two men this morning a great time in the gloom
**Warm-o-Rama**Moseyed around the area to get loose, working through the warm-up almost entirely in conversation with Trojan — good sign of an AO that’s found its rhythm. Don Quixote in cadence, Michael Phelps, obliques (right and left), capped off with 20 merkins (10 on a 2-count) to get the blood moving
.**The Thang***Baseball Diamond — 3 Rounds:*- 15 merkins at 1st- 15 squats at 2nd- 15 Freddie Mercuries at 3rd- 15 burpees at home
*Dora at the Playground:*Partner-style — one PAX ran the gravel track around the playground while the other worked through 25 pull-ups, 50 merkins, and 100 dips.
*Wall Work — The Great Wall at Bon Air Elementary:*Full stop for wall work, hoedowns, 15 donkey kicks, 15 milkers, and 15 more donkey kicks.
*Bus Loop Wind Sprints:
*A few sprints working up through effort levels — 50%, 75%, up to 100% — then moseyed back.
*Curb Work:*Closed out with 25 curb ups and some more ab work.**Mary*
*Cooldown and a prayer walk around the church.*
*COT**Good fellowship and conversation to close it out. Talked through the Hernán Cortés question — tool in the hand of God, or violent and objectionable conquistador? — with some solid reflection on the age of exploration. Trojan and I got into male leadership: the accountability that comes with hard decisions, and the need for bold leadership in the church — men willing to take risks for the Kingdom and for the good of their communities.**Announcements**- Snuff’s pool party — 8/28, 6:30 PM- Elle Woods leading a food distribution event on 8/29 — reach out to him for detailsAlways amazed how much you get out of a workout even when it’s just two men in the gloom. ?
