Spring is coming, but winter is still fighting to stick around. Another cold and clear night kept temps in the mid-30’s and 14 PAX posted for another edition of True Grit. YHC thought it would be a good AM to do True Fidelity, Hi Grit style…or something like that…glad the PAX brought their running shoes today…
The Thang:
Warm-ups: Fazio Arm Circles x20, Reverse Fazio x20 (feel the burn baby…especially you Orwell), Whacky Jacks x20 – sound stupid and looks weird but it gets the heart rate humming…and because the PAX were snickering, YHC calls an audible…let me introduce you to my little friend…the Prison Cell Merkin Burpee x5 – OYO, Mountain Climbers x20, Recover on the run to the bottom of Dam Hill – quick count of 14 PAX along the way…excellent…enough for what lies ahead…

YHC shared some thoughts from today’s Jesus Calling devotional: I AM WITH YOU – what a promise from the God of all creation. These four words are like a safety net, protecting you from falling into despair. Life will always bring it’s ups and downs but this promise lives with us forever. God’s presence is there to comfort and encourage us. Let us remember that as we go forth into our day. – Zephaniah 3:17
Orwell closed us out in prayer
