The supine stretches were crowd pleasers but some of the expressions of enthusiasm got a little awkward (60 Minutes suggested we just do that for the workout).
Sour Mash almost convinced me to get coffee but didn’t want to disappoint Schneider, who led the PAX and made it look too easy! Super impressive. 60 Minutes and Madoff didn’t seem too phased by the earlier EC run either. YHC was struggling with yesterday’s stitches in his thumb but managed to hold the block okay. Sour Mash’s block unfortunately did not survive the full workout!
This was a hard morning. I had to say goodbye to my dog Toby yesterday evening after a horrible unexpected tragedy. I’d promised my parents I would take care of him when they had passed, and brought him up here a year ago, not knowing how attached you get to your dog. There’s something special in the bond between humans and dogs, it was strange returning from the workout without Toby there to greet me. I’m glad I made the decision to Q, couldn’t have asked for a better group of guys to be there for me. Was blown away by the power of the third F afterwards – God does speak and work through all of us, I got so much powerful wisdom from one of the PAX that was clearly God speaking to me and giving me lessons I’ll be unpacking for a long time. Super grateful for that brother!
Godspeed, Toby. I’m going to miss you little buddy.
