  • Soccer Shots & FNGs

    Two young FNGs joined a nine-man PAX of bootcampers and walkers in the warming gloom. Warmarama. Four-corners on the stone dust track. Partner wind sprints on the tennis courts. Just for fun, a penalty kick soccer shoot out with a very lopsided outcome. Ring of fire.

    FNG 1: Peter Grigg, age 12, dubbed “Nacho Libre”

    FNG 2: Jimmy Grigg, age 9, christened “Wolfgang”

  • 12-Count

    Follow the light of a lantern across a babbling brook to the hoedown in the woods. We explored new territory to do wheelbarrow races, merry-go-round pull ups, and soccer drills. 12-count exercises to mark my son’s 12th birthday today.

    Upchuck announced upcoming trips to the Bridge in April and May

  • Eph 4:29 Hoedown

    Nine-man PAX in the frigid gloom.

    Theme was the power of words, for good or ill, and the exhortation from Ephesian 4:29 to get rid of foul talk and replace it with speech that builds others up.

    Exercised in snow and on pavement.

    No prayer requests or announcements.

    Highlight: Crunchy Frog’s penguin slide down the icy slope
