Reflection:  Hebrews 12:1-2

Therfore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfector of our faith.  Some of the PAX received weight vests for Christmas which adds a few pounds to their back to make each workout that much harder.  I asked Metrodog how nice it feels when he goes home and takes that weight off his back.  "Feels real good".  All of us, myself definitely included, tend to carry emotional/materialistic weights on our backs.  Grievances, regrets, mistakes, vengence, whatever it is.  This makes our walk harder.  Wouldn't it be nice to take that weight off our backs?  We'd be higher impact men for sure.  I write my "weights" down for reference.  We all have our demons we fight.  Call them out, write them down, and take them off your back.  You don't need them.  You've got more important things to accomplish.

Moleskin:

*Atlantis got rid of some of his weight during warm ups  #portapottyconvienance

*Great creativity on the Indian Run exercises

*Vortex  "Call them what you want, I'm calling them burpees"…classic

*Not too cold this morning, nice to get out of the hood to get a change of scenary

*Still can't figure-out how to do those jumpfrogs, however you try to do them, they still suck

*Pleasure to lead and be led by you gentlemen…..have a great weekend and be HIM
