Slot Cars (The Grateful Grid)

THE SCENE: 73 very nice.
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER ( I got the order right!)

WARM-O-RAMA:

20 SSH, High Knees + Burpee + toe-tap-shuffle, Cherry Pickers, Plank Destroyers, Donkey Kicks, Crabets, Clap Merkins, Freddy Mercuries, Mtn parkers, Peter Parkers, Squat Walkers, Iron Mikes.

THA-THANG: 

Welcome to the Grid! A 10×10 square parking lot with over a 100 stalls in it.  We did one exercise per stall in a snaking fashion in teams of two.  The 10 rows of exercise were:

  1. Plank Destroyers
  2. Crabets
  3. Freddy Mercuries
  4. Mountain Parkers
  5. Peter Parkers
  6. Squat Walkers
  7. Donkey Kicks
  8. Iron Mikes
  9. Burpees
  10. Clap Merkins

The exercises stayed the same for each column and only changed when you completed a row.  The distance between columns were determined by the painted lines of the parking stalls.  We did one rep per stall.

So we did 10 reps of each exercise, but each rep was separated by about 30 feet.  So we got up and got down at least 100 times in addition to the exercises.

We started off in teams of two (the slot car drivers) and launched successive teams as the previous team reached the next column of stalls.  It spread out nicely but we were all close enough to encourage one another on the passes or the different directions.  The “slots” were the rows of stalls we tried to stay in.

We finished one round then started on the next round. In round two, instead of moseying from stall to stall we burnied down and bear crawled back.  Almost finished the crabets and then called time.

21 pax welcome Tinker from out of town
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Find success in failure- example from 2 Timothy:  Paul and Barnabas took young Mark with them on a missionary trip, but he returned home before the end of the trip for reasons not revealed in Scripture.  Whatever Marks reasons, Paul apparently thought they were unjustified since he refused to take Mark along on a subsequent tips(Acts 15:38).

Did Mark fail at being a missionary? Judging from Paul’s response, it would appear he did.  While the New King James Version says Mark “departed” from Paul, the word probably is closer to deserted – a more negative connotation.  It’s probably reasonable to conclude that Mark did fail at being a missionary.

But did that make him a permanent failure?  Apparently not, for the same apostle Paul who was so disappointed in Mark counted him a valuable coworker in ministry later in his life.  This is a perfect example of how to succeed at failing; fall, get up, and continue on.  The next time you fail, make sure it is a temporary experience, not a permanent label.

Don’t get failing and failure confused.  Failing is nothing more than the back door to success.

Be content but don’t be complacent.
MOLESKIN:
Another great morning . Though only 3 of us, it turned out great. Often times large pax don’t give us an opportunity to connect above and beyond the workout. It would have been great to have 14-20 pax out but really enjoyed hanging with umbro and ribbed.
