THE THANG: After the warmup proceeded toward Dave Gibson blvd and stopped at the first working street light for the shortest round of sevens. (Daylight savings time limited the number of working street lights). Pax lined up on one side of the street for 1 Mike Tyson, then bear crawled across the road for 6 big boy sit-ups. We then bear crawled back to the start for a rinse and repeat count up/count down until we did 6 Tysons and 1 big boy sit-up.
We then ran down the road to the entrance of the elementary school. On the length of the street are three columns of arrows to direct school traffic to the elementary and middle schools. We ran down the turn lane until the arrows ended and then started our journey back. At each arrow in the column the Pax did five burpees (45 total) before returning to the starting point.
Moving on to the center column of arrows, we ran down and headed back with 10 LBCs (120 total) at each. Rinse and repeat down the final column where we did Merkins (80) on the way back to start. Round two consisted of Dips (90), Squats (120), overhead claps (80).

The question of the day is why…why I still am doing this after 7 years when I first thought I’d only give it like 3 months.
And it really is because of all of the guys I’ve met and learned from. When I started the saying was if you want to run fast…run with faster people. And There are so many HIMS in our region that run so much faster than me. Not just actual literal running but accelerating at all phases of life. These are role models for us and a big reason why I keep coming out, and I keep pushing. Everyone reading this has in some way pushed me to be 1% better than I was yesterday. Thank you guys! And see you all in the gloom!

NMM:It’s nice to be motivated to workout, but falling in love with the process of acceleration is even better. That can survive a waning motivation. Or maybe it just is motivation itself?

THE THANG:
In light of Happy Gilmore as well as the USA Men’s and Women’s Hockey teams winning Gold at the Olympics, I put together something fun yet challenging to improve our hockey #3S2T.
An NHL hockey rink is 200ft long x 85ft wide. The large parking lot in front of the church is a little larger – approx 240′ x 100′. Go big and train to compete, right? There were 8 cones set up around our rink, each with exercises and a mode of transportation to the next cone. Start at cone 1, do the exercise, move to the next. Happy Gilmore may not have been the best skater or shooter, but damn he was intense. No rest in between as Happy would want it
Note: DC = double count
Cones:
1. ICING CALL on the opponent! Puck dropped but they won it. SKATE to go on defense! >> Eric Heiden’s to #2. (aka lateral lunge runs).
2. On defense in the corner. Happy falls on the ice and can’t get up! >> 30 dying cockroaches (DC) and 20 hammers (DC) >> Bear crawl to #3 (approx 25 yds)
3. GET UP OFF THE ICE HAPPY!! In front of the net, blocking shots. >> 10 burpees. >> Strides to #4 (think of a run while skipping, knees up high).
4. Happy was a pugilist. In the opposite defensive corner of the rink. Work on your enforcer abilities! >> 20 planks w alternating punches (DC), 20 Cobra Kai’s (DC) (while holding a deep squat, alternate punching) >> GO ON OFFENSE!! >> Strides to #5 (opposite end corner of the parking lot)
5. We are wide open!! Pass me the puck!! Signal your teammates >> 40 SSH (DC) >> You got the puck, move to the net! >> Strides to # 6 (center rink, offensive side)
6. TAKE THE SHOT!! Practice your SLAPSHOT!! >> 30 Apolo Ohno’s w arm swings. >> Bear crawl to #7 (opposite corner, offensive side, approx 30 yds)
7. YOU SCORED!! Now taunt the LOSERS!! >> 30 monkey humpers, 20 dirty dogs (10 each leg). >> Mary Katherine Lunge to #8 (a lunge walk, while you are lunging, you are extending both arms overhead, like a touchdown signal).
8. CELEBRATE!! Raise Lord Stanley’s Cup!!! At center rink. With a cinderblock, 20 curls then 20 overhead presses. Did you know: The Stanley Cup weighs 35 lbs, and a cindy weighs 38 lbs.
Back to #1, and repeat.
Everyone got in 2 full rounds and started on a 3rd. Then we did an indian run back to COT for…
MARY: A little less than 2 minutes worth.
COT:
Announcements: Highlighted Bethel Men’s Shelter next week, Break the Dam run this weekend, litter pickup, and other items in the newsletter. GET INVOLVED!!
P&P: Alot lifted up.
Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

It was a beautiful day over at The Forge, you could feel the electricity in the air! It reminded me of The Electric City, shout out to The University of Scranton. Quick warmup and we were off!
Over to the creepy dim lit side walk behind the overgrown bushes for some wall work. Perfect spot if you want to scare people. We did some overhead claps and derkins to warm the PAX up.
Next stop was the benches for some step ups, dips, and incline merkins.
Now for the final destination we celebrated 2/20 – I heard something about national chipmunk day so we ran with it.
We did a latter workout with Indian runs. Two laps for 2 – 20 reps for 20….Get it….2/20. :grinning:
20 Lunges
20 Merkins
20 Flutters
20 Squats
20 CDDs
We ran two laps between each set.
Back to COT for Mary, prayers and praises.
