They’re called “Jeggings”

They’re called “Jeggings”

On a beautiful August morning, 13 PAX came to get all the kinks out. Here’s what happened:

Devotion

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, ² looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1-2 

We talked about how Christ has called us to run our race- we have the example of those who have gone before us. What that race looks like is different for each and every one of us- but the call is the same to run our race well.

There will be times when we are exhausted- times when the race becomes incredibly difficult. It is during these times that we look to Jesus, and HIS example.

The Thang

Moleskin

Sorry about the lateness of this Back Blast- I was planning on sending it the Thursday after, then time got away from me, then I went and got lost running around in the mountains with a bunch of men (otherwise known as the BRR)

We had a little bit of a larger crowd this morning- guess the message was heard that Gumby is a great BRR-prep as we had a lot of hard core runners joining us.

So Cocktail comes sauntering in and causes everyone to give a double take- as it seems that he had come rolling up in Toughskins (aka jeans). While we were debating a name change, he let us know that it was his comfy pants disguised as jeans- (known in some circles known as jeggings) that are available at Walmart

After some extensive research, I can confirm this is such a thing (can be purchased here: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Collections-Etc-Mens-Faux-Denim-Drawstring-Lounge-Pant-Medium-Machine-Washable-100-Cotton/275168344 – you’re welcome) and they seem to be incredibly comfy. Kudos Cocktail- stand strong.

Tunes was a Hans Zimmer playlist- with hindsight being 20/20 it’s a a little too intense for a Broga workout- I’ll adjust next time.

Thanks again for coming out- I always appreciate the opportunity to lead this great group of guys.
