Sometimes you lose track of time. Sometimes you don’t even know what day of the week it is. It happens. This story begins after the workout on Monday at The Sandlot, not Martha’s House. Told the PAX that I had Q that Weds at The Labyrinth (also not Martha’s House). Watts Up mentioned not having the Uno weinke in a while so YHC immediately knew what we’d be doing on Weds at The Labyrinth (not Neverland).

YHC showed up this AM to find a lonely GSM vehicle in the parking lot so YHC knew that EZ Rider was there waiting. As YHC was walking from his vehicle, a PAX rolls up on his yellow motorcycle. In dramatic fashion, he removes his helmet and Roscoe reveals his identify. Two more vehicles tear into the parking lot with only a coupe of minutes to spare before 530. After cutting the pleasantries short, we got to work…

🔥Convergence @ Folsom

Once in a lifetime are you given a opportunity to showcase your AO as the site Q for a convergence.  Sargento being the mighty leader that he is gave me about 8 days’ notice that “Hey Convergence is at Folsom, can you get some guys to Q it?” yeah man I got this…hold my Beer…actually never mind ill just carry it!

As I Roll into Folsom around 6 to get stuff set up and do a little EC , I find cones blocking the bottom parking lot and a bunch of no fishing signs. good thing we aren’t here to Fish…so threw the cones in the grass and carried on. Little did I know Gaston County Park & Rec was hosting a kid’s fishing tournament at 8am.🤦‍♂️

7Am Time to get to work! Sargento welcomes everyone, list the core principle, and disclaimer. (we had 6 FNGs!) Sargento hands me the controls…quick pledge and I hand it off to 1st of the Folsom Hammers GearWrench. This Dude has more post them Alen Tate does and he has only been with us for 8 months.. Rookie of the Year in the bag..IMO.

GearWrench warm up:
SSH-20
Gravel Pickers- 20
Burpees-10
Bruce Lee Abs: 20 of each : Hammers, Leg rasies, Lbc, Penguins, Crunchy Frogs, Flutters
then 30 of each…all the while we are dodgeing cars trying to park for the fishing tournament…we even had two ladys from Park &Rec come see what “a bunch of kids” were doing in the middle of the parking lot…we are workin thats what! Lets get out of here..hand off to Wichita and he takes us to the tennis courts…less traffic there.

Wichita 1st Hammer station:
5 burpees in a minute..if you get done before the minute is up plank until minute is up then rinse and repeat for 4 minutes. well this didn’t go as planned…there was a verbal exchange between Freight and Wichita and it was decided to make it 10 burpees a minute after the first round. After 4 mins of that nonsense, the exercise switched to 20 merkins a min for 4 minutes, then 20 Mike Tysons a minute for 4 minutes. come to think of it that whole thing was nonsense….well just wait to see what Sister Act has for us.

Sister Ast 2nd Hammer station:
Have yall ever heard of the HighTower? 9 reps 5 rounds of burpees:
9 regular burpees
9 Eight count Body Builders(plank jack Burpee)
9 Krackin Burpees (3 hand release merkins Burpee)
9 Triple Jump Squat Burpees (3 jump squats after burpee)
9 Bodybuilder/Krackin/Triple Jump Squat Burpee
Thank you SA that was Dumb

Street with no name

On this hot and humid morning, I felt it best to keep us moving so we could feel the wind blowing through our hair.
Well 20 years ago maybe so lets just say that we will keep it moving so the sweat doesn’t hang around all day. I decided we mosey around and explore some different places this morning and one that has become possibly a staple in the world of Old School.

Warm up: the normal stuff.

Mosey to behind Sammy’s for some 11’s Merkins and Seal Jacks!

To the Bank to Deposit some Sweat Equity. I chose to use the horse shoe shaped lot and we did shoulder taps and mountain climbers.
25 shoulder taps mosey to the exit and 25 mountain climbers. Decrease by 5 down to completion.

I failed to mention that we did a ton of squats at many, many many, stop signs.

While moseying around Dallas we went down a street that I have seen other Pax go back in the day. But where did it lead us to.
Some say that a mythical creature who can run 4 minute miles and box jump over a car resided once in this area. Others say he was built by a scientist and one day he got loose and is hiding in plain site. Oddly enough this street had no street sign just a pole in the ground as if it was waiting to be named. I heard a name mentioned in past couple of weeks of this place and I guess some how with the sweat coming down our face and blurring our vision we accidentally stumbled across…

KOTTERS KORNER!
Triple Nickel Hand Release Merkins. All the way to the stop sign and back!

Back to the flag for some ssh,lbc, buttkickers, then we karoked, and Nured until Time!

Prayer Request:
Several

Announcements: WE going tubing fellas 7/30 check slack for the details.

Humble Lessons at the Sword

5 pax came  out for a run or ruck this Monday.

Word:

I appeal to you therefore, brothers,[a] by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.[b] Do not be conformed to this world,[c] but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

“As its (the gospel’s) truth affects the way we think, it begins to change the way we feel; that, in turn affects what we want, and the way we behave. Thus, the gospel fuels the way we live.”

From: Lessons from the Upper Room by Sinclair Ferguson
