Peace Be The Journey

I really enjoy Sunday afternoons. I get to go to church, make some lunch, and just chill. It's great! Many a Sunday afternoon, I do some baking (and a cheer goes up from AOS!)

Overhead med ball slams, weight sled push, ropes, box jumps and quick steps. I didn't have quite as weight on my sled as Michael did in the video, but it was plenty. Pushing a heavily weighted sled on fake grass is not easy, let me assure you. He
