Link street on my heart

Leave a comment

Written by DOAH in slack: [commentary by Band Camp]

Heart Breakers: @U01NGHPR2HW and almost @U05TY21AC2X, but he uncommitted sometime last night…

The Thang: Route attached [was attached in slack, you could look up today's date on a PAX's Strava. Suffice it to say: we hit 3 miles. FMPD slow rolled our start this morning which kept YHC from running directly where I planned to go, but we made it over there another way. No complaints]. We stopped a lot and did a lot [5 each stop] of 6-Count burpees (a BC staple), [10] merkins, [15] squats, [20] flutters, with a few LBCs thrown in for bad measure. [We did an undetermined amount of these based on keeping the group together enough so nobody got lost. Kept things in cadence because that seems to help keep men accountable to actually doing the exercises. Something about pushing through pain and discomfort together. Started with just burpees. Next stop: burpees & merkins, etc.]

Moleskine: Sweat. Plenty of sweat. And some ramblings that implied some very limited understanding of the functional success of certain systems. Regardless, we went fast and didn't lose anyone along the way… except Slash… but he was lost by choice. Uptown Girl is still greatly disturbed by my presence and refused even so much as a fist bump this morning, but like a lot of folks who hate me when they first meet me (that list is long, right Crystal Lake?), I'll wear him down eventually.

COT: The Fort’tan gave a good thought about acting on those things that we feel called to do and not delaying. Prayers for EC as he heads off to get his head shaved and his spine straightened, and prayers for NASA as he sends his little bird out of the nest.

[Here's the deal. God doesn't put things on your heart for someone else to do it. Go get after it.]

Sharks and Minnows at The Block Party

Leave a comment

Lots of dudes showed up to the Pond Party this morning .
Pledge..Let's go
First stop, The Pharmacy for SSHs and a couple burpees
Next Stop, New parking lot, Old Hardee's
10 merkins, 10 Squats, 10 LBCs.
Partner up with like speed so you and partner arrive at the destination at same time. I didn't do a good job explaining this, no worries we made it safely to the Post Offices
Same exercises, back to the parking lot, same exercises with partner dips and merkins until six arrives.
Next, we ran to the First Baptist Church parking lot. I did my best to describe this workout as the merkin mile, 20 merkins at each island, each lap, 5 laps = 1 mile. Once complete, we did the same routine swapping out the merkins for squats and LBCs.
Back to COT
Prayers for Wegmans Boston Marathon adventure.

cot- DO NOT let fear control you. Its the root of anxiety, apprehension, and indisicion. We are called not to carry a spirit of fear by our faith in Jesus Christ. We will be carried even when we dont understand the mechanics.
