It was a balmy 93 degrees at the region’s premier JV workout.  5:30 hits, let’s go!  Wait, where’s the Q?  Comin’ in hot, nothing like a grand entrance.  SSH, Toy Soldiers, Grass Pickers all 10X.

Mosey to the turd shack near the soccer fields.  Q calls triple nickel, hip slappers on the wall take a lap round the island, halfway point hand release merkins.  Good work.  Stay at the wall for suspension merkins.  Feet one foot up the wall and get in plank position.  Hold for 10 count and then 10 merkins.  Three rounds OYO.  At the end everyone on the wall for 30 second plank.  These are tough core exercise.

Mosey to path around big soccer field.  Stop mid path for 10 burpees.  Continue to dog hill.  At bottom of hill, five bonnie blairs each leg and up the hill for five jump squats.  Five rounds.

Stay at bottom of hill for iron hulk, one merkin and four shoulder press.  Proceed to 10 and 40.

Head to the soccer goal, sprint length of field to opposite goal.  Short rest and sprint back.

Nice work men!  The heat was taking its toll by this point.  Fellowship mosey for couple mins toward the flag.  Pick up the pace the rest of the way.

Get back for pledge and quick word.  Q tried to have several different actions in today’s workout.  Keeping things off balance and changing.  Related this to be willing to embrace interruption of life.  Used the illustration of Jesus first calling his disciples, Peter and Andrew, casting their nets.  Jesus follow me.  They immediately stopped what they were doing and followed Jesus.  Point being to evaluate life and being willing to do something different if the need is there.

Announcements: JJ5k coming up, Iron Pax Challenge, CSAUP, Mt Mitchell hike.  Also have a date for blood drive – Sept 24 at First Presbyterian Church Belmont.
