Day: December 1, 2019

12 showed Thursday morning to make room for extra stuffing!! With time expiring and no warm up,  Let’s mosey!!

We leave the parking lot and run 9th st to 8th ave. Up to 10th st. Turn left down Mayflower st. Turn left again at 8th st. Turn right and go down riverside dr. Then left on 1st st. Then left on S Main st. Continue down the steps at the end of the street and continue up 8th, turning left on Center st. Then stopping back at the start. This completes a roughly 2 mile loop.

We stopped at every intersection completing various exercises. All exercises are in cadence, with the PAX helping  call out a few of the exercises  we also sprinted up the steep hill on 1st street.

As we circled up, I told the PAX about the story of Gideon. How he waited to see Christ, as God promised him. When Gideon saw the Christ child, he thanked God for his promise and prayed with great joy. There are many things for us to be thankful for.  Just like Gideon, we have many promises that God is sharing with us everyday.
With the holidays here, I asked the guys to keep each other in their prayers and I asked that we all pay attention to those around us. When engaged in conversation with others, pay attention to them.  Make sure that others know that you care about them and make sure you hear them!

 9 showed up for an afternoon workout at Midoriyama. Warmup began with a 1 mile mosey across the road to the paved trail. We stopped several times for some hillbillies and imperial walkers, also doing some down hill sprints and up hill sprints. We continued back to the parking lot by the ball field. We circled up and completed these exercises in cadence.  Continue reading

The Thang:

Been a while since I’ve done block work at Midoriyama, so tonight that would be our main focus.  Each pax grab a block out of my car and take a short fellowship mosey to the long parking lot across from our gathering point.  5 exercises called here.

50 Curls

40 Chest Press

30 Goblet Squat

20 Tricep Ext.

10 Burpee w/ block jump over

Run to far end of parking lot then back.

We completed 5 rounds of this.  Great work by all, this was a good burn.

Next, time for some 11s.  Do this on the short side of same parking lot.  Exercises called are Incline Merkins and Thrusters .  Start with 1 Incline Merkin on block, carry block to otherside for 10 Thrusters.  Carry block back for 2 Incline Merkins, then back across for 9 Thrusters.  Continue until the numbers are reversed and finish with 10 Incline Merkins and 1 Thruster.

Time is almost out, carry block back to flag.  Finish it off with 10 Blockers. Time

Sister Act

So what we do at crossroads to make it easy, if you have Q source, you also have the Q for that day.  Lucky me, with all the rain and lightning it was my turn.  No early birds at 0600 so I stayed in the truck to avoid the majority of the downpour and Broke, SA and Slaw get out around 0630.  Slaw & SA ran, Broke and I rucked and finished up at 0715.  Lots of puddles to splash in.  Then go inside for some Qsource on Accountability (Team).  Thanks to those that showed up for both.   its a bit of a reach with the title based on the picture, but I went for it.
