THE SCENE: Warm 83
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: Covid-19 as well as welcome
WARM-O-RAMA: SSH, Windmills, Cherry Pickers, Phelps, Big Arm Circles

The Tree Biscuit

As a group, Run to an un-slapped tree, slap it, everyone call out the running burpee total,  do A single burpee, repeat.

Suggestions/Notes/Guidelines:

  • A tree only gets tagged once
  • Scaling/Modification: Skip a burpee if you need to but stay with the pack always.
  • Taggers: Be sure to take turns tagging/slapping a tree
  • In Cadence: The group also calls out the running total, not just the tagger. The tagger calls it out first though. the louder the better.
  • What’s a Tree: Don’t waste time & energy on shrubs – skip the shrubs – tag the trees
  • No Poison Ivy: Pass trees that are surrounded by shrubs, ivy, waist high grass.
  • Terrain:  Be careful when running not to twist and ankle – trees have lots of bumpy roots around them.  And don’t hit your face on a rock or root when doing a burpee in the dirt.
  • Milestones: At 50, 100, 150, 200 make sure the group catches up and circles around the tree, wait a few seconds. Do the burpee.  Celebrating these milestones adds to the encouragement factor.

It’s not about the numbers but in the spirit of healthy competition here they are:

Previous Tree biscuits from other AO’s

In the interest of more burpees, “the Mary” is skipped.

Circle of Men

1 Corinthians 9:24 Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! 25 All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. 26 So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. 27 I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We’ve seen yet again another black man shot and protests rage, leading to a counter-protester being shot and killed. When I see these things happen my gut reaction is anger, and to want to drag people into the street and demand justice and accountability. Last week I read through James, which has a lot of things to say, apologetically, about those that are rich or in power and abuse their power. But what it says to believers isn’t to rage against them, but to be humble, mourn, and be unbiased and pray for those that need it. It reminded me of Matthew 9 that says when Jesus saw the masses He had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So my encouragement to the guys, especially myself, this morning was to consider compassion when reacting to these situations we seem to constantly be seeing in the news
