[the-pulpit] CMU Surprise

THE THANG:
I came bearing gifts…CMUs

Partner up. One partner farmer carries CMU down US parking lot. Other partner does 3 BBS and runs to catch partner, then switch.

Stationed at LS cafeteria. Dora-style workout. One partner completes exercise while other moves to bus and back. One twist – both partner’s CMU must be used at all times.

Exercises were:
-rows
-walls sits
-OH press
-toe merkins
-curls

Completed two rounds then slowesy to mid point of parking lot where we resumed our first exercise making our way up behind the US to the resting place for the CMUs under the softball ramp.

Stopped at the turf for 10 no handed getups. Moseyed back to the flag for a few merkins

COT:
Discussed some takeaways from the book “Into the Wild.”
-life with less can be more fulfilling
-experienced are best when shared
-document your own life with pictures and/or journals
-Subject of the book blindly trusted so many strangers for rides, shelter, employment, etc and received a lot of help. What would happen if we all gave people we don’t know the benefit of the doubt? Gave them compassion, love, and respect as the default?

Worth a read, there is also a movie.

WARMUP: SSHs, Abe Vigodas, Tempo Merkins and Imperial SQUAT Walkers

THE THANG: Mosey to the gate below the Overlook for a history lesson: Many years ago, a young man had a dream of creating a brutally efficient circuit of running and reps. He called it the Barkley. That man was Zygote. He later learned that there was a slightly less famous race of the same name just to the north. Not as fun. Total coincidence.

Partner up and lap the Asylum hill, checking in at 4 stations for different reps at each lap.

3 laps, 4 stations:

1. Squats; Smurf Jacks; Iron Mikes;
2. LBCs; :flag-us: :hammer:; Hello Dollies;
3. Merkins; :diamonds: Merkins; CDD;
4. Burpees; Man Makers; Get Ups

Sweep and Mosey to the AO with one last sprint up Baby Everest and 5 burpees at the top

MARY: She was missed.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Somebody sign up with P3 for Escape From Haw!

COT: God has given us all gifts and tools to make an impact, but none of us have all the gifts and tools. God has put others in our path to cover our blind spots. Look to those closest to you for help.
