THE THANG:
Carry a block to the first speed bump. Do 5 exercises, rifle carry to the next speed bump, run to the end of the road and back, then do exercises again. Repeat until the end. First bump is 10 reps each. Each successive speed bump the rep count goes up by 10.

Form 2 teams. Shuttle run to steal a tennis ball from the other team’s box and drop it in your team’s box. Repeat until Snaggletooth had enough and just blew the whole thing up.

Return the blocks. RTF.

MARY:
Plank. Each man tries to guess if the next card in a deck will be red or black. If he is right, we stay in high plank. If he is wrong, we switch to low plank (or one arm up, etc.) until a man guesses correctly – then back to high plank.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
CONVERGENCE Jan 20th.
Upcoming Shamrock 2nd F opportunities.

COT:
Change is inevitable. Growth is intentional. Any growth that you want to experience this year – in your fitness, fellowship, faith, leadership, etc. – will NOT happen by accident. Let’s be intentional. The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan. James Clear says, goals don’t determine success. Systems determine success. Goals are good for planning your progress and systems are good for actually making progress.
Here’s a template for building a system.
1. Have a super clear description of what success will look like.
2. Develop your plan: What and when, and how. Pro tip: make changes small, obvious, and automatic.
3. Eliminate distractions (that includes good things that keep you from great things).
4. Obsess about the process, not about the results. Committing to the process is what makes the difference.

“The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.”
Proverbs 21:5

We had a nice walk through Gulf Park & Belmont West with a brief tour of the back of the Cedar Bluff Schools. We were running about two minutes behind so we began the circle of trust on the way back.

We discussed the power of your attitude as a filter for the things that happen to you. Often times (within reason) a positive outlook impacts how you grow or learn from events. How will that reaction define you?

Mental health is a big deal! We are all working on our physical bodies and need to keep the mind healthy as well. I had a good friend die by suicide last year. If you are having issues or problems get help! Grab a friend or counselor and get help! Also with new years comes resolutions don’t try to change everything keep reiterating your self a small change over. Long time will do much more than a large unsustainable change.
