9 HIM came out on a chilly 32 degree morning for a beatdown not knowing it was twister season too.
PAX: @Ron Swanson @Tiny Dancer @ragdoll @Kwame @Operation @Cosmo @Pancreas @Joey Freshwater

Right at 6AM, QIC was anxious to get started, cued up the tunes, and directed the PAX to mosey. Completely forgetting about the disclaimer.

Warm a rama
Lap with Mucho Chesto stops
5 of each: merkin, diamond merkin, staggered merkins. Thanks to @ragdoll’s good math skills he confirmed it was 20 in total.
As we circled up again QIC attempted to salvage the disclaimer but botched it by ending with “…modify at your own risk.”

*Announcements:

Prayer:
Praying for healing for some the PAX and M’s who are sick or waiting on results/tests to get diagnosis.
Also for each other to remain strong leaders at home and work.

Moleskin:
YHC has been doing a lot of reading since lent has begun and one of the subject matters has been vulnerability. Make no mistake that vulnerability in men these days can be seen/viewed as a sign of weakness but it is actually a sign of strength and courage as it takes a lot to step up and out and be vulnerable and uncomfortable. Let’s be men who are not scared to step out. We should not wake up and be comfortable with our being as is, there are always ways to improve in so many different aspect of our lives. We need to strive to be better then everyone else, we don’t need to be better then everyone else but we gotta try. That trying is where our character is built and tested.
