We had a great group this morning to kick off another cool morning – love it. I haven’t been to this AO in a while and it felt good to be back. I planned for 45 minutes, but found that I was way short on exercises. The Jack Webb’s and Indian Run around the school were audibles. Always have a watch! Thank you for the invite <@U790WHUKC>.

Guys don’t curtsy

Leave a comment

Kept it simple, a little mosey warmup then did some crazy curtsy lunges. A lot of them. Butt was sore for days. Lots of leg exercises to help with running for later in week. We also did a good bit of an work. Finished with the usual hip exercises and all of them. Good message about getting focus off yourself and on others to make an impact.

Cindy is missing!!!

Leave a comment

Did a warmup near shovel flag as we anticipated the arrival of our fearless Q. SSH, windmills, shoulder taps, Imperial Walkers and Peter Parker’s. Decided we would take a mosey down to the next stop for a few other exercise’s. Was headed to see Cindy but she was kidnapped so we had to improvise with rocks instead. Tricep extensions, curls, overhead presses and squats. 3 rounds of 20. Anchorman put us on a DORA with merkins, big boys and squats. With a few minutes left Old Bay gave us a wall sit exercise to round things out. Back to COT for ab lab led by the pax. Shorty will get another chance to redeem himself in the next few weeks. Peace out.

Choose your running pain

Leave a comment

8 enjoyed the return of the end zone buckets. At each football field end zone a bucket contained tickets of running pain. We ended up just over two miles of sprints, light jogs, fast jogs and a smidge of mall walking. A few ten counts and some conversation about Aladdin’s Castle and pac man made for a good 1-0 to start the day.

We prayed for hurricane relief and a few shared of health struggles for loved ones as well as job stress.

Blessed to be included and have never not enjoyed being out with the guys.
