Mosey to the office entrance for a team competitive activity:
We split up into two teams, finding out after some difficulty that 10 is not half when two PAX are doing an IR workout…
All wall sit while one PAX at a time on each team teams runs 20 yards, hits one 1 burpees, runs back.
Winning team chose to do balls to the wall or 5 burpees
Repeato with wall sit then one at time run 20 yds and hits 2 WW2s, runs back
Each team won once to spread the burpees around!

Prayers to those families affected by mental health issues and awareness of suicide prevention. A couple little things we can all do is be a little nicer to everyone around us, but especially to ourselves, with our inner monologues chattering back not as our worst critic but as a dear friend. AYE
