It was a dark and not-stormy morning as seven pax gathered in the Lycan parking lot under the eerie glow of the Palentine light (at least I think that’s what they called it). Confused school bus drivers stared in wonderment as the pax descended on the playground, put their feet into the swing-set swings, and proceeded to work out their abs and arms at an intensity they couldn’t fathom in their wildest dreams (or nightmares!). Everyone gave a great effort and hopefully felt the burn in some unusual places. Exercise circuits were punctuated by runs around the school and up the hill to the back wall. Beatdown completed, the pax gathered again to share announcements and prayers before vanishing like the early morning fog to take the fight to their jobs and families. Temps in the low 30’s, real-feel in the high 20’s.
PAX: Chainsaw, Ice-Nine, Doughboy, Fusebox, Dana, Posse, Stag (Q)
It’s a little early for reindeer and elves but Stag and 6 High-Impact Men spread joy and cheer throughout the Aassspppeeennn AO on Thursday 12/16! Thanks for the extreme grace given to this 1st time Q (who has four hooves and doesn’t know how to count properly, and also forgot to take the family pic?? This guy!) as we tried out some crazy ideas inspired by Georges Hébert and Méthode Naturelle: be strong to be useful. We didn’t save any lives from volcanic eruptions today but we’re that much stronger should the need ever arise!

Finished with Have A Nice Day: you have been made for a purpose; are you living it out? Are you cherishing the critical relationships in your life? Are there things you are anxious about but have no control over? Give it to The LORD! Live out what you are called to today!

40-ish degrees, partly cloudy skies but enough clear spots to see stars shining through and be inspired. General reminder the workout starts at 5:30am Pronto, we might need alarm clocks as Christmas gifts 😆 Thanks all and have a very Merry Christmas with family and friends as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and savior!
