Moleskine: Confession is more than just listing your bad deeds or telling your sins. It’s a way to get what’s on the inside to the outside. It’s a way to create congruence between who you are to the world and who you are inside. Seek congruence. Find those who can hold your confession.

COT: God knows

COUNT: 17
WOR: SSH x 10, Tin Soldiers x 10, MMP x 10, Merkins IC x 15, Picking Daiseys OYO middle, left, right

The Thang: Broke into groups of 3. There were 3 exercises.
Burpees
Sandbag Front Squats
Run the Gerbil Wheel

the running was the pace setter and the other two PAX had to have continual movement. Once the runner got back they rotated. We did 5 total rounds.

Thang 2 – Same groups – Partner one picked up the sand bag and threw it forward. He would then pick up up and throw it again until he was relieved by a PAX.

The other two completed BOMBS – 10 reps each and then ran to the PAX and one would take over throwing the sandbag. Both partners not throwing ran back to the starting point and did another set of BOMBS. Rinse and repeat for the final 20 minutes.

Moleskine: Being an ultra competitor. It makes you and those around you better at all aspects of life.

Moleskine:
Be driven by impact, not instant gratification. When your child acts up, they are inviting you to wire some circuitry that can help them be resilient through moments like these in the future. It’s inconvenient, but an opportunity to provide massive impact.
