Locked gates brings pole work

We found the football field/track LOCKED for the first time in years, so the weinke was modified. We made it work at this “moderate” AO with getting in around two miles of running, sprints and a little mall walking using the light poles.

All enjoyed dishing out advice to one of our newest pax and today’s war baby Cliffhanger, whose wife is expecting.

For those of us with older kids in various stages, we have many things to ponder as they grow older and wisdom to pour out (when asked for.)

Prayers up today for our kids, aging parents and a few pax going thru some struggles and challenges.

Lessons, Learnings and Mahktar Ndiayes

WARMUP: Mosey to behind Empire for COP with various exercises in cadence including; SSH, Imperial Walkers, Hillbilly Walkers and a question answered incorrectly by the PAX. Therefore…..5 burpees OYO.

THE THANG: 3 lessons – 3 stations

Lesson 1 – The examined life is the one most worth living. We don’t learn from our experiences. We learn by reflecting on our experiences, then hopefully applying the learning in a positive way lest we repeat failure.

Lesson 2 – Mosey to the corner of Lowe’s: Today’s habits are tomorrow’s influence. Our “ordinary” is what others see. Our children and those we influence will emulate us. Why? They learn by watching us. And more are watching than we realize. More on that in lesson 3

11’s were called (month of November) – Hand-release merkins on one side and Makhtar Ndiayes on the other. Barry Manilow was highly pleased. PAX did this exercise together at three different points behind Lowe’s until the mulch piles were reached.

Lesson 3 – 2.8 – We influence an average of 2.8 people per day. In our lifetimes – it adds up to between 10,000 and 80,000 people. Our ripple effect matters – how are you cascading your influence? 3 series of 8 flying squirrels and 2 super slow burn squats with modes of transport varying between lunge walks and jogs.

A mosey to the grassy area near COT for Knee-tar Ndiayes and monkey humpers.

A mosey to behind Chik Fil A where we took geometry class by doing protractors, hello dolly’s and rosalitas depending on the angle.

A mosey back down the hill to COT and, according to Barry Manilow – it looked like we made it.

MARY: No time – open to all men.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Of course
COT: Will always be the 5th core principle

PAX were challenged to be a stone in someone’s life. At an age range of 47-58, there is insight to be shared and others will benefit. Being that somebody by serving in this capacity is taking one meaningful step toward leaving our world better than we found it.

The lessons shared served as a reminder to the importance of the roles we serve in our homes and communities. They learn by watching us. Always.

Thanks for the call, Peach Stand.

Honored,
Cyclops
