Back and Forth

Since I hadn’t posted at The Storm in a while, I figured the best way to return would be with the Q. 16 PAX decided to join YHC for a little back and forth workout around the school. After the disclaimer, pledge and a short warmup here’s what happened….

 

Head over to the front of the school and get started.

25 Dirty Hookups IC

Run a lap around across the parking lot and back stopping at each island for a Burpee.

25 Dips

Lap

25 Derkins

Lap

Rinse and repeat

 

We then headed off on an Indian Run around the school with the last man dropping off for 2 Burpee’s. We made a quick stop at the loading dock for a Triple Nickel.

5 Diamond Merkins, run and jump on the dock for 5 Jump Squats then back down the ramp x5.

 

Continue with the Indian Run back the way we came to make sure that everyone had a chance to get in their Burpee’s. We’re back to where it all started, but this time we did a little Dora.

Partner 1 runs the same loop as before, but no Burpee’s.

100 – Hip Slappers

200 – Big Boys

300 – Flutter kicks

 

Finished things up just in time.

 

NMM / COT

Hebrews 13:8 – “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

Be weary of false doctrine and don’t chase after “religious fads” or let fear and hardships cause doubt in your beliefs. Rather, gain confidence in knowing that Jesus Christ does not change, nor does His gospel.

3rd F – Disruption

We think of disruptions in the sense of obstacles.  Kids being too loud while the game is on, getting an email at work right at quitting time.  Altering our pleasure. Getting in the way.   Disruption is defined as “a disturbance or problem that interrupts an event, activity, or process.”  But sometimes disruption can be a good thing.  

In order to move forward in our lives, we have to be willing to embrace disruption.  We often speak of 1% better each day.  Maybe some disruption can change 1% to 3%.  Stop being satisfied with small gain, aim for something larger.  If you want to run 5 miles faster, then change something.  Take an inventory of your actions and activities, a hard, honest inventory, and make your plan.  So, the question becomes, what in your life needs to be disrupted?  What is in your life that isn’t making you better?  What are you not doing that you know you should be? 

Late in his career, after he had become the all-time major league leader in hits, Pete Rose was asked in an interview why he still ran allout on every ground ball he hit, even those he knew would lead to an out.  He responded with “because if I stop getting better, then I stop being good.”  In Matthew 19 Jesus tells the parable of the rich young ruler: Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life(O)?”(P) 

17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”(Q) 

18 “Which ones?” he inquired. 

Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery,(R) you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, 19 honor your father and mother,’S“>c and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’[d](T) 

20 “All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?” 

21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect,(U) go, sell your possessions and give to the poor,(V) and you will have treasure in heaven.(W) Then come, follow me.” 

22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth. 

A life disrupted.  What may not seem easy, can lead to the greatest reward. 

This week let’s pray for Def Leppard,  Stroganoff, Whopee, Freight, Tool Time, Broke, Sister Act, Big Pappy, Huckleberry.  No reason, let’s just lift these HIMs.

Annihilated by Pizza

It’s hard to believe that it is already the last Saturday in July so it’s time for Annihilation.  This month YHC was fortunate enough to be asked to Q it.  There were several things that came to mind but keeping it moving was apart of all of them.  With that said, we had a strong group of 11 that was eager to get “Annihilated” by Pizza.  Several PAX figured that the bootcamp wasn’t going to test them enough so they put in some EC.  Strong work!!  7am hit and it’s time….

Warm-Up:

SSH X 20 IC (Explained what the plan was during this)

The Thang:

YHC created a 4 mile route and at every 1/4 mile marker the PAX were to perform a set of exercises.

The exercises were…

5 Burpees

10 merkins

15 squats

20 Flutters (each leg)

Then on to the next mark…strong work by all!!

With that complete and around 10 minutes to go we moseyed to the covered shelter for one last thing.

10-1 with Burpees and WW1’s (10 Burpees and WW1’s, 9 Burpees and WW1’s, 8 Burpees and WW1’s….all the way to 1)

Time!!!!

(Overall the PAX logged over 4 miles and completed 910 reps.  Strong work!!!)

 

We all meet back up with the PAX that posted at the Yank.  Gastonia had a strong showing at the Fighting Yank with 22 total (including two that ran 16 miles around Belmont).

Announcements:

Annihilation –  August 29th at 7am – Gashouse

Mt Mitchell Hike – Sept. 27th – Gastone will be posting a Pre-Blast

 

Once again, there was strong work by everyone that posted at Annihilation.  Thanks again for the opportunity to lead a great group of men.  I hope that everyone got their money worth but if you didn’t make sure you come out to the August 29th Annihilation at Gashouse.

Until next time Pizza Man is OOOOOUUUUUUTTTTTT!!!
