Mosey out of SP and over to amphitheater. Hop up on stage for some core work at little earlier than usual. Two rounds of flutter kicks, 25 reps on four count with slight rest in between sets. Back to feet and continue mosey over to parking lot behind Min Kao building where cones and chalk are waiting.
After everyone has recovered to first cone, stop for some more core work. This time, two rounds of heals to heaven, 15 reps on four count with slight rest in between sets. Recover to your feet and mosey to the boulder parking lot near the UT rowing house. Each PAX grabs a boulder to work out with. Routine below, after completing each exercise, put rock on the deck and run across pedestrian bridge and up to the top of the stairs, turn around and return for next exercise.
Rinse and repeat if necessary.
Recover, return boulders and 10 count. Begin mosey back to SP, going back a different way to avoid ambush. A few guys did a jail break the last 80-100 yards or so, QIC did not as I was smoked.

Last night I was doing what any 32 year old, not quite yet married dude would be doing on a Friday night: pulling weeds in my flower bed. Every time I get the flower bed looking good, I vow to just pull the weeds that pop up and not let them get out of control again. Inevitably, I don’t do that and they get overgrown with weeds and ivy. While cleaning this up, it got me thinking about other areas I’ve neglected. Friendships or relationships which I say I’ll work on, things I put off til next weekend, then the next. Time gets away and things get overgrown and out of control. Just challenge myself and the PAX to look for those things they’ve put off, recognize what they are, and take steps to fix them. Always be tending the garden.

This morning, we decided to make sure we got ourselves in a full-body workout! We began our workout by moseying to the ledge of the amphitheater stage:
Mosey over to the Church Street United Methodist back parking lot with the hill. We got in groups of 3 (2 groups had 4). One partner at the top and one parter at the bottom. Partner 3 is the runner that makes everyone rotate.
At the top, Partner 1 chooses 2 rocks that he can do a merkin with while partner 3 chooses a rock he can do squat-thrursts with.
For Time:
Partner 1 does merkins while gripping his rock, after each merkin he does a row with each arm
Partner 2 is at bottom of hill doing 10 squat thrusts with his rock then rotating to 10 mountain climbers
Partner 3 starts at bottom of the hill next to Partner 2. He’ll Bernie Sanders halfway up the hill, then run forward to Partner 1 at top of hill. Then, Partner 1 will run down hill, rinse and repeat
1 Minute Break
Continue exercise except this time Partner 1 will start with 5 Carolina Dry Docks at top of hill, then do 5 merkin rows with his rock. Partner 2 will just do squat thrusts. Partner 3 continues running.
Mosey over to top part of church parking lot near Henley Street Bridge. The PAX decided we wanted to get on the level of my almost one year old so we chose a medium-sized bolder and spelled the alphabet (all UPPERCASE) together, with each letter beginning at our belly button. Some of the PAX decided they wanted to spell their letter in italics, hieroglyphics, san script and Times New Roman…so I let them.
From our spelling bee, we moseyed back to the amphitheater where we did 10 more IC single leg squats then moseyed back to the AO for a little ab’s.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Proximity breed empathy. Distance breeds suspicion.” Across our country and in our day-to-day lives, we use the words “Us” and “Them” a lot. An African-American pastor recently stated that saying in relationship to the racial divide in our country. But, I think this can be applied to many areas of our lives, not just race. Do we have a relationship with “those people” who look different from us, act different, in a different socio-economic class than us? Maybe you’re in a fraternity and look down on others who may not be in your “group.” Or, maybe it’s something like the LGBTQ community, that all you know about them is things you’ve seen at a distance but don’t actually know anything about them or anyone in the group.
My challenge to you is to ask “those people” who you’d otherwise not be in close relationship about their story. People love to talk about themselves. I think you’ll quickly begin to have empathy for them and be reminded of how we’re all created in the image of God. Reach out to someone who’s not like you and maybe you’ll see a side of empathy you didn’t know you had.
MOLESKIN:
The PAX pushed hard today! Mumblechatter was great and felt like everyone got a little bit better after this morning.
