Circle of Trust
I was planning to Map out an elaborate route with a secrete message and some really cool PT last night but then I got in a fight with my M… and spent the rest of the night doing dishes.
So my COT is Communicate, I have been married 19 years and have had many fights with my wife over the years. When I look back almost all of them have really been about one thing. Poor communication. Assuming, when your are not sure, expecting the other to know what you are talking about, especially when you have not conveyed it. These are not the recipes for success. So men, whether its with your Wife, your Girlfriend, your kids, or your co-workers, be clear in your expectations and honest if you are not sure what the other is saying.
…So you don’t end up on the couch like YHC!
Let’s Pray…
Dear Lord
Thank you for this day, for these men, for the opportunity to join together in the gloom to get better every day.
Please hear the prayers on our hearts and be with our friends and family that need you, especially the PAX that are dealing with Covid and other health issues.
We ask this in Jesus name,
Amen
Naked Man Moleskin
I always struggle to find ways to make Ruck Clubs more interesting and a more complete body workout.
My biggest frustration is finding ways to keep the group together while making sure is getting enough work.
Today’s ‘Pearls On A String’ type workout seemed to do a decent job of that. The mile count was not very big, maybe 1.5, but I got a decent sweat on and my arms/ shoulders where definitely feeling it by the end.
Hopefully others agreed.
FNG Today – “Playdate” – Was the Boyfriend of MomsGroup’s daughter. Hopefully the antics of a few PAX who where chasing after deer did not scare him off. He lives at Four Lakes so hopefully he’ll post at IL
