7 PAX joined YHC in the gloom to take on the Sword challenge. It was a nice 74′ with 10000% humidity to make it just no fun to run so we have a punishment…

Warm O Roma: SSH, carrot pullers, Arm Circles, Slow squats,

Moleskin: Prayers for the pax dealing with issues at home, with family, job, etc.. . Also supporting thoughts for brother Force as he takes on a mission family this week. Lets hope he does not overfeed them too much with his culinary skills!

Very grateful for Ping giving me the opportunity to lead this fine group of men and Toxic 👊.
