Orange is the new NC State Red

WARMUP: mossy to playground for SSH, IW, HW, merkins
THE THANG: Each PAX completed 10 pull-ups then ran the path. For round 1, 15 merkins at each swing. Complete another 10 pull-ups and repeat path with 20 LBCs at each swing. Complete another 10 pull-ups and repeat path with 15 squats. Wrap it up with 10 pull-ups. Not sure Dark Helmet completed pull-ups or proper merkins since he was in the dark the entire time. Slapshot was leader as he’s trying to encourage PSU football team to whip up on that school to the south (No Pusher that doesn’t mean South Carolina) – Ohio State. Maximus wore the new NC State colors orange for his failed bet on them beating Clemson (but the ACC is a basketball conference not football conference 🤷‍♂️). Band camp never stops pushing PAX and Kermit is still in cloud 9 for Tennessee (the real orange) for beating the other school to the south (again, not South Carolina nor Georgia). Bobber even posted and complained that the monkey bars were wet (isn’t he a fisherman? Aren’t they always wet?)
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: skeet shooting sign ups!! Shower curtain collecting coats
COT: prayers for Shower Curtain continued healing, balance – even better harmony.

Double Booked at Bushwood

COP
1:4 – 5:20 Burpees:SSH

“Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18:1‬ ‭‬‬

Lately, YHC has been feeling a bit out of sorts, and some of that has lead to isolation. Not excited about it in the least. But when things don’t seem to go our way, the verse rings true. We fall back into the comfort of isolation, listening to only our own voice – breaking out against all sound judgment. Accepting advice from no one.

Hill Suicides
Each Median Break
10, 20, 30 Merkins/LBC’s at each turning point.
10, 20, 30 Curb Dips/Flutters

“The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭20:5‬ ‭‬‬

We will drown if we do it alone. We must seek wise counsel – drawing out understanding by rubbing shoulders with other wise men. We cannot do this alone. We are fools if we think we can beat the odds.

Round 2
10, 20, 30 CDD’s/Hello Dollies
10, 20, 30 Squats/Rosalitas

“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”
Proverbs 27:17

On the way back to COT, did some lunge walks, squats, active recovery pulses.

MARY: Finished off with gas pumpers and WWI Sit-ups

COT
Prayers for Cyclops’ 2.0 and mental health

NMM
Lately, I’ve been reading this book called the exemplary husband. The definitions of mercy and grace were given. Though the words are similar in meaning, they are very different.

Mercy means not getting what you deserve. Grace means getting what you don’t deserve.

If God gives us what we don’t deserve freely, and withholds from us what we truly deserve, how should we live our lives? What do we deserve? I can tell you, it’s not very good. Yet God lavishes his grace on us. Think about that as you carry yourself in your concentrica.

Announcements
