CIRCLE OF TRUST
PRAYER
MOLESKIN

  • I love this workout plan because it focuses on NOT leaving the 6 behind.  REALLY quickly someone (always) will point that it DOESN’T pay to be the 1st (yes – that is the point).  Hence – The Great Equializer! 
  • I flipped a couple things around in the moment so all the Lawyers out there – feel free to chime in and let me know what I forgot
  • March of the Merkins – for those counting….we did 110 Merkins as a group PLUS whatever you did during the PT Test.  We did LOW and SLOW counts to be sure and focus on form.  
  • #TheJakeRun – when the Q runs from the starting point to make Jake play hide and seek with the PaX!  
    • Jake – this was all out of love and fun
  • It’s always a pleasure to lead the PaX!  Thanks for coming out and supporting me on my Q!  10 years on Thursday….hard to imagine.
