COP: arm circles, cherry pickers, DQs, SSHs, Mt. climbers, WWIIs & Merkins.
Mosey to Carillon Field for Eye of the Storm: Start in the center of the field. Burpees x 5 then run to a corner, perform the following exercises, and back to the center until all 4 corners completed. Also, perform burpees x 5 upon each return to center. Corner 1: Squat Jumps x 5, Corner 2: SSH x 30, Corner 3: Merkins x 30, Corner 4: LBC x 30…it was at the end of this one that EFH began to get a little intimate with my headlamp. Luckily, it was marking the center of the storm and not on my head.
To the Valley of Ill Repute for 7s. 6 Merkins then run to the other side for 1 WWII and so on. Like 11s, but it was 7s.
Shout out to Sippy Cup for leading us, a couple times today, in excellent plank work as we waited on the 6.
SSHs Plus – We switched to a lower gear to get those heart rates down, but only a little. Formed a circle. Did SSHs OYO (at your own speed). A member of the pax, when called on, initiated a core exercise. 15 were done. Then returned to SSHs. Circle K, Honeymoon, Bone Thugs & Purple Rain all hooked it up.
Mosey to the rusty cage for more 7s. Pullups 6-1. More jump squats 1-6.
Partnered up with a Coupon. Timer Murder Bunnied while the other did curls, then press, then KB swings. Lots of modifying going on at this point in the beatdown.
Long Native American run BTTF with PAX performing 2 burpees when at the end of the line. This experiment worked better than expected.
Numbers & Names.
Announcements:
Oyster let us know that Breaking Bread has open spots and we are now able to break bread w/ the folks there. Oyster will let us know a head count, for planning purposes. Feel free to double the fun by doing it with another pax and get those Ms and 2.0s involved.
No need for more volunteers at VA Home for Boys and Girls today. Thanks to Honeydo, Whitesnake, Pigskin and EF Hutton’s daughter for all stepping up to help!
Boberry let us know that there is a new ruck (see the ruck channel on Slack for extra dets). They will be talkin’ Q source, talkin’ leadership and ruckin’. Check it out!
Prayer Request:
Bone Thug’s father is experiencing health effects from his weight, but he’s losing it. Excellent! Keep him in your prayers as he moves forward on his journey.
Hitchhiker has struggled for a while now with sciatica. And today, his right knee got injured. Please pray for him to have a FULL recovery.
Prayer: YHC led us in a hybrid meditation/prayer. Remember those you can’t live without. Tell them. You never know what tomorrow holds. And for those you carry a resentment against, maybe it’s time to let it go. I’ve found, it only hurts me to hold on. Consider the part in the Lord’s Prayer that says, “…forgive us our trespasses, AS we forgive those who trespass against us…” Drop the rock. Get free. Go give some love and enjoy the heck outta this weekend gents!
