We are encouraged each year to choose our “one word” – the word that will guide our intentions, hopes, and maybe changes. This year I chose “stand.” There are times I will need to stand up for those without a voice. To stand firm in my beliefs and convictions. To stand out from my peers. But also, to stand down when the battle is not mine to fight. To me, stand represents who I will be when the pressure increases.

I encourage you to find your word – a word that will challenge you to do what you know needs to be done. Let it motivate you to stay the course when life gets hard. It’s a simple exercise that may pay huge dividends.

Aye!

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Slow mosey around the Harris Teeter parking lot, circle up where Golden Corral flag used to be planted for the following (SWIMS):
– 25 SSH
– 10 winmills
– 15 imperial walkwers
– 15 MNC
– 10 strawberry pickers

Then mosey to the parking spots in front of Cholandu Indian restaurant….
THE THANG:
Part 1: 11s
Using the driveway between Cholandu and Dollar General as each end, do 11s with the following exercises
– Squats
– Lunges (2 ct, every other leg)
That got a mile or so in and worked the legs.
Original intent was to use the gravel hill off of Stockbridge drive that leads up to the large cell tower, but the pole light there was out. Next time…..

Part 2: 11 of 11
Mosey around back behind Red Bowl to the infamous dumpster.
11 exercise stations set up, each were 5 parking spaces apart. Do the exercise, bear crawl to the next station. Repeat until done. 11 reps of each exercise. Exercises were:
1. Merkins
2. LBC
3. SSH 4ct as usual
4. LSS
5. CDD
6. Flutter 2ct / every other leg
7. IW 4 ct as usual
8. LSS
9. Mtn Climbers 2 ct / every other leg
10. LBC
11. Lunges 2ct / every other leg
A LOT of bear crawling. Shoulders were smoked.
Gave us about 5 minutes left. We went to the Harris Teeter wall on the side of the building. Everyone in people’s chair. Hold it while first person runs across the parking area, does 2 burpees, then runs back. Next person in line follows until everyone is done. That gave us 1 minute to mosey back to arrive at COT right at 6. BOOM!!
MARY: None
ANNOUNCEMENTS: A LOT going on! Read the newsletter, get involved, and also be informed about what has been going on around The Fort.
COT: Alot lifted up. There are alot of injured PAX, and others not posting because they have burdens. Reach out to those guys. If they cannot work out, at least they can walk and enjoy the 2nd F to help with their 3rd F.

Thank you for the opportunity to lead.
