The Thang:
Old-fashioned DORA. PAX paired up and shared exercises. Each pair of exercises had a different mode of movement for the guy not doing the reps and after each pair, PAX ran a lap around the track. Pairs of exercises were: – 50 burpees / 150 mercins (run 100 yards)
– 150 BBSs / 200 squats (bernie 100 yards)
– 200 appolo onos / 250 curls (shuffle 50 yards)
– 150 leg-lifts / 250 overhead press (lunge 50 yards)
Moleskine: figure out how to find joy even in the midst of suffering by recognizing the things to be grateful for and the resolute hope of redemption

MoM: Wrapped up the last five minutes of our beatdown with the following exercises: American Hammers, Mountain Climbers, Big Boy Sit Ups, Flutter Kicks, Oblique V Ups
Moleskine: Everyone experiences grief and loss differently. Today, I just reminded the Pax that we often times may feel guilty when we experience moments of joy during our grief. Lean into God during times of grief. Remember that it is okay to give yourself permission to experience joy while dealing with grief.
Prayers: Praise for Manhole’s grandmother on celebrating her 95th birthday. Prayers for Cookies’ M and Gummi Bear’s M and their current health battles. Asking that God provide them with strength, comfort and his healing hand.

Take time to remember people who are no longer with us. If you know someone who has experienced a loss, it’s my experience that they would prefer to remember them because even though it makes them sad, it also brings them joy to remember them.
Coffeeteria:
An early happy birthday to Audible! Thanks for sharing some pound cake. It went well with the coffee.

Moleskine: talked about my handheld water bottle i use for long runs, which was a game changer. Allows me to take more frequent sips of water rather than trying to guzzle at water fountains (or tables). Similarly, as a christian, I think of the daily time in God’s word and prayer as sipping from the water bottle. Aye!
