“Therefore my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” – 1 Corinthians 15:58

As consistent as we think we are, we’ve got nothing on eternity.  Do the work everyday.

Steadfast

Immovable

Even when you feel otherwise.

We get to choose how we’re going to act, so choose wisely.

It’s my first time Q at the Sandlot for me and I know exactly what I’m going to make them do. From beginning to end this is how it went. First things first we started out with the Pledge just to make sure I don’t forget it later. Next was the Warmup and it was pretty run of the mill so I’m not going to harp on that. We then set off towards Martha’s Place. Once in there we went down to the playground for an escalator strength training session and since the only workouts I’ve ever participated in here were Memorial Day Murphy that’s what exercises we did. I found a good prep program for the Murph several years ago and it goes like this.

• Round 1 – 1/2/3
• Rpund 2 – 2/4/6
• Round 3 – 3/6/9
• Round 4 – 4/8/12
• Round 5 – 5/10/15

Pullups/Merkins/Squats in that order naturally. This escalator is continued as many times as possible until failure. Today we stopped after 5 rounds just for time of course. Then we exited the playground area (or the Dragon’s Lair as my kids used to call it) and stopped at the entrance for 5 rounds of 5 Mike Tyson’s, 10 Heels Up Sissy Squats, 15 Mtn. Climbers followed by a short run around a portion of the parking lot. Once finished we resumed our position back inside the Dragon’s Lair for a 5×5 set of Hanging Knee Raises and Jungle Boy Squats. Back to Pelicans we headed with @10 min. to go where we finished up with some sandbags and partner work. One PAX did 10 curls, 10 rows, and 10 extensions while other PAX ran down to the bottom of Pelicans Parking Lot did 3 Burpees ran back and swapped. After @ 3 rounds my partner was bored with this so he swapped to squats while I ran. This was fine by me as I’ve never been one to miss an opportunity to criticize squat from we all switched to AMRAP squats when our partners were running. After about 2 rounds of that we were finished.
