It was a fine Day!!

14 showed for a rainy/wet beat down. Trying to show some planning skills, I dug up some exercises that I haven’t heard done yet. With that I like to start with the pledge and we’re off.

Warmup.

5 Burpees OYO

Mosey to the fartshack for some wall work.

10 x Hipslappers  IC

Now the rain began and we partnered up and did a Triple Check. Teams of 3 and 1 team of 2.

partner 1 wall sits

partner 2 planks

partner 3 sprints 100 yrds and back. or in our case to the truck in the parking lot. rinse and repeat x 3

Slow mosey to the parking lot for a route 66.

first one was a Bulgarian Ball Buster. Its a reverse lunge to a knee up.

second was the Merkin. Freight called out bear crawl between lines so some did.

Mosey to the parking lot in between the ball field and the horse shoe pits for 15 mins of fun. Complete reps of exercises and then run a lap.

10 Nolan Ryans each hand. A few guys had good reach on this one.

5 Crunchy Frogs

After that we did another route 66

Van Goghda  Its a slow windmill on your 6. Feels like a WW1 Freight called out duck walk so we did.

I had more on the wet winke but since time was running low and we had a FNG to name, we moseyed back to the start and did 10 Dips and 5 Burp & Merks to finish up. Pizzaman took us out on 22 for the vets.

Announcements, Prayer request and prayer and we named the FNG. Welcome Wes Huffstetler now known as Match Stick

This week has been crazy for me. My Boss had a Heart attack and is heading for triple bypass surgery. When I arrived at the workout I found out that a high school friend had passed away from a massive heart attack. Thank you guys for showing and keep each other in your prayers.

SNOW? what snow? Lets go Duke.

With the Chance of snow upon us, 9 PAX threw back the covers of the fart sack and showed this morning. Sargento and Quiche had just finished some extra credit, Quiche couldn’t stay since he is wanting to be his best for the P200.  Wheezy was standing there stretching as I pulled up, which was rare as usually he is coming in hot. With the chanting of “Lets go Duke” still ringing, Top Hat pops out with his Duke blue hoodie on and was grinning ear to ear talking about the game last night. Maybe they can pull it out today. With plenty of mumble chatter amongst everyone and good attitudes a plenty we started.

Pledge first then the Warm up

Don Q x 10

Mosey to Myrtle St. Run up Myrtle stopping at each light pole for a squat. since I did not know how many poles where there I didn’t know how many we would do. Turns out there is 10. so we did 55 squats. Almost a route 66.

After the workout 3 of us met up with Quiche for some 2nd F. Thank you again for showing up on a cold morning. I enjoyed spending some time today getting to know Juicebox .

I arrived an hour early so I fart sacked it in the truck while listening to the Duke Blue Devils put away another opponent. As I sat I noticed that it might be only me and Oompa for this one.

Praise report for Freights M getting a new job.

As we kneelt to pray I reminded the men of the story Jesus told of The Prodigal Son. As the son returned home his father RAN to him and hugged him and kissed him without question. With some things going on in my life, Valentines Day reminds me that no matter what has happened, the LORD loves us all without question. Is there someone in your life that needs your love more than a lecture. If so don’t put it off. Tell them you love them and the LORD will take care of the rest.

Thank you men for showing up and pushing me to be my best.
