Brickyard – 150 Club

THE SCENE: Balmy and 62 with a hint of clouds near the approaching sunrise.
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

Cherry Pickers

Imperial Walkers x 15

21s – Everyone struggled to understand these and we ended up doing a penalty of 10 merkins

Little baby arm circles x 15 each way

21s – We messed up the count again and did another 10 merkin penalty

Windmills x 15

THA-THANG:
Moseyed over near the splashpad/playround with our trusty CMUs.  Paired up in groups of 2.

Alternated running and exercises with partner doing the following to join the 150 Club:

  • 150 Curls
  • 150 OH Press
  • 150 Tricep extensions
  • 150 Bent Rows
  • 150 Squats

The guys blew thru these and while the last group was finishing up on the 150s, there were some lunges, windshield wipers, and even a few burpees thrown in.

We then moseyed over to the planters at the school entrance, dropping our CMUs off at the rally point along the way.

Did 40 box jumps/step ups followed by 20 merkins.

Moved back to the rally point and attempted 21s again, following a demo from yours truly.  We still were all out of sync and did another 10 merkin penalty.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

When we have an interaction or conversation with others, would we be embarrassed if we immediately turned around and talked to Jesus?  In reality, he’s always there and we should be a reflection of him in our speech and actions.

Also, prayers for the family of the young man who was killed in auto accident on Clinton Highway yesterday.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Being authentic. Too many times we put on a persona of what we think people want to see. We act differently around our family, friends, church and co-workers to meet expectations. Social media has elevated this to an unhealthy level where we only post the most perfect moments in our lives and compare ourselves in all of our imperfections to other’s most perfect moments. We need to strive to be authentic in all aspects of our lives and stop comparing ourselves to these micro snapshots from others.

Looking for Jenny

THE SCENE: Dry and balmy 50.  Perfect.
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

SSH, Goofballs, and Windmills
THA-THANG:
Mosey to the back parking lot.  Run to cones doing the following:

  • 8 – burpees
  • 6 – lunges
  • 7 – imperial squat walkers
  • 5 – merkins
  • 30 – plank jacks
  • 9 squats, plank up at start until all accounted for.
  • Repeat

Mosey back to front of school/planters.

  • Rockette dips in sets of 8,6,7,5,3,0,9 with 4 jump squats between each set.  This seemed to be a bit confusing as some thought we were doing box jumps and weren’t sure about the rockette dip numbers per set.  More on this later.

Mosey over to the playground splash pad and did this routine 3x.

  • 8 – Descending carolina dry docks
  • 6 – Big boy situps
  • 7 – mountain climbers
  • 5 – merkins
  • 3 – burpees
  • 10 – SSH
  • 9 – squats

Mosey across Emory Rd up to car wash and did 10 merkins.

Mosey back to school planters.  Since we had confusion (VQ issue) before and some wanted to do box jumps, we did 2 sets of 20 box jumps.

Moved over to starting circle for Mary.

MARY:

all in sequence – flutter kicks 20, hello dolly 20, Thors to 5.

Finished the search for Jenny fun by listening to the inspiration for this Q, 867-5309 while holding a plank position.  Performed a plank jack anytime we heard Jenny (11) and a merkin for every 8645309 (21).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We all fail.  It’s how we react to and overcome failure that matters.  Inspired by Gary Robbins and his missing the 60 hour cut-off time at the Barkley Marathon by 6 seconds last year.  He didn’t quit or give up after this failure.  He came back this year and while no one finished, he made it farther than anyone (3 laps).
