NMM
We are encouraged each year to choose our “one word” – the word that will guide our intentions, hopes, and maybe changes. This year I chose “stand.” There are times I will need to stand up for those without a voice. To stand firm in my beliefs and convictions. To stand out from my peers. But also, to stand down when the battle is not mine to fight. To me, stand represents who I will be when the pressure increases.

I encourage you to find your word – a word that will challenge you to do what you know needs to be done. Let it motivate you to stay the course when life gets hard. It’s a simple exercise that may pay huge dividends.

Aye!

Minnow Party

Leave a comment

Lots of people showed up, unfortunately they got me on Q. Original plan was to run with merkins to Riverview elementary school, but with so many pax I decided to stay local. Plan was to run around town with Jack Webb. We began with five merkins and twenty overhead claps. Twelve stops around town increasing the rep counts by one and four respectively. Added some additional exercises (Squats, lunges, calf raises) while we waited for the six to arrive.
Total count: 126 merkins, 504 overhead claps.
we had time for a pairing sprint up the Massey hill.

Quick run up to Hobo’s for some warm-up of a few SSH, IWs, and Mountain Climbers. Most down to the mill stone at the bottom of Main to find the 10×10 board waiting.

THE THANG:
The 10×10 board.

We started with 10 of #1, then ran to the top of Massey, did 1 burpee, then returned to the board. Next round 10 of #1, and 10 of #2, then ran to the top of Massey for 1 burpee (not 2). Continued accumulation until we got through the last item on the board.

That’s all we had time for. Excellent work by all men. Thanks for the opportunity to lead, Cubbie!

Horse Shoe of Pain

Leave a comment

It was a crisp cool morning at Block Party, but the pain quickly brought warmth.
Quick mosey, warmups and we were off.

We ran down to the horse shoe driveway known as the Unity Church for lucky 7’s.
1 Squat, 1 Futter, 1 Merkin at the three points on the horse shoe. We did 7 loops around the driveway increasing the reps by one on each lap.

Next we ran over to the other church stairs down the road for a mini Dora.
Partner 1: 50 Lunges, 100 SSH’s, 150 American Hammers
Partner 2: Run a figure 8 up and down the stairs
Moseyed over to the lot across from Amoure Artis for some Mary with burpees (breathing exercises).

Back to COT for some more Mary, announcements, and prayer/praises.
