Moleskine:
>From the Q Source:
The Queen is an integral Guardrail in the HIM’s pursuit of proper personal alignment. As with chess, if the Queen is taken off the board, it is not long before the King finds himself checkmated. No matter how hard and consistently a man may exercise, if his diet is haphazard his Fitness kingdom will not long stand. The Queen cannot be ignored, even by the strongest of Kings.

The Thang: 33s—Mosey around the long loop, stopping at all light poles to perform 33s (3 different exercises/11 reps of each). Each PAX takes a turn adding a new exercise to the front of the sequence. As a new movement is introduced, the oldest one drops off, always keeping the total at 3. The rotation continues. Finished up with Mary.

*Bonus props to Lakers for actually showing up in a “tang” top.

Moleskine: The world feels loud lately. So much noise, distraction, and pressure trying to pull us off center. But it’s the small moments that bring us back. Whether it’s an F3 beatdown, reading to your kid, or sharing a quiet meal with someone you love… those are the things that matter most. Stay anchored. Stay present.

COT: 1 minute of silence. Prayers for Noodle’s son.
