1 Q 2 Q 3Qs 4Qs at The Yard

WARMUP: Bitcoin took us thru the disclaimer and a solid Warmup, complete with Imperial Walkers Hilly Billy Walkers, Wind Mills Cherry Pickers, which all began w a mosey.

The Thang:

Old bay grabbed the Q stick and walked us thru his maze of cones.  Some Pax paid attention and some Pax (well) not so much…
Old Bay
Zig-Zag Cone Course
– Line up for run through cone course by all (backwards run to start)
– Partner up (size not matter)
– Partner 1 does stationary exercise while partner 2 does moving exercises through the cone course
– Flapjack and then plank up until six is in
– Proceed to next round

1. LBCs –> lunges
2. American Hammer–>bunny hops
3. Peter Parkers –> karaoke
4. Flutters –> toy soliders
5. Hello Dollys –> backwards lunges
6. Low Plank –> butt kickers (2x)
Fogerty grabbed the Q and lead the Pax onto the Turf football field for a full 100yd ladder at every 10 yd markers.  Each pax added a rep up until mid field and then removed one rep until they reached the other goal line. Pax stated with 1 bombjax and 1 merkin at the 10yd line….2 of each at the 20, 3 of each at the 30yd line…Pax made their way back to the original goal line with same cadence but this time it was squats with overhead clap. Pax headed back to COT when Buddy ( Cousin Eddie son) took the Q stick and led the entire group back to COT w some butt kickers, Grapevine switching sides, Hops and finally a mosey to Circle up for 3 mins of Mary. Buddy did not relinquish the Q stick and led the pax in a round of Big Boys until time was called. Mumblechatter erupted around the 15th rep….but we were all better for it !! Nice job Buddy!!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: stuff the bus, HIM camp next weekend and a round of prayers / praises from every pax.
Bass took us out in prayer.

However I felt it important to share with the guys what is happening around them. We also were able to congratulate Double D in his hand off of Nantan to Esso. Double D, thank you for you service to the pax. You have always been someone who ask the tough questions that challenge us and I thank you for that and what you did for our Region during your reign as Nantan. Esso, I look forward where you are going to take us and your energy to lead. We have a bright future ahead.

Being Present

It was an honor to spend this morning with so many leaders in our community. 16 was the count for 4.65 miles. The route was as follows: R on 160 towards downtown, L on Main, Cross over Clebourne to Springs, R on Summersby where Springs ends, R on Unity, R on Tom Hall, Cross over Main to Clebourne, R on 160, L into parking lot.

Today’s COT was a reminder of the value in posting each morning. We have the opportunity to live life with High Impact Men that make us better. We discussed fatherhood, health challenges, stress, and being the leaders our community needs. Keep a lookout for upcoming challenges from The Fort’s SLT. We are needed now more than ever.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead, Anchorman. And thanks to the PAX for helping me start my day off on the right foot!

Aye!
Italian Job
