THA-THANG:
Collect keys and mosey out of the A.O. toward the amphitheater. Run under the bridge and through the seldom used part of the park, pausing at the statue for a round of leg blasters. 20 squats, 20 lunges, 10 air squats all done in cadence and no break in between. Shake your legs out and continue Mosey. Cross Cumberland Avenue and run up Estabrook behind the engineering buildings until reaching the stairs of Mordor.
Partner up for a Dora workout. One man performs exercise while the other runs to the stop of the stairs, performs two burpees, and runs back down the stairs to relieve his partner. Flap jack, all exercises cumulative between partners. 150 reps of each exercise:
- Bulgarian split squat (using benches)
- Ranger merkins
- American hammers on 4-count
- Overhead claps on 4-count
Recover and 10 count. Routine took up the entire workout (glad I didn’t say 200 reps of each) so we head back to A.O. for Mary.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
New years always bring about resolutions of people trying to set goals, some of which are too vague or too difficult to be obtainable (nothing wrong with resolutions, or setting high goals). During this time of year, challenge everyone to think of one word they can choose to try to improve different aspects of their life, this stolen from an F3 podcast I listened to. Examples of words I heard or found were Present, Change, Joyous, Purposeful (what I’m leaning towards).
The point is to let that word improve all aspects of your life instead of just choosing one thing you may or may not do. In my case, to be purposeful with what I do. Move and workout with purpose, love those around me with purpose, perform my job with purpose. LIVE with purpose.
MOLESKIN: Continue to pray for Butterfly and his wife Chelsea and she tries to figure out what has been causing her medical issues; pray for Soot, Huey, and Hot Topic as they return back to station and for Soot’s possible deployment; pray for the Corcoran family who lost their son in a car accident Saturday night; pray for Stagehand as he travels to Florida to be present with his family; pray for our community and our brothers as we close out this year and begin 2019.
