[the-pulpit] 952 Parking Spots…plus a few I missed

AO: the-pulpit
Q: Voodoo
PAX: Trojan, Smoked Pickle, Leland Robbins (Geiger), Neon, Betty, FNG Neon’s 2.0 – “Link”
FNGs: 1 FNG Neon’s 2.0 – “Link”
COUNT: 7
WARMUP:
Moseyed to front parking lot for some stretching. We also introduced Oak Ridge Hwy to the Monkey Humper.

THE THANG:
Visited each section of the parking lot where the PAX guessed the number of spots. Each section was assigned an exercise, and the reps determined by how far off the PAX guess was from the actual number of spots.

Workout attached.

Found a few parking spots I missed as we made our way around campus.

COT:
Shared a situation with my 2.0s where I didn’t initially want to engage with them while they were playing. I ultimately did, and could immediately tell how that improved their mood. Reminder that they won’t always want to play with their dad (mine are young), and we should take advantage of those opportunities while we can.

Check

THE THANG:
Partnered up for a Dora style workout.

2 rounds, 100 each of:
– rows
– Snow angels
– Split squats
– side crunches
– Swings
– V ups

After round one we took a few minutes for some sled pulls.

Repeat Dora workout, and then finished with more sled pulls.

COT:
Borrowed a recent word shared by Stitch about listening to others. I’m terrible about remembering conversations with others which is ultimately me just not being fully engaged.

James 1:19
Proverbs 18: 2, 6-7, 13

THE THANG:
– Ran over to the Gridiron for a Route 66 on Merkins
– Ran to the top of the Fieldhouse Turf to start our game of Chance.
– The PAX were divided into two teams. One team would work a list of exercises and then stack a cone when the list was complete. The other team would run to a location based on the roll of the :game_die: . When the running team returned, the exercise team would stop on their list and roll the :game_die: to find out where they would run. The first run team would start the exercises while the other team ran. The second run team would return to the exercise list where they left off and repeat the cycle for 4 total rounds of exercises, or until the Q called to recover.
– The Exercise List:
– 10 – Burpees
– 15 – Seal Jacks (4 – Count)
– 20 – LBCs (4 – Count)

MARY: No time for her.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: One team did get a lot of bad rolls of the :game_die:. So unless you’re really needing “5” at the Craps table, you might need to stick to cards.

COT: Reject passivity. In the beginning Adam failed to stand up for Eve which caused the serpent to tempt us in the beginning. We as HIMs should stand up for what we know to be right, do not stand idly by, but follow the path He has laid for us.
