It’s about community

WARMUP: The heartstrings got loosened up out of the gates as Warning Track unloaded some baggage from a tough week, acknowledging the challenges of Living Right through the Flux of life and the importance of showing up this morning to be lifted up by his brothers. He followed up with the Obligatory SSHs and then set off from WEP.

THE THANG:

WT took the pax to the old Pike Elec parking lot stopping for some windmills, burpees and other fun enroute.

Pax broke into groups of 3 for a modified Dora across the parking lot. Midway through WT called audible due to pax incompetence and simplified to Dora in groups of 2. Terrible things like Merkins, squats, lunges, flutters, burpees, etc were unleashed on the pax

WT took pax to Memorial Park for more burpees and more shared pax stories of Why they come out to the Gloom on a wet Sat morning.

DD took the reins and moved the pax to a series of parking lots (pharmacy), Pike front courtyard, Town Hall back wall for pain stops including shoulder taps, wall sits, plank jacks, burpees, mtn climbers, peter parkers, Parker peters, etc.

Pax returned to WEP to appreciate JWOW’s lovely Christmas tree. Two rounds of partner work included bear crawls around tree + flutters followed by crawl bears around tree + HR merkins.

Mosey to grass in front of band shell for more partner work (merkins, shoulder taps, sit ups) interspersed with some burpees and lap around band shell. Finished off with Knee Tar N’dyae and Mahktar N’dyae.

Mosey home

MARY: included throughout

ANNOUNCEMENTS: coffeteria at HC

COT: great morning where we welcomed 3 FNGs + a Kotter while pax from 30s to 50s mixed it up and pushed each other to get 1% better.

“Our youth are our present” I heard my pastor say from the pulpit recently. Note he did NOT say “our future.” It’s as true in The Fort and in our community as it is in NYC with a 34 yr old mayor. Younger pax, you ARE leaders today — embrace your opportunity and duty. Seasoned pax — your leadership focus IS about bringing along the next generation of leaders — embrace your opportunity and duty.
We are blessed men to have these roles at this time.

Thanks to JWOW for the opportunity and Warning Track for the partnership.

Love you brothers!

Wheel of Misfortune and too many reps

Since I was going to be DR for my birthday, I decided to do my birthday Q a day early. I wanted a good one and didn’t realize how good it was.
WARMUP: SSH, windmills

They included:
10 OH Press
25 Decline Merkins
25 Curls
25 Squats with the block on your back
25 Big Boys with the block
25 Chest Press
25 Bent over rows
Run around the playground.

My intention was to do 420 reps, but we all know what happens when we try to count when we are working out, so we ended up with 3 rounds of 480 reps.

MARY: Everyone called something for the last 5 minutes
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter. Lots of opportunities to give back.
COT: Prayers for a good 43rd trip around the sun.

Rain or Shine, the East Side Shows Up

On this dark and gloomy day, I did a buddy a solid and took the Q while he had a last-minute conflict. I knew it was going to be raining, but I also knew that there were plenty of places to still get in a workout and stay dry at the same time at <#C02QBPU3S5N>.

Now, I admit, I haven’t been here in a while, but I was surprised when I showed up that NO ONE FROM THE WEST SIDE WAS THERE. I mean, it’s right around the corner from where a lot of you live. It’s a great AO with a lot to offer, and yet no one but 2 Eastsiders made it out?? You guys are missing out if you are not coming to <#C02QBPU3S5N>.

My only compadre was <@UN6PTD007> who is my SL ride or die. (Thanks bud!). Now, we did discuss bailing and going to Biscuit Belly, but decided that we needed to get some work done. So, off to the shelter we went.

WARMUP: Windmills, Moroccan Nightclubs, SSH

THE THANG: We put a board at the end of each concourse at the school. Each board had 6 exercises on it. The count for each was 10 reps. After completing that, run to the end of the next concourse and do that board at 10 reps. After we completed a round, the rep count increased by 5. It was a full body workout of abs, arms, legs, and a little running. This is one of those that is sneaky but will catch up with you later.

MARY: N/A as we did so many abs during the workout.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: So many things are going on. Pick something to help out with or support.

COT: Prayers for busy times and finding peace in them. Prayers for travels over the next few weeks.
