Introduction
We’re in for a heatwave tomorrow compared to this weekend, so come join YHC for a VQ at LaunchPad aka Missile Cabin.
Bring those coupons! We’ll be on the move to get some miles in and stay warm, but on pavement. Expect a full body burn and we’ll try to have some fun too.
I was looking forward to my VQ and we had a great turnout and fantastic group.

Yesterday afternoon got me thinking about balance. Balance between work and play. Balance between family and work. Balance between friends and family. Years ago I got absorbed in work, putting in way too many hours and found myself spending less and less time with family and friends.
We all make choices in life and we live with the ramifications of those choices. Today I let you all decide which exercises that you wanted to do 30 reps, 40 reps or 50 reps. I encouraged you to focus on your weaknesses and try to make yourself more balanced physically. The same balance should be strived for in your lives. Work hard, play hard. Be a great son, friend, boss, co-worker, father and community member. Thank you all for showing up. We ended in the Lord’s Prayer. God bless.

Thanks Cupcake for having my 6. My VQ at LaunchPad and I really enjoyed it. Thanks to the 16 PAX that showed up and brought the energy. Most of us barely got to the 5th round but the running surely kept every warm and their minds off the temperature. I hope that everyone enjoyed the workout and got the opportunity to improve. Thanks and SYITG soon.
