COT: Great energy among the group today! Good to see the strong support for Happy Hour. Can’t wait to see his first full Q! Message today around Hope was aimed at challenging each of us to reflect on where we place our hope — is it your own ability, government, employer, money, your friends, family, etc….they will fail you. They’re all human constructs and thus flawed and faulty. Dig deep and anchor your hope in something/someone outside yourself and the everyday world you see around you. For me, that’s my creator, who loved me and believed in me before I ever took a breath. Find that solid rock that won’t fail you.

Thanks to all, especially Poppins and Happy Hour this morning.

Get your $hit off my lawn

WARMUP: Tinsel handled it

THE THANG: unload heavy gear and stack in middle of parking lot. (leave no trace) Split into teams. Pick home base and designated “front yard”. Set timer between 3-4 minutes. Go. Run from home base to junk pile and grab as much gear as you can and haul it over to opposing teams base and dump it on their front yard. Repeat until nothing remains in middle and if trimmer hasn’t sounded go to your own homebase and clear the crap out of your front yard. Different rounds the completion goal varied but the results were the same.

Q point of the week is Q2.02 which is Influence:Igniting a palpable desire for movement.

PGA Championship at Slowburn

WARMUP:
Moseyed over to the driving range where we performed a few exercises like SSH and the walker brothers. Then moved to the putter green where we did a few yoga moves to make sure we were limber so we could hit the long ball

THE THANG:
For those who are not golf fans, the PGA Championship is being played this weekend at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa OK. With that I decided to design a workout around golf. Using the scorecard for the tournament I used Par as the means of travel between tee to green and yds as reps. For instance, Par 4, 465 would mean we ran to the green, roughly 50 yds, then did 4 flying squirrels for the 100s and 65 American Hammers. The 100s was always Flying Squirrels. The other exercise changed each hole.

Par 3 and 5 you NUR between tee to green.

“Lightning”was seen so we had to stop after 17, but pax didn’t seem to mind to skip the last hole and head for COT
MARY: no time

ANNOUNCEMENTS: read newsletter

COT:prayers for Change Orders dad and family, prayers for Spark Plugs sister for successful surgery, prayers for Cable Guy’s family as they continue to mourn the loss of his son and grief they are working through.
