Day: November 23, 2021

7 plus YHC decided to get up and punch Monday right in the mouth.  These HIM not scared of a little cold rain!  After a 30 mins of run/walk/ruck we meet up inside the carwash for some 3rd F.

We talked about the 2 different Kingdoms in the world..God and Satan.  In this secular world it is easy to put your head under the covers and just ignore the spiritual battle that is going on around us.

James 4:  1-4

                      What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that                         battle within you? ² You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot                           get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask                         God. ³ When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that                             you may spend what you get on your pleasures⁴ You adulterous people,^[a] don’t you                            know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone                             who  chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

We have to put on our armor and try to defend our selves and keep your minds and hearts on God and all his gifts.

Philippians 4:8

                        ⁸ Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,                               whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent                             or praiseworthy—think about such things.

We have to Trust what we can  win the battle over Satan!

John 16:33

                                  ³³ I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you                                       will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

2021 FNGs:

Yesterday the scheduled Q informed me that he had a bad case of the plantar fasciitis and needed to rest before the Speed for Need at McAdenville. (Really, he planned on staying up late to watch the Dookies.) No biggie, I told him I would gladly hijack his Q…. I needed an excuse to Q at Folsom.

Showed up, temps right around freezing, time to start.
Warm up.
40 Moroccan night clubs IC while we waited for the site Q to plant the shovel flag.
20 SSH IC. 25 LBC IC. 15 Toy soldiers IC. 10 CDD IC.

The thang:
YHC and the 10 PAX called out 10 arm exercises, 10 ab exercises, and 10 leg exercises all IC.

Went two full rounds (almost) around the circle with each pax picking and calling out an exercise. No running was planned but Sarlacc went rogue and forced us to run once lap around the tennis court. That was the only running that happened, like back in the 2016/2017 Folsom days when we didn’t hardly run at all.

We did cherry pickers, cherry droppers, MNC, shoulder taps, merkins, more merkins, and then more merkins, flutters, LBCs, box cutters, hammers, rosalitas, heels to heavens and other abs. Burpees, squats, Bonnie Blairs, Ohno Apollos, jump squats, lunges, more lunges, more squats, rocky balboas, mike tysons. More CDD, shoulder taps, werkins, more burpees, more merkins, more squats, big boys, and some kind of 6 count conniptions that Ball joint made up.

Stogie rolled out after his second round, along with Volt at the 30 minute mark.

Purple Haze scarred us for life by wearing his Spiderman PJ’s to the workout. Luckily it was cold, so we only saw raisins or just two itty bitty grains of sand. Should the Pax take up a collection to buy the boy some shorts?

With the holiday seasons upon us, take time to remember those with empty seats around the dinner table. Whether though death, overseas duty, missionary work, hospitalization or other events, be thankful for the loved ones you have in your life.

Thanksgiving trifecta coming up. 0530, 0700, 0830.
