THA-THANG:
In honor of Bartman, who has to work mornings, I give you the Drapen Kracken.
Giant oval with exercises listed at the 8 cones. Do the exercise and qty and then run a lap around the circle (extended to Stonehenge) then moving on to next exercise. The exercises are;

  • 30 Merkins
  • 30 dry docks
  • 10 burpees
  • 10 curls,10 tris, 10 squat and press w/CMU
  • 3 round-the clock Merkins
  • 20 squat jumps
  • 15 Superman’s and 15 cobra Kais  Merkins
  • Bear crawl to center and back

about 3/4 of the way done we stopped for some sprints to break up the breathing pattern and then went back to work. Eventually stopping for everyone to do 3 round the clock Merkins and 10 burpees. Add on a few more sprints then mosey back to the AO by way of the Snake to use our tax dollar investment…

MARY:
Snitch led us in some flutters and we added on some side crunches and LBCs.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The grass is not always greener on the other side. The phrase actually originated over 2000 years ago as a poetic proverb by Publius Ovidius Naso, better known as Ovid, regarding agriculture and the harvest always looking more fruitful in another man’s field. With social media today. It’s very easy to look into other lives and think they have everything together. That their lives are perfect and ours is crap. Nothing could be further from the truth. I talked about how I literally thought my neighbors grass was greener and prettier than my lawn. But it wasn’t until I walked over to talk to him that I could see all the imperfections and bare spots in his yard once standing in it. Looking back at my yard from his, I noticed mine didn’t look that bad from his angle. In fact it looks better than his yard. So, the point of all this is that we should not look at others and try and base our lives on them. But we should look to God for guidance and try to better ourselves every day.
MOLESKIN:
It was great being back at the equalizer today. I missed the crew there very much. Last night I had a pretty good wreck on my mountain bike and it was pretty tough for me to get going this morning. Once getting in the groove and seeing everyone working hard my injuries loosened up and didn’t bother me as bad.
