Shuttle Movin Hill Hundreds

THE SCENE: Misty Mountain madness

WARM-O-RAMA:
Mosey to CMU pile and while en-route do, side steps (both sides), Kerokee both sides, Crab walk (forwards and backwards), Bear crawl (forwards and backwards).

Shuttle Movin Hill Hundreds:

Each Him grabs a stack of six CMUs and carries them to the start of the hill bowl (starting marked on pavement).  Do 50 reps at the bottom of the hill at each pavement marked station, carry one cmu to the top of the hill and do another 50 reps of the same exercise.  Come down the hill to your CMU stack and move your cmu stack to the next station however you want and then start the next exercise marked on the pavement.  The exercises are:

  1. Merkins (alternate raised with cmu)
  2. Squats
  3. Thrusters
  4. Curls
  5. American Hammers
  6. Push Press
  7. Rows

All exercises are with the cmu

MARY:
Ran out of time for Mary, so used up the time trying to finish.  At the Curl station, due to time we dropped the reps down to 25 (top and bottom).  Then At the American Hammer station we dropped it to 10. Then for Push Press’s and Rows we dropped it to 5, and were still over time.   For next time suggest only have 2 CMU’s per person and only do 25 reps for a total of 50 per shuttle station.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The WORD today came straight from The Word (i.e. the Bible).  I read a few verses from Matthew 6 (verses 19-21, 25, 26, 33, and 34).  To sum up (please read these yourself), the passage is talking about where our focus needs be:  serving God and therefore getting to Heaven.  Don’t worry about what tomorrow will bring.  Serve God today and “all these things will be added to you”.  It’s not saying what we need will just fall into our lap.  We have to put in some effort, but our focus needs to be on serving Him first because that’s what is truly important.  The trials of this life will be worth it in the end.
MOLESKIN:
Thanks to Booster for the opportunity to Q this morning.  I enjoyed it.  My legs are toast after tackling Jucomanjaro.  That hill is no joke!  Fast-n-Easy did it twice including his pre-ruck!  Trolley showed us how men do box jumps by jumping on top of the table-top instead of the seats of the picnic benches like the rest of us boys.

It was good to meet a few new faces this morning.  I will definitely return to Q again (as long as I am not shunned)!

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This week a friend of mine from high school hit rock bottom. He was truly broken in all sense of the word. He is suffering from drug addiction and he is being treated at a facility as we speak. It is when we are broken that we can truly see the overwhelming love of God. We ignore or forget his gift when things are going our way and we “have no need” for God. But when your broken and then made new, you can truly appreciate Gods gift to us. Example of a light stick, breaking and then glowing.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Be patient and a good example for your kids (and any younger than you for that matter).  I know I struggle on a regular basis with keeping my cool when trying to get the kids to listen and do as they are told.  I wanted to simply remind everyone this morning how much children model our behavior.  They will very likely lash out if that is what we do every time we get a little impatient and frustrated.  Take a step back, breath, and collect your thoughts before you respond.
MOLESKIN:
I really appreciate the opportunity to lead the PAX this morning for my first F3 Knoxville Q.  Thanks for sticking with me through the workout.  I look forward to my next Q.
