THE THANG:
Moseyed up the Massey St Hill to the parking lot.
Counted off into 3 groups to engage in a DORA style workout.
50 Merkins, 100 BBs, & 150 squats per pax in your team. As the group completes the exercise, a pax runs down the hill and back. Swap out till all reps are done.

Moseyed over to the parking lot behind Springs Global on McCammon St for another DORA style. Maintaining the same group,
25 half burpees (down to merkin and back up stopping at the squat position as 1 rep), 50 Mike Tyson’s, 100 LBCs. 1 pax from each group runs to the end of the parking lot and back. Swap out till reps are completed.

Headed over to the parking lot with the big wall by Pike for some wall sits and merkins. Lined up on the wall, and from the outside in, each pax would do 10 merkins then back on to the wall. Once we got to the center, repeat going back to the ends.

WARMUP: broga…I crushed it and didn’t use my sissy yoga mat which I guess is now frowned upon. Who knows but the stretching was wonderful.
THE THANG: short run Dora…about 50 yard run way down in the elementary parking lot. Partner up for 100 diamond merkins, 200 lunges, 300 double count flutters.

Headed over to the hill for 7s. Hand release merkins at the bottom, half way up the hill for CDD. Before we started, YHC asked how to balance servant leadership with frustration with patience with a little bit of perspective.

After 7s we headed to the pull up bars with under 5 min remaining.
– 1 pull-up, dangle for 10 seconds, then
– 2 pull-ups, dangle for 20 seconds, then
– 3 pull-ups, dangle for 30 seconds, then
-4 pull-ups, dangle for 40 seconds…
Body wash won and made it to 4 and 40! He gets to continue being site Q!

Thank you for the opportunity to Q, Bodywash. I was pleasantly surprised with the turnout and pretty decent weather. We had some great conversation, a few laughs, and learned that Head Spin is a flexible dude. YHC and Ruby Slippers kept our head’s down out of fear of falling face first onto the pavement, unlike Bodywash how has great balance. Grout continues to crush it, Esso continues to make it look easy, and Tapout continues to have more energy than all others combined.

While standing in the COT today, the wind began to pick up. I couldn’t help but think of God’s presence in that moment. Often in the Old Testament, the Spirit of God is described as “wind” or “breath” (the Hebrew word Ruach). God’s Ruach is the source of life. My prayer for you today is that you will feel His Spirit and will be moved to act accordingly. Stay safe as Ian takes aim on the Carolinas. Focus on your faith and family and find time to enjoy the Ruach as it manifests in your life.

Aye!
