Upon waking I stuck my head out the door and what a welcome:\u00a0 it’s bloody tropical out here!\u00a0 How glorious, I could hardly wait to go stomp around the puddles in the parking lot.\u00a0 I chose my church for W.I.B., AGAIN, because I thought some of them might man up.\u00a0 No such luck this time but that means I can play whatever music I want and not get reported.\u00a0 I’d already decided in hopes of an FNG I’d do some station work.\u00a0 Also in the back of my mind was the Merkin challenge, a challenge I have gleefully dismissed as my arms are still giving me fits.\u00a0 Landed at the spot, starting setting up the carnival, and enjoying every second of my newfound Bermuda.\u00a0 In comes Dr. Toot, Draftee, Greenspan and Rollback.\u00a0 Only worked out with one of these guys so what a good chance to get to know new folks!<\/p>\n
Warm-Up – my usual, let’s get SSH, Arm Circles, Chainbreakers, Swimmers, W.W.A.C., Quickmills, Lunge with a Twist.<\/p>\n
The Thang:\u00a0 pretty easy, I went through the 8 station real quick:<\/p>\n
Jump Rope, Merkins, Squats, Mountain Climbers, Box Drill, Butterfly Drill, Ladder Drill, Band Work = one side rule was you could drop any time and do Merkins until your heart delights.\u00a0 I’m a man who believes in challenges….for others, not me.<\/p>\n
Round 1 was for a minute at each station.\u00a0 Round 2 was a minute 20.\u00a0 Minor screw-up by the Q for making it 20:00 instead of 1:20 on first station.\u00a0 Have a complaint?\u00a0 No one will hear it, the Q rules.\u00a0 That’s all.\u00a0 Everyone did great, Dr. Toot ripped it up with Merkins, Greenspan rediscovered his love of jumping rope, Draftee was shot out of damn cannon on the cone drills, and Rollback gets t-claps on the heels of recent accomplishments AND choosing my Q.\u00a0 During parts of the workout the rain came down harder which I was all about.\u00a0 It was truly glorious and fun.\u00a0 Only hiccup was my 20 year old bluetooth speaker.\u00a0 Out of my cold, dead hand…<\/p>\n
Mary time – a little bit of….WIMP came out when they laid down in the puddles?\u00a0 For shame.\u00a0 I should have brought out the plastic like we used to in Gastonia and made a big boy slip and slide.\u00a0 And wait, another fail:\u00a0 all of these losers went high, like WAY high on their counts for their chosen ab exercise.\u00a0 Learn to share boys, learn to share.\u00a0 Pretty bold moves.<\/p>\n
TIME.<\/p>\n
Name-o-Rama<\/p>\n
Announcements – Greenspan has I.S. this Saturday.\u00a0 Hills are in the future.<\/p>\n
Prayers – I felt compelled to lead us out, giving thanks for chances like this morning to just take joy in the little occurrences that happen, something as simple as last week it was 16\u00b0 and today 60\u00b0.\u00a0 Enjoyment can be found everywhere.<\/p>\n
MOLESKIN – like a day at the carnival.\u00a0 Thanks Toot for letting me lead, and I’ll keep trying the folks at my church.\u00a0 You never know when that 3rd, 4th or even 50th EH will get the job done.\u00a0 AYE!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
