Small Crowd at Minnow Pond

Leave a comment

We had 6 BC, 3 Runners, I Rucker at Minnow Pond this morning. The rain kept some of the regulars at home. I switched my plans last minute due to the small numbers.
Pledge and we were off to the Pharmacy for some warm-up exercises (SSHs, IWs, MNCs)
Next stop, town parking lot where we did bearcrawl merkins. Mosey to the post office for the same exercises and added crawlbear CDDs.
Continued run down Williamson and Academy for another round of crawls merkins and CDDs. Two rounds up the hill with squats at the top and hand release merkins at the bottom.
Back up the hill in the opposite direction to the First Baptist parking lot. Relay race with exercises at each corner. 1st round merkins (5,10,15,20 count). 2nd round squats same count, Once the teammate completed the first station, next person started the relay. @U061FJV3GVD pulled a Seinfeld and started running early. Last stop was up to Tom Hall and back to Main Street for a set of V ups. We continued up and down Main Street circling back for the six. Two minute warning gave us time for a sprint up Massey.

Something of an Old Testament

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Goose set the stage with an intro to Shield Lock September, then handed the baton to Pusher

THE THANG:

Pusher — he led the charge (literally) out of the parking lot to the corner leading toward Red Ventures where he led a series of exercises interspersed with Burpees and Disruption. He then took the pax back to the parking lot for a series of sprints and lunges.

Cake Boss — he led the pax on a mosey to the plaza in front of the movie theater where pax grabbed a partner for some exercises (Dips, Derkins, Irkins and more) on the flower bed wall while flapjacking with an out-and-back run.

Double D — took the pax on a mosey to the al fresco dining area between ice cream shop and Greek joint. Pax grabbed a chair for 3 series of step-ups and planks/core exercises. All moseyed back to the parking lot to complete a final 10 Burpees before COT.

MARY: She participated throughout the Thang

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel shelter meal TONIGHT!!! Shield Lock Qs continue throughout September at Lazarus.

COT: We had a lively group of pax that sweated profusely and laughed fully about Goose's plan for October (WAGs month!) and Pauly D's "proceeding hair line" among other topics. It was great to have an age spread of 31 to 59 and F3 tenure ranging from 3 workouts to 14 years. Goose has the MILGA spirit flowing at full speed at Lazarus! Thanks for the invite to our Shield Lock! And shout out to our 4th SL member (Old Bay) who couldn't join us today.

The core message shared throughout the workout was "don't do life alone!" We all face challenges and Disruption in our lives and we all need Faith that takes an active human form of brothers surrounding us to get through those times. Our F3 brothers we see in the Gloom provide one level of support, AND the most reliable support will come from those who are CLOSEST to us, those few men we've truly opened our hearts to through regular vulnerability aimed at shared accountability. So take the risk and step into the uncomfortable zone of bonding with 2-3 other pax at a similar stage of life in a committed Shield Lock.

Thanks to the pax who posted today and helped my Shield Lock appreciate the gift we are to each other!
