Fountain of Youth

1 Comment

I was a last-minute substi-Q for Olaf. I almost thought I was going to have to go it alone, for the clock hit 0515 and I was solo. As I was running off Flounder showed up hot. I was SO glad because if I were to be solo I know I would not have pushed myself as hard. THANK YOU FLOUNDER! I know I have not been the best at posting lately, so this was a hands-on learning lesson as to why it is important to post even if you are not 100% into it – others could be relying on you to be there.

Warmup: Jog to the lot behind Just Fresh, then 15-20 of each: SSH, WM, IW, HW, MNC

THE THANG: The Fountain of Youth
Average age between me and Flounder was 64, but we do our best to try not to let our age slow is down. It is a number and a mentality. You are as young as you think you are!
At each of the four benches around the fountain there was a cone, and each cone had 2 exercises on them. Start with one exercise on one cone, do the exercise, then run the lap – from the fountain go to one of the roundabouts, run the roundabout then run to and around the opposite roundabout, then back to the fountain. It is a loop of approx 1/3 mile. Then go to the first exercise on the next cone. Repeat for the first exercise on each of the four cones. Once done, repeat for the 2nd exercise on each cone. Exercises on each cone were:
– Cone 1: 25 burpees and 50 step-ups (2ct)
– Cone 2: 50 LSS and 50 lunges (2ct)
– Cone 3: 50 merkins and 50 plank jacks
– Cone 4: 50 LBC and 25 box cutters

That took pretty much the rest of the time until COT.

Had a good amount of convo with Flounder. This guy is a huge HIM and someone who is definitely a vessel through which He works. It was great having some one-on-one time with him. GREAT way to start off the week!!!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter, get involved!

COT: Many prayers and praises were shared between the two of us, especially coming off of mother’s day.

Thanks for the impromptu opportunity to lead.
