[running] OTB run on the knoxville half course

AO: running
Q: Mermaid
PAX: Toretto, Anchorman, Erector, Honeydew, Mermaid
FNGs: None
COUNT: 5
We met this morning to show Toretto more of the Knoxville Half course to help him get some knowledge for the April half (his first). Erector did mile repeats around us, and with the hills that we tackled today, our pace was a little slower than normal. That could also be a week of tough workouts and not feeling fresh.

We welcome anyone and any pace! If you or anyone you know wants to jump in on the OTB running group, we run most Saturday’s generally for one hour. Spread the word and help some guys get into running or help others connect to a group!

THE THANG:
Divide into two teams for Battleship. 5 sets of cones set out facing each other. Run and grab a tennis ball, sprint to your far side, sprint to a battle station and perform the exercise on the cardboard, fire your tennis ball at the other team’s ships. Repeat until one team sinks all of the other team’s ship.

Team 1 wins Round 1. Team 2 wins Round 2.

Teams hold plank while 1 man sprints to collect a tennis ball and comes back. First team to 17 balls is our winner.

MARY:
“Turn it Up” by Oh the Larceny. Burpee each time the song says “Turn it Up” – SSH the rest of the time. Crawlspace and Toretto finished and hereby join Erector in the PAX Hall of Fame as men who have completed this challenge!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Mermaid’s home tonight, Rainbow Falls hike tomorrow, Mountain Biking AO launches Monday, Escape From Haw Ridge April 5th – details for all these are on Slack.

COT:
Tagged on to Crawlspace’s COT from Wednesday – specifically about having discipline over your thoughts.

Take every thought captive…and make it obedient to Christ… 2 Corinthians 10:5

Philippians 4:8
“…whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

Let’s work to get really good at realizing when our thoughts are negative and we are daydreaming about guilt, mistakes, slights (real or imagined), and other unhelpful darkness where (whiny voice) “I’m the victim…” Let’s get good at shifting out of that mindset and into virtuous thinking. One of the best ways to shift from negative thinking to positive thinking is by expressing gratitude.
