Name-a-rama
I was planning to talk about Todd Beamer who was on flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania who was one of the passengers who rushed the Hi-Jackers notably saying Let Roll prior to the rush, but the Sky Q had better plans.
***EDITORS NOTE – About half way through the second run of the workout @BobRoss 68 asked for someone to take is weighted vest for the rest of the run. Think about that the 68 year old guy, roughly 2 miles and 99 reps into his workout had to ask someone to take the WEIGHTED VEST he had been wearing up until then.***
When BR passed the vest he said “It’s stupid not to ask for help, no that not right, It’s stubborn to ask for help and that is stupid.” And that is really it. I have told this story before but I have lost 50 pounds in the last 5 months. But I don’t owe it to hard work, I don’t owe it to a positive attitude. I owe it to having the courage to ask for help. After fighting my weight for years and hearing my doctor’s repeated pleas that someone with my history i need to lose weight.
Well after working out 6 days a week and logging several seven-packs for 6 months I had lost less than ten pounds. The exercise was not the problem any more I was. I finally said Doc I need help. He got me to a specialist and she developed a plan. And it worked. Ill say it again. One of the hardest things a man can do it admit he needs help. Whether it is with, work, parenting or just life. It is hard to ask for help.
We did this workout today to honor those who were lost on 9-11. But we also need to remember those who experienced loss on 9-11 and those who are still experiencing loss. Whether the loss was loved ones, acquaintances, health or just faith in man.
So we ask you god to be with those who have lost because of 9-11 and those who still deal with all the after affects of that fateful day. And we ask the you help us to have the courage to ask for help when we are facing something we can not handle alone. In Jesus name we pray. AMEN

Bob Ross had the foresight to mention that the first plane hit at 7:46am, which would be during our workout. So we set an alarm and took a knee for 60 seconds of silent prayer during that minute. It was a great moment.
Then we resumed our “Balls-to the wall”
