CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I cannot remember what we discussed…However, here’s what’s on my mind: Mission helps us put in perspective a lot of the difficulties and suffering we will encounter. Humility allows us to lay down our own definition of success and get about the Mission. Faith empowers us to pick up the tasks related to the Mission and really fully engage, trusting that the long term outcome will be worth it (See Hebrews 11:13-16).

MOLESKIN:
This was probably my favorite “partner” workout to date, being paired with Nature Boy. He hadn’t been to the Barracks before and remarked on the layout, the beautiful yet simple pullup and dip bars. It’s a fantastic place. The new track is beautiful. Nature Boy was a great companion on this duo workout. Great to hear updates about his brother being in town. He is going to be a beast at GrowRuck.
