SPEED HUMP! here’s where QiC started drawing the ire of the PAX –let’s get some Monkey Humpers going IC . As QiC drew near 20 count, it became apparent that a full on revolt was taking place. So what to do….more humpers! Ended with 50, feelin those hamstrings. Carry on to the parking lot
Thang 1: Cha-Cha Slide in tall plank
The hardest thing about this might have been just getting everyone in place–Q should not have been so ambiguous. Next time just circle up. ughhh
Plank and do what the song says . Just cut the mumble chatter and listen in 🙂

Announcements: Gauntlet May 4 — Forge preparties x 45 min going fwd, Warpath next weekend ! , 2ndF- being considered for Barney’s house prior to Gauntlet
Romans 5:3, James 1:2-3 “pure joy when you face trials…perserverence” Often we feel like every time we take 2 steps fwd, we take 1 back and keep getting knocked down — how do we continue on –lean on your brothers (and God and you faith). We do a lot of partner work to remind us of this. Prov 17:17 “a friend loves at all times , and a brother is born for a time of adversity” Psalm 133:1
Thanks for the chance to lead in a group of amazing men!
