In the eleventh hour

Once again I find myself enjoying multiple ironies …. early this morn, after an 8-9 year struggle it would appear my mother in law is ready to finish the race ….. of life. She has battled Alzheimer’s to the point where her body is little better than a shell.. withering away to my estimation is 65 pounds or less. My father in law and I have battled like Matterhorns over hospice and when my M texted/ called early this morn I was unfortunately cynical about his willingness and acceptance of what needs to happen. I was most encouraged though after rearranging thoughts for the day , making my 2.0 understand that life changes like these MUST be accepted and embraced. God has a bigger plan! Upon my arrival, dad embraced me and spoke not only of hospice coming, but also talking openly for the first time about what we need to do next….. and he was not sure what to do next.
So while she is in her eleventh hour … today we celebrate veterans everywhere past present and even the future as this day was chosen many years ago to firstly commemorate the end of the Great War in the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
I began today’s workout with 11 SSH, 11 imp walkers and 11 merkins all in cadence to honor this Veterans Day finalizing it with a rare pledge said after a warm up as I preferred to do it in this fashion today!
The music choice is from the concert I recently took the fam to ,,,,,Crowder …. their latest release American Prodigal, I had tweeted that we were going to church and we did as David Crowder told the crowd much of the show. Incidentally they put on an amazing show, Mercy Me was great and we also enjoyed Micah Tyler who we were not familiar with.
So the workout was simple in form
Using two bricks ( I used 5 pound weights )
MNC/ curls/ tricep ext/ press
The intermission was done without weight/ bricks …. lbc/ flutters and American hammers
The timing was 10 first round then increase to 20, 30, decrease to 20 and 10 ….. and we completed this cycle twice and even had time for 5 burpees, 10 corkscrews each side ( thanks to Broke … never done these and I’m stealing them!!) obliques 10(?) each side and 10 big boys.
Plenty of running races coming p200 there’s almost enough for 3 teams!!
Remember to post at Starkville and San Quentin to keep these going
Shirts up for sale
Remember to wAtch those calories and keep track of efforts / success
Prayers for Oompa and Clavins M s
Rockabilly
Veterans past present and future
High school friend of Hipaa who was murdered

Lastly I wish to especially thank Oompa Loompa for offering to cover for me if I needed help and even more so for joining us in the workout …. I know that his shoulder troubles him much, but it was great to see him join us … great work!
