A phrase stood out to me while reading Galatians chapter 1.  “Bear one another’s burdens”  We need to be ready to help one another during trials and troubles.  As we push each other each day let’s also be ready to pick up someone’s load who needs an extra hand.

The workout was reverse suicides; 4 cones were laid out in the parking lot and each cone had an exercise assigned to it. 1st lap we’d run from one end of the lot to the farthest cone and do that exercise and run back. 2nd lap we’d do the same but add the 2nd cone on the way back. 3rd lap was same as before but added the 3rd cone, and same thing for the 4th lap and 4th cone. We did 3 rounds, which were broken up by Get Ups followed by hill sprints

  • Round 1: 1st cone – 10 American Hammers (4ct), 2nd cone – 15 Flutterkicks (4ct), 3rd cone – 20 BBS, 4th cone – 30 Oblique crunches (15 each side). Ended with 15 x Get Ups followed by a hill sprint
  • Round 2: 1st cone – 10 Squats, 2nd cone – 15 Box Cutters, 3rd cone – 20 Lunges (10 each leg), 4th cone – 20 180* Squat Jumps. Ended with 10 x Get Ups followed by a hill sprint

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Shared about how things have felt incredibly mundane within my own life. All the days seem similar. There’s not much going on aside from working from home, which most of us know is an absolute blast. I shared this with my students not long ago how this reminded me of 1 Kings 19:11-13, which says ” 11 The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”. Seasons of routine and mundane days can actually have a lot of value, because they almost force us to be more willing and able to hear the Lord’s voice when it appears as a gentle whisper rather than a grand display of majesty or glory. So my encouragement to everyone, especially myself, was to be encouraged and view this season as an opportunity to train ourselves to be more aware of God’s presence.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I asked if anyone knew who Karl Wallenda or Nik Wallenda are, which Filter did (I forgot your Applebee’s trivia gift card).  Karl Wallenda was a pretty famous tightrope walker who began his career in the 20s.  The Ringling Brothers added him to their circus, and he helped create some crazy stunts including the pyramid of people walking on a tightrope (which did kill a few members of his team in one accident).  Karl was killed as well while attempting to walk between two hotels in Puerto Rico.

Later on, his great grandson went back to the same spot and accomplished the walk.  Funny enough, earlier this year he walked 1800′ across an open volcano that took him over 31 minutes to cross.  Why would someone go back to the spot that killed their ancestor and attempt the same thing?  Legacy.  He wanted to keep the family legacy alive.  I hope that I am capable of something that will inspire someone else to come behind me and repeat, or even elevate to another level.  And I sincerely hope if I can that its something worthy of being referred to as legacy.

Ran a lap around the park, then ran up to Gresham. Here we got into two teams of three for doras, but instead of each team working on their own with one partner running while the other did exercises, we had one team doing exercises in cadence while the other team ran together. So all the exercises were added amongst all of us, but each team of three did the workout together in cadence. We ran from the front of the school down to the loop at the bottom of the hill and back while the other team did exercises. The exercises were 100 x burpees, 200 x squat jumps and 300x LBCs

MARY:
Ran back to parking lot across from AO and did a ring of fire with merkins, starting with 1 rep and ending with 5

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Been reading The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, which opens by saying “Not finance. Not strategy. Not technology. It’s teamwork that time and again proves to be the ultimate competitive advantage both because it is so powerful and so rare.” From experience we can all say that being on a team that is “rowing in the same direction” is a huge game changer. If I had tried to do this workout on my own I probably would have done 5 burpees and called it quits. My word of encouragement was to consider the teams we’re a part of, at work, home and anywhere else, and how to work together with them and “row in the same direction”
