Lessons, Learnings and Mahktar Ndiayes

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey to behind Empire for COP with various exercises in cadence including; SSH, Imperial Walkers, Hillbilly Walkers and a question answered incorrectly by the PAX. Therefore…..5 burpees OYO.

THE THANG: 3 lessons – 3 stations

Lesson 1 – The examined life is the one most worth living. We don’t learn from our experiences. We learn by reflecting on our experiences, then hopefully applying the learning in a positive way lest we repeat failure.

Lesson 2 – Mosey to the corner of Lowe’s: Today’s habits are tomorrow’s influence. Our “ordinary” is what others see. Our children and those we influence will emulate us. Why? They learn by watching us. And more are watching than we realize. More on that in lesson 3

11’s were called (month of November) – Hand-release merkins on one side and Makhtar Ndiayes on the other. Barry Manilow was highly pleased. PAX did this exercise together at three different points behind Lowe’s until the mulch piles were reached.

Lesson 3 – 2.8 – We influence an average of 2.8 people per day. In our lifetimes – it adds up to between 10,000 and 80,000 people. Our ripple effect matters – how are you cascading your influence? 3 series of 8 flying squirrels and 2 super slow burn squats with modes of transport varying between lunge walks and jogs.

A mosey to the grassy area near COT for Knee-tar Ndiayes and monkey humpers.

A mosey to behind Chik Fil A where we took geometry class by doing protractors, hello dolly’s and rosalitas depending on the angle.

A mosey back down the hill to COT and, according to Barry Manilow – it looked like we made it.

MARY: No time – open to all men.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Of course
COT: Will always be the 5th core principle

PAX were challenged to be a stone in someone’s life. At an age range of 47-58, there is insight to be shared and others will benefit. Being that somebody by serving in this capacity is taking one meaningful step toward leaving our world better than we found it.

The lessons shared served as a reminder to the importance of the roles we serve in our homes and communities. They learn by watching us. Always.

Thanks for the call, Peach Stand.

Honored,
Cyclops

Frozen tundra mumblechatter

Leave a comment

WARMUP: An adventurous warmup of circle runs and

SSH
IW
Tunnel touches
Merkins
Mtn Climbers
Overhead claps

One man ran two circles around us wilst we completed the various exercises.

THE THANG: We moseyed to the center of the park and partnered up. One partner ran half sped across the park whilst the other partner counted to 5 and then chased them down, completing the run to the concrete track. Jogged back. Repeated until everyone was annoyed.

Moseyed to the hill where the partners participated in the now trademarked “Indian Land Butt Sniffers Bear Crawl Uphill” :tm:

Then lunges uphill.

At playground – partners did planks, dips and grave diggers whilst partner ran around the playground.

The Mary was one set of flutter kicks.

Perhaps <@UGU3XR5RP> will have some comments but it was clear this was his favorite workout in months.

Dear Abby joined! We got a Chicago report.

We had the privilege of COT to express prayers for fellow Pax and also for Mrs DD.

Food drive to come!
