly moving discussing long degenerative declines. He described the situation and then he made two points of advice:

1. Exercise 30 minutes a day.

2. And do not isolate yourself.

That takes us right back to F3. SYITG!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Murph, convergence, Boneathon
COT: Sometimes the little things, the overlooked things, are the high leverage things. I fixed my lingering hip issue by focus on engaging my glute med . Random – I’d never heard of this muscle yet it’s lack of engagement caused my hip and back to overcompensate and painfully bug me for 2 years. Re-examine things in your life where you can improve or add some joy or excitement.

COT: Things often aren’t as hard as we build them up in our minds to be. The Murph is pretty intimidating, but we got after it today and got all of the reps and some of the running done. When we get after something, we can get it done. Try something today that you’d been putting off doing – I bet you’ll kill it.
