Welcome FNG Airwolf and welcome all PAX to the new AO at Pleasant Knoll Elementary. The Ballroom has a new AO and possibly a new name. That is still to be determined. In meantime, 20 PAX and YHC took a tour of the grounds and got disciplined.

Introduced the PAX and away we went.

Mosey around back of school in the pitch black. Lights in the front, party in the back…..I mean dark in the back. Still able to mosey.

  • Lunge walk
  • Shuffle L/R
  • Karoke L/R
  • Mosey to playground

COP:

Weezer came in and led first few excercises

  • Low slow squats
  • ???? can remember 2nd move
  • Moracan nIght Clubs

YHC back at Q

  • Mtn Climbers

Count off in 4’s

Rotate stations after group doing swing crunches are done….2 rounds

Back in groups – 1 group at time runs hill, to steps and back to PAX wile other groups alternate excercises

  • Dips x3
  • Derkinsx3
  • lungesx3
  • sumo squat x3

PAX mosey down main drive. YHC after asking many of the PAX to define discipline, explained that we work hard to train and gain knowledge so that when things get hard, we have the discipline to push through and accomplish what we could not if we were not disciplined. Like facing a long uphill run back to COT. Its not how fast or what others are doing, but what are we willing to push through and get better at??

  • PAX ran back to shovel flag with strong finish
  • Freddy Mercurys
  • Supermans
  • Rosalitas
  • Hello Dollys

COT: Great PAX and Great AO. I’m looking forward to the growth potential at the New AO and the many new Q that went through Q school to get some fresh blood in the mix.

Get disciplined men so that when the storms come in life, you are strong and ready to face them.

Cake Boss out!

The Yard – Getting Hazy, Hot and Humid while getting better!

18 Men came to The Yard and it was crazy Hot

YHC did short mosey to COP

We did some stuff with the Dice of Pain and got loose

We then moseyed to the playground and found a whole new area that looked like fun, so we did some dips and swing crunches

Moseyed back around the school and did some wall sit and shoulder presses

We ran through the jungle gym to have some fun, while PAX were planking.

At this point we were dripping wet. IT was a soppy mess out there.

Mosey to the long drive and good news was we were in the shade

we hit every light pole all the way down doing the exercises on the ground and did same all the way back. Ran over the normal 7:50 mark but everyone was cool with it.

Mosey to COT and did a couple ab exercises then namarama.

The PAX finished strong in the muggy heat.

Our man Gilligan wanted to take off, but a couple of HIMs, Freon and Old Bay hung with the man and he finished. Gilligan shared with us that he is not the most fit guy but wants fellowship. We prayed for Gilligan, who in own words is not spiritual, and said we all have been there. We all need fellowship and we are trying to figure this life out together. I know I’m better today because of the PAX and that is why we need to continue to EH and help more guys realize what they are missing. #morethanaworkout

Cake Boss out!

A R O M Y backblast

I misspelled Armory with chalk in the parking lot and led the group around the lot to hopefully get a little better.

Each letter of the word had pretty routine kettlebell tasks to perform, running with bell to find the next letter in the word “Armory.” (The Y was in hinterland.)

 

A good warm up and off to the spelling bee.

 

We spent a good amount of time on our freedom theme for the month and had some great mumblechatter  about accountability to ourselves and family.

Prayers for Bear Grylls brother, and for Smithers’ F-I-L, on his last days.

Always thankful for the opportunity to lead.

What If

What an amazing day to be in the gloom! 19 Pax exercised their freedom by choosing to post and get better over the fart sack. My man Flacco blessed us with his presence. Seeing him gave me flashbacks of posting at WEP 4 years ago.

The Thang

Mosey to the Postal Route Office’s parking lot:

Warm-Up: Stretches, SSH (30x), IW (20x), WM (15x), Sumo Squats (15x), MC (15x), CDDs (15x), Moroccan Night Clubs/Overhead Claps (15x)

Mosey to Founders Federal Credit Union’s parking Lot:

One partner runs around the islands in the parking lot. The other does exercises then alternate until the team of two has done: Merkins (100x), LBCS (300x), Donkey Kicks (50x)

Mosey to Publix’s parking lot:

Partner up. Wheel Barrells to each side of the parking lot (2x), Partner Big Boy Sit Ups (15x for 2 rounds), Partner Ski Jumps (15x), Partners Push Ups (15x for 2 rounds), Partner Leg Lifts (15x for 2 rounds), Burpees (10x)

Moleskin:

You have the freedom to choose how you react to tough situations. Our faith will be tested and how we respond helps to define us.

We often think of the “what ifs” when we are tested. Those “what ifs” tend to take us on a downward spiral of negativity.

We can also respond to tough situations with an optimistic mindset of “God Is.” After all, doesn’t He provide your needs? The answer is undoubtedly “Yes!” You could not have made it out of tough situations in the past without His grace and mercy.

Stop thinking about the “What Ifs” and understand that “God Is.” God is stronger and powerful than your challenges.

Be encouraged and know that “God Is.”

Peace,

Deacon
