The Greatest of Birthday Gifts…Burpees!

Despite deceptively cold weather, four faithful Gridiron warriors participated in all 3 F’s this glorious Saturday morning.  Here is how it went down:

• Pregame – the PAX continued its study of 2 Peter 1 by looking at a series of verses on self-control:

• • Why self-control is important – Galatians 5:16-24
  • Where we find self-control – 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Timothy 1:7, Zechariah 4:6, Philippians 4:13
  • Why we need self-control – Titus 1:8, Proverbs 25:28
  • Words of Encouragement – 1 Timothy 6:12

• COP
  • 30 SSH
  • 25 IW
  • 20 DQ
  • 20 merkins
  • 20 LBC
  • 15 pickle pounders
  • 15 crab cakes
  • 15 monkey humpers
  • Arm circles – 10 big/5 small, forwards and backwards
• Mosey to the grassy knoll for 10 minutes of burpees
• 30 APD
• Mosey to the playground for a jerkin ladder – 7,6,5,4,3,2,1
• Mosey to football field for a arc loader
  • Bear crawl
  • Crab walk
  • High knee skip
  • Lunges
  • Bunny hops
  • Crawl bears
  • Karaokes
• Triple check – 200 yard run, WWII sit-ups, deep squats
• Mosey to pavilion for 25 dips, 25 step-ups (left leg), 25 dips, 25 step-ups (right leg)
• COT with YHC taking us out
• 3^rd F – breakfast at Einsteins

Announcements:

• Punisher will be 6:30 PM on Monday night. Come to Holden Elementary for a workout after the sun goes down.
• Circus Maximus will be starting at 7:00 am on Thanksgiving morning. Kettle bells before your favorite turkey trot.  Take note and make it a reality.

Today we celebrated the birthday of Earthworm, a “respected” member of the PAX.  What does one give a man who already has so much (great wife, good job where he is his own boss, 2 sons and a soon-to-be daughter-in-law, ability to write a BB in Latin, etc.)?  The answer – burpees and more burpees.  It is the gift that keeps on giving.  For some reason, I have not yet gotten my thank you note.  I am waiting.  I know it is coming.  You’re welcome EW; I know it was your favorite gift!

We had a few folks out today with injuries and travel.  It was quiet without White Deer.  I do not know which excuse Nightcrawler qualified for.  I am assuming that Friday night wine consumption played a role.

“A man without self control is like a city broken into and left without walls.”  (Proverbs 25:28)

God is good all the time.  Remember to give thanks this week.  We have much to be grateful for.
