cot- DO NOT let fear control you. Its the root of anxiety, apprehension, and indisicion. We are called not to carry a spirit of fear by our faith in Jesus Christ. We will be carried even when we dont understand the mechanics.

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
SSH and Windmills while Beaker geared-up and joined us.
Ran to the new parking lot at the top of main for more warm-up:
Imperial Walkers
Hillbilly Walkers
SealJacks
Plank Punches
Travoltas

THE THANG:
Ran to Blackwell’s Tax service parking lot, which became our starting point for each accumulator round.

For each round, an exercise was called and pax ran to first telephone pole to do one rep (4 count), then ran to second pole for 2, 3rd pole for 3, and so on, until the 9th pole was reached and 9 reps were done. Once leading pax completed, he ran back and “swept” everyone else, wherever they were, such that we all ran back together.

We got half way through my weinke of 10 exercises:
1. Mountain Climbers
2. Heels to heaven
3. Seal jacks
4. Box Cutters
5. Speed Skaters

Back to COT for a few exercises of Mary.

A Celebration Trip to the Islands

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Tried and true — SSH, Windmill, Mtn climber, down dog, up dog, etc. mosey to Lowes
THE THANG: Pax mustered near island at far entrance of Lowes. Completed a routine of doing some form of upper body exercise x15 at front Island, moved in j varying forms to next island away from store for some core exercise x15z then returned to original island and planked. Then we moved to the next set of islands.

During each plank session one pax shared a personal note of celebration for the day, ranging from a VQ to a wife’s return home from 2 weeks of travel to a 2.0’s successful landing of a new job.

After doing all sets of islands, we moseyed to the end of the retail strip and pax formed two teams for a relay race of bear crawls and crawl bears.

Mosey home.
MARY: included throughout
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yes
COT: yes as always

I love the spirit and energy at Slow Burn and the pax didn’t disappoint. Lots of mumblechatter and laughs for 45 mins. Not only is this season dark, cold and heavy but the general tone in the world seems the same. Grateful to see the pax take timeout to celebrate and identify an area of light in their life.

We’re called to be the light amid the darkness. Go light the way men!

Thanks Peach Stand and congrats on 3 yrs in the Gloom!

Cold buckets

Leave a comment

WARMUP: We did a few things
THE THANG: One bucket at the bottom of the hill, one at the top.

The PAX enjoyed selecting pre printed slips of various exercises to execute and perform to perfection. The slips did not include anything too miserable for a 18 degree morning so we believe all survived. A nice coffee was provided postgame by <@U06RH8NQ44A>
MARY: SSH’s while Pusher retrieved the distant uphill bucket.

<@U035XDY7ABC> provided encouraging anecdotes from his recent trip to train awesome friends in Cuba :pray: <@U04GQT8NQ4C>
ANNOUNCEMENTS: A few
COT: Praise for those in Cuba, for grandchildren, and for the Lord giving us the privilege of being alive in His creation in the pre dawn 18 degree air.
