Don’t Carry Your Burdens Alone

Leave a comment

Theme: How are you carrying your burdens?

Think about these things:

How the weight of your burdens feels as you physically move around.

How hard would it be to carry multiple burdens at a time?

How hard would it be to carry these burdens alone?

How does it feel to lay your burdens down?

Carry the Burden

Brick never leaves you. Hold it in one hand, carry to chest, overhead, do push ups on it, etc.

Thang

4 stations around Veterans Park/Main Street. 2 exercises at each station. 10 reps each.

Station 1 – Veterans Park
American Hammer and LBCs

Station 2 – Hobos
Merkins and Curls

Station 3 – Top of Main
Thrusters and Reverse Lunges

Station 4 – FM Pharmacy
OH Press and Shoulder Raises

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. – Matthew 11:28

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. – 1 Peter 5:7

A burden shared is a burden halved.

The weight you carry today builds the strength you’ll need tomorrow.

Don’t Get It Caught in The Zipper

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Run up to old hot dog place parking lot corner of Main and Clebourne, plank then wait for the group to explain the thing.

THE THANG:
THE ZIPPER
– Ran to end of Springs St to Summersby, then took a right to corner of Unity and Lockman. That was the start, or hoped it to be.
– For every road we headed west on (from Unity St, ending at Pine St), we did 10 squats, 10 merkins.
– For every road we headed EAST on (from Pine St, ending at Unity), we did 10 mountain climbers (double count) and 10 bombjacks.
– Whenever we crossed Springs St, we did a burpee.
– Proceeded street to street until we got back to Main and Tom Hall.

This was the plan, but evidently I did not communicate it clearly enough. Even so, PAX figured it out and got all the miles and pain stations in.

Guys were REALLY moving today, we all put in at least 3.5-3.75 miles, yet still got back to COT in time to do some Mary
Flutters
American Hammers
Hello Dollies
More
Next time I will add more pain stations.

Thanks self for the opportunity to lead.

1 Shovelflag, 2 Qs, Triple-check, and Lots of Rocks

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Jekyll started out. Standard fare for warm up before starting a mosey.

THE THANG:
Mosey down to lowest point in Kingsley area. Pax instructed to “chose wisely” from the pile of quarry rocks.

Together, pax did 3 rounds of 3-sets of exercises:
– Curls
– Overhead presses
– Tricep extension

Q stick handed over to OldBay where we moseyed up to shopping center stairs (near the hotel) to find instructions for “Triple Check”

Pax form groups of 3. From each group, 1 pax does a wall sit, one an exercise (listed below), and one runs around the shopping center building (including up the stairs). Once all pax in the group had done all positions, moved on to the next exercise. The exercises were as follows:

1. Merkins
2. Heels to heaven
3. Seal jacks
4. Box Cutters

Times up! Head back to COT.

COT:
Shovel flag hand-off from Jekyll (co-founder of Dawn Patrol) to YHC. Big shoes to fill, and honored to have the opportunity to lead at this amazing AO.
