Stretching, Straining and the Redemptive Value of Resolutions

Although F3 workouts are outdoors & rain or shine, the recent cold, wet weather was to blame for fartsacks across the region (YHC fell victim and wasn’t at his typical AOs to confirm or deny this theory).  Sensing the PAX was tired of checking The Weather Channel, a pre-blast tweet of 0% chance of rain was sent.  The tweet did mention 100% chance of deep yoga(-ish) or broga stretches and the weinke did not disappoint.

The Moleskin

Gumby welcomed in the New Year with one new site FNG and a lot of Sun Salutations.  It was good to see so many familiar faces at Gumby.  The workout was planned as to provide maximum stretching and as much sweating as you could get out of a stretching workout.  At the end of the workout, today’s version of Gumby appeared to have accomplished both.  #11yearoldapproved  #crushedit

Today’s devotion was focused on leaving old things behind and stretching and straining towards things that are new and resolving to live for the glory of God. (Phillippians 3:13-14)

As always, it was an honor to lead.
