Mosey to the bottom of our favorite hill; Pax completed Jacob’s Ladder (7 trips up the hill, increase burpees on each one)

MOLESKINE:
1) YHC wanted to do some moving around. Coming off of a busted ankle, I appreciate the pax putting up with some slow jogging as we checked the area out.

2) While walking into coffeeteria, @Puzzlah pointed out to me that his entire front size was wet but back side was dry. This is the upside to doing burpees

PRAYERS:
1) Prayers for Cub Cadet’s coworker being recently diagnosed with throat cancer. Prayers for peace and strength in a difficult time
2) Prayers for @Supernova’s mother-in-law after her passing after illness. We pray she is safe in the Lord’s arms and that his family finds peace in a difficult time.
