    We need PAX to step up to lead Q’s at Timberwolf and Satan’s Hill. I know some of the regulars are training for an upcoming marathon but we shouldn’t be reliant on just those HIM to lead Q’s at these AO’s. Sign up on Q sheet in advance if you’re interested. 

    You’ll notice I did Ball Dippers as an exercise 3 different times during this Q. That wasn’t by accident. I suck at that exercise and need to build up my leg strength. “Choose the harder route”. “Get comfortable being uncomfortable”.
