Fitness. Fellowship. Faith.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Positive Attitude=Positive outcome
THE SCENE: The good: It wasn’t pouring down rain. The bad: 99.99999% humidity.
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: I’m pretty sure Gibbler didn’t say it was free or that he wasn’t a professional. Both of those facts were immediately apparent, however.
WARM-O-RAMA:
I distinctly remember lots of SSHs while Bluebird took his sweet time walking over from his truck to the AO. I think he stopped to re-tie his shoes and picked up a few pennies off the ground on the way. And then we did some Tennessee Rocking Chairs.
THA-THANG:
We moseyed to the Colosseum (that’s right Gibbler. The Colosseum. Not the Overlook!). Once we got there, we started listening to that song. What’s that song from the Disney movie? Yeah, that one too, but I’m thinking of the other one. No, we listened to that as well, but I’m thinking of . . . forget it. We listened to all of them. Well, except for “Bear Necessities.” Where’s the love for The Jungle Book, Gibbler??
As we re-imagined this as a workout with our 6 year old kids, Gibbler had us do pyramids. I’ll be honest, I don’t remember all of the exercises, or in order. Just know that we blasted our legs and our abs for a solid 25 minutes or so. Occasionally, we’d break for a long bear crawl (incident free today, thank goodness) or a run around the loop. Mumblechatter was at a high level throughout.
Heartbreakingly, it was time to head back to the AO far too quickly.
MARY:
At the AO, it was Capt. Thors up to at least 6/24 before a merciful 15 seconds of stargazers closed us out and the last song of the day gently swirled down our ears (“I’ll Make A Man Out Of You”? Honestly, they’re all running around together in my head right now, so I can’t remember.)

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
MOLESKIN:
Another Tolkien quote: “The old that is strong does not wither.” This one is dedicated to our very own BlueBird, who hits 59 tomorrow. Happy Birthday, BlueBird!

“On a cold January day, a forty-three-year-old man was sworn in as the chief executive of his country. By his side stood his predecessor, a famous general who, fifteen years earlier, had commanded his nation’s armed forces in a war that resulted in the defeat of Germany. The young leader was raised in the Roman Catholic faith. He spent the next five hours watching parades in his honor and stayed up celebrating until three o’clock in the morning”

Reading this we might think the situation is referring to JFK, but in actuality it’s referring to Adolf Hitler. I encourage everyone to not make assumptions on what we think we know but make informed decisions with every possible bit of knowledge at our disposal so that we carry out our purpose of serving others and serving God!

-So, I wanted to do something terrible. Went to the newest path on the NE part of the park. First light pole – 5 dive bombers, bear crawl to the next light pole, jog to next light pole and start the cycle again. We did this until we reached the road.
-Jogged to the Overlook. Did 25’s with merkins and BBS, did a lap around the oval in front of the admin building between sets.
-Back to the AO. Bear crawl 360 down the parking lot, then Super Mario back, then Frankenstein back again.
– Finished off with a super terrible Ring of Fire that was Al Gore/Jump Squats. Kinda like a failure to launch.
MARY:
Did 10 O-Rings in each direction in honor of the failure to launch.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Jesus gave us the parable of the seed and the mustard tree to show us that we are all works in progress with small beginnings and then a final fruitful glorious form. Realize that growth, difficulties, change is all part of God’s plan for us. Ignore words of discouragement if your path is currently not what you’d like it to be, listen to the words of encouragement as you move forward.
MOLESKIN:
We prayed for Katie who recently had bypass surgery.
