Rumors started the night before that a Kotter and FNG might be making an appearance at the Trucks and Beards AO on Tuesday morning. YHC rolled in early and to my surprise the Kotter was already there…..the one they call “Roadie” had returned to the gloom! It turns out he was the one bringing the FNG who also showed and made it an even 10 for the workout. After a full disclaimer, the pledge and a short warmup we all headed to the back of YHC’s truck to grab bricks that we would carry with us the entire workout. It went like this:

 

Mosey to the “newer” parking lot by the lake for some ALARM’s. 100 reps of each exercise followed by a lap around the parking lot. All done with bricks.

Arms – Shoulder press

Legs – Squats

Abs – American Hammers

R exercise – Randy’s

M exercise – Merkins

 

That wasn’t too bad, let’s mosey to the front of the park for some partner work. Dora 1-2-3 with one partner doing the work while the other runs a lap. Again, all work with bricks.

100 – Shoulder taps

200 – Dying cockroaches

300 – Moroccan Nightclubs (these sucked)

 

Still some time left, so let’s head to the tennis courts for some Merkincides.

5 Burpee’s on the 1st court, then run to the 2nd court for 5 Merkins

Back to the start for 5 Burpee’s each time and increase the Merkins by 5 at each court all the way to the fence.

 

Time is up so back to the flag.

I had a verse that I had planned to share with the PAX, but changed it up after thinking about what we were doing. The brick’s we used for the workout symbolize the burdens we often carry around with us in life. Some of them are small and seem minor, but the longer we carry them the harder they become to bear. We are called to serve others and in doing so help carry their burdens, but Christ also tells us this in Matthew 11:28-30 – “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
