A word on the Word

Exodus 26:30 “You shall set up the tabernacle according to its plan, which you were shown on the mountain.”

1 Corinthians 6:19 “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?”

Psalm 127:1 “Unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain who build.”

Takeaway: To paraphrase, unless the Lord build the MAN, since our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, we labor in vain.

A Spooky Ex-SPEAR-ience

 

Pledge: done

Disclaimer: We’re all idiots for showing up in the drizzle

Warm Up: Frankenstein Walks x20 (Holding bricks forward like Frankenstein), Bat Wings WITH BRICKS

Dead Hang to 300 Squats: Mosey to playground, pair up, 1 PAX dead hangs to failure while the other performs squats, switch back and forth until 300 squats completed.

Serpentine Fence Traverse: All PAX form a line at the start of the split rail fence. One after the other switch between going over then under from post to post.

Wax On, Wax Off 13s: What does Halloween have to do with Karate Kid? Mosey to bank parking lot. Take two bricks in plank or bear crawl position, complete 12 Wax On, Wax Off (as if waxing the asphalt) exercises, run to end of parking lot with bricks and complete 1 Lurker Lateral Lunge holding bricks head high (or higher for greater challenge), run back and do 11 Wax On, Wax Off then 2 Lurker Lateral Lunges and so forth OYO
(This movement was harder and took longer than planned…perhaps 7s would have been better, but 13 sounded cool for in keeping with the Halloween theme)

Boo-urpees/Spearthrow: Mosey down Riverwood to Martha Rivers Way. 5 Boo-urpees, spear throw (signs dressed up as ghosts) with 5 boo-urpee penalty. (Ran overtime due to wax on/off and had to cut this short. Would have like to do way more boo-urpees…)

Announcements: Christmastown 5k, Start training for BRR Ruck or Run

Scripture: Luke 13:30 And behold, they are last that shall be first; and they are first that shall be last.

Special thanks to Clavin for lending his coupons (Is it COO-pons or Q-pons?)

Coupon Cusak Trot: Start with 10 Lion Kings with a coupon then take it overhead and jog to the 2nd lightpole along the street and back x3 OYO (Some jogged, others speed walked, the rest walked it…either way we were all doing work)

Tire Push: Mosey across the street to the bank. At this point the rain was really coming down. Take turns tire pushing while the others did breakdance merkins. You’d think the slippery asphalt would make the tire slide better…

Mosey: Snoballs to Clavin’s Hill (that’s what I’m gonna call it from now on) Watch out for those walkers! At least they wore headlamps. (0.4 mi)

Something like 11s: Started with 11 modified Lt. Dans (with a Jiminiy Cricket) instead of a plain ole merken. Bear crawl up the hill, 10 modified Lt. Dans. Bear crawl down the hill (didn’t realize how hard that was going to be…) And so on. This killed all of us.
