"The Four Agreements With A CrossFit Twist" – from CrossFit Mission Gorge

Interesting impressions from "Freedom In Exile," the first autobiography of the Dalai Lama:

  • He eats meat. He was a vegetarian for about three months, and then contracted Hepatitis B, and had trouble fighting it off. Now his doctors tell him he has to eat meat with every meal.
  • He considers that exercise and breathing techniques are critical to prayer. "The stronger the body, the greater the service."
  • Likewise, he considers that any activity done with the goal of creating benefit for others to be "religious" – on the other hand, whole congregations can be involved in "non-religious" work when their delivery creates barriers with others
  • Views his job as an example of someone who removes barriers between people

Right: Jason Brenton, part of the Green Army at Regionals, gets interviewed on his dominant Event #2 performance. He's got a team in the Catalyst Games 2011….only five days left to get registered!

Congratulations to AJ Bisceglia and Sarah McLeod on the birth (finally!) of Alexa Jane!
