Introduction
I got to Complex early on a brisk Monday morning to make sure I was ready for the PAX to arrive. I planted the shovel flag and waited for Poutine to show up and waited and waited. 5:15 came and no Poutine well, it looks like I am on Q today so I better make it a good one. In the back of my mind, I wanted a change up from an out and back so I devised a plan during warm up.
Warm-O-Rama

The Thang
Thang 1 Indian Run
Split the PAX into three team for an Indian Run to Knox Knolls
I wanted to change it up and push each other. We ran to the parking lot and planked for the six.
Thang 2 Sprints
Parking Lot Sprints. I like sprints and know we don’t do enough of them. Plus, a little competition makes us better. It’s always a race. There was a lot of huffing and puffing by the end of this.
Thang 3 Indian Run
Indian Run back to the Complex. At the end of this it was clear that the PAX were really feeling the increased pace and a couple of PAX slowed down before spilling merlot.
Thang 4 Fartlek Training
We are not done yet. We jogged at your own pace (many PAX rejoiced at this) around the parking lot and sprinted down the side by the tennis courts.

Circle of Trust
The M is supposed to be the most important relationship. I am guilty of neglecting this relationship and not giving it the time and care that it needs. We come out in the gloom to train our bodies, get our mind right, and get ready for the day so that we can be better husbands, fathers, and leaders in the community. So go out and love on your M and kids today. They need it.
Lord, thank you for this day and the opportunity to get better. Help us to love our M and kids better. Help us to be a light and a leader in our communities.
Naked Man Moleskin
Never take for granted the opportunity to lead others.
