John Wick vs James Bond

Here are the highlights from the penultimate running of The Halfpipe for the season.

  • Good to see Stroganoff back on the hills of The Halfpipe
  • At one point, a mini Q vs Q broke out when YHC deffered to Sargento and let him lead the PAX (of 2) through the neighborhood
  • Many discussion points including investment advice, prayer requests, and other stuff that I don’t remember at this point but were important at the time
  • The one discussion that has stuck with me was who would win in a battle if they were Mortal Kombat characters, John Wick or James Bond

YHC prayer us out.

NOTE: There is one more week of legitimacy for The Halfpipe. At that point, it drops into obscurity as a rouge off-the-books AO set to return next year to train the mind and body for race season.

Until next week…

Q Source:

‭Ephesians 6:18 ESV‬

[18] praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 

From “A Praying Life” by Paul Miller: “Jesus’ example teaches us that prayer is about relationship. When He prays, He is not performing a duty; He is getting close to his Father. Any relationship, if it is going to grow, needs private space, time together without an agenda, where you can get to know each other. When it comes to spending time with God, take baby steps. Don’t set impossible goals and then collapse. Consistency is more important than length. Regardless of how or when you pray, if you give God the space, He can touch your soul. God knows you are exhausted, but at the same time He longs to be part of your life.”

Thanks for the opportunity to lead..good group!

Hill Work At Folsom

We had 6 out this morning at Folsom.

We warmed up with : SSH, Hillbillys , Windmills, Gravel Pickers, Moroccan Night Clubs, Overhead claps, and Imperial walkers

We mosied up to the blocks and did 3 set of Curls, Tricep Extensions , Rows, and Swings at 15 reps each

We made our way down to the big hill and did a partner timed Dora. Partner 1 would do the work while partner 2 ran to the bottom and back then we switched off. The work consisted of: LBCs, Merkins, Big boys, Freddy Mercurys, and Squats. This gave each man a chance to run the hill 5 times.

We finished up just in time for COT!
