Batting Practice

THE SCENE: High 30s/Low 40s
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
SSHs, windmills, little baby arm circles forward and backward, some Michael Phelps, hokey-pokeys, and tempo squats

THA-THANG:
Mosey to the flagpole

We only had 5 PAX to start, so we couldn’t easily divide up and play Ghostman Baseball.  Instead, we stayed together and did some Ghostman Baseball batting practice.

We rolled one exercise ball to determine the exercise at each base, and we rolled the second exercise ball to determine the exercises at home.  Since we stayed together, each PAX rolled once at home and we did those exercises together before moving on to second base, third base, and home.  In between each hit (single, double, triple), we ran back to home for more exercises.

On our way to second base one time, we ran into a walker who asked what we were doing.  We said, “exercising, join in.”  And, he did.  Turns out it was Potato Head who was named at the Arsenal and had just moved from Maryville to right across the street from the Equalizer.  Small world.  So, we ended with 6 PAX.

Two of Mouthwash’s rolls landed on burpees for a total of 35.  We did an extra 15 to get to a nice round 50 before ending.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Vice or Virtue? What will you choose?

https://www.inspiredoriginal.org/post/a-herculean-choice-virtue-or-vice

“Of all the real good Things that Heaven grants to Mortals, there is not any one that is to be attain’d without Application and Labour.”

It was not long, however, before Vice interrupted her and told Hercules that she could show him a shorter way to happiness.

In response, Virtue scolded Vice, saying:

“Tis true, you were of a Celestial Origin; but were [you] not cast out of the Society of the Gods? And have you not, ever since, been rejected by all the most worthy Men, even upon Earth? … On the contrary, My Conversation is with the Gods, and with good Men; and there is no good Work produc’d by either, without my Influence. I am respected above all Things, by the Gods themselves, and by all the best of Mortals.”

Virtue finished her speech with the claim that all of her followers “look back with Comfort on their past Actions; and delight themselves in their present Employments. By my means, they are favour’d by the Gods; belov’d by their Friends; and honour’d by their Country: And when the appointed period of their Lives is come, they are not lost in a dishonourable Oblivion; but flourish in the Praises of Mankind, even to the latest Posterity.”
