Numbers/Names/Announcements/Prayer Requests

YHC skipped the prayer and talked about my perspectives on Grow Ruck (shocker)

Final Thoughts:

This was YHC’s 5 year Q versary! Hard to believe it has been that long – so many great memories and friendships. It was also awesome having Touchdown out there, who was 10 when I started; and is now slightly taller than me. Appreciate all who came this morning and everyone in the larger group. With my shoulder temporarily out of commission, we had to stick to legs and abs only – but of course, the PAX adapted, overcame, and were looking strong. Great seeing P Trap back out!
