Stretching out the Kinks

Stretching out the Kinks

9 weary PAX in need of rejuvenation showed up to the Scout Hut, ready to get their stretch on. I willing obliged.

Devo: Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! 

I shared with the PAX how life has just been crazy for the past couple of weeks, but that I (and all of us) truly need to be still. The speed of life can create anxiety, especially as we review the world around us. Be Still is not a suggestion- but rather a command. Only when we are, can we truly know God, and experience true peace.

Moleskine

This week, my legs been hurting something fierce from increasing my mileage/elevation (thanks horsey) , so I specifically added some focus to the hips. We had a few others beat up from Skunkworks, so hoped this morning helped.

Not sure how many pre-runners we had this morning, but T-claps to Paperjam, who strolled in looking like he owned the place at 5:31 after he finished his run #doyou #driveitlikeyoustoleit

Went for Yoga Classical today- personally I thought it was a bust (made the workout seem  too serious) but let me know if you thought otherwise.

Thanks guys! Always enjoying Qing for this group.
