Test Taking Anxieties

Pledge of Allegiance right at 05:16 ( a little late due to mumblechatter)
WARMUP: Quick warmup right in the parking lot. All double count.
15 SSH
10 WM
15 IW
15 MNC
Then off to the corner of Main and Confederate to start the Thang.
THE THANG: The APFT – Army Physical Fitness Test
2 mile run
2 min of Merkins, AMRAP
2 min of big boy situps, AMRAP
Form matters or else it is not a rep.

Starting at the corner of Main and Confederate, the loop for the run was 4 laps of
– Down Main
– L on Academy
– L on Withers
– L on Confederate
– Back to corner on Main – that’s about .47 mi. Repeat 4X.
– 4th lap ended about halfway down Academy to make it an even 2 miles.

Everyone crushed it! Cubbie was king on the run, just below 8min pace. Tesh absolutely killed the merkins. Cubbie was also king on BBSUs.

Since the APFT calculator’s final scoring is based on age, the younger you are, the harder it is to pass, Tesh barely failed, but IMO he crushed it. That’s just fuel for next time.

I plan on Q-ing the APFT once a quarter to track progress.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read the newsletter. Get involved!

COT: The holiday season is a time for family, friends, and joy. Not everyone may have that in their lives right now. If you see or know someone in that situation, consider being the one that brings joy into their lives during the holidays.

Also, the holiday seasons – Thanksgiving and Christmas namely – are a time when most people open their hearts, and wallets, and give more than usual. That’s a blessing for sure, and I am not taking that for granted, but imagine how much better this world would be if everyone would do that all year around. We should not need the holiday season to encourage that from others, we should be living in love every day, just like He did.

Blessings,

No more burpees….sort of.

WARMUP: mosey to fire station lot
Windmills, low slow squats, imperial and hillbilly walkers and seal jacks all in cadence with a few burpees in between exercises – but just a few. YHC said no more burpees – but YHC should have said no more burpees…..for now.

THE THANG: part 1 – Mary to pull up bar for 30 seconds of pull ups or bar hangs while pax held plank. Upon completion of 6 rounds – pax moseyed on bottom of Tega cay drive hill.

Part 2 – Dora 1-2-3
100 burpees
200 squats
300 flutters

Change Order thought the idea of doing burpees and running hills was questionable. He wasn’t wrong. Pax persisted nonetheless.

Running to different points on the hill
Burpees – partner 1 run to yellow sign and back down to relieve partner 2 and flapjack.

Squats – partner 1 starts run from yellow sign to top of hill and back to yellow sign to relieve partner 2 and flapjack.

Flutters – partner 1 runs from top of hill to cluster of crepe myrtles and back to relieve partner 2

Mosey to ball field for part 3

Part 3 – left, right & center

Partner 1 planks at edge of infield behind 2nd base. Partner 2 runs to come in left field does exercise and returns to flapjack with partner 1. PAX did 3 rounds per partner

Left field cone – 10 lunges
Center field one – 20 bomb jacks
Right field cone – 30 flutters

PAX moseyed to COT for a stretch at 0728 where many of us were reminded of our lost flexibility and time was called at 0730.

MARY: she wasn’t there

ANNOUNCEMENTS: were announced

COT: 5th core principle

Thanks for the men who posted and chose the tougher thing on a chilly but glorious morning. And Uber – thanks for the call.

Honored,
Cyclops :eye:

30/30 Round 2

It was a crisp morning at <#C055Y70G5QE> and the Pax were fired up for some 30/30!

1st F
Run 10 yard and nur back 5 yards with adding a burpee at every 10 yard line.

Four corners action to close out 1st F.

3rd F

Topics What does living out your beliefs look like? What does your life look like when you are aligned with your beliefs and what does it look like when you are not?

We all agreed that whatever your beliefs are, it needs to come from a place of love. The meaning of love according to Bishop Robert Barren is to will the good of the other. When you are taking steps towards love, you are taking steps towards God, because God is love.
It is most important to show love to kids because studies have shown that kids brains get wired at a young age. A pathway of love at a young age is setting the ripple effect of a child in the proper trajectory toward a life of love.

We also touched on the idea that where sin abounds, grace abounds more. The grace that we have been given by our creator is not ment to be held onto, it is ment to be given away. The spiritual physics is the more grace you give away, the more you are given in return. When we hold onto that grace, we are turning that free gift into sin.

Nice work done by all! God bless!!
