Start with the base of the tree, Route 66.

Along the Greenway at the front of the Asylum.  At the first light pole perform a Candlestick Burpee (at the end of the burpee, jump up like a candle, with hands straight up hands clapped above your head).  Add 1 rep at each successive light pole until you get to 11 reps.  When finished, run back to the beginning and plank until the 6 arrives.

Elf Runs
In order for the big guy to have a successful night, the elves have to be ready to move fast and do some work.  Elf runs are one of their key off-season training tools.

Set up like suicide runs with a baseline and 5 cones in a row.  Run to the furthest cone and back, do 10 merkins. Then run to the second furthest cone and back do another 10 merkins. Rinse and repeat for each of the cones.

Mosey to hill on the right side of the Asylum.

 

The Grinch’s Legs
We all want the strength the Grinch gets when he saves Cindi on the sleigh right?  Perform the following, then run to the top of the hill and touch the curb

  • Jump Squats x10
  • Side Lunges x 10 each side
  • Reverse Lunges x10 each leg

Rinse and repeat.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM
Deuteronomy 30:19 – “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live“

This morning got up and enjoyed the crisp air with great men under a beautiful sunrise because we have a Creator who loves us and loves show us that love through his creation.  Every day we have the opportunity to enjoy those gifts, but we must make the choice to embrace them.  Seize every moment you can to pour life, love, grace and truth into those around you.

 

Got It.

    CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
    As men, some of us have anger issues frequently, while most of us have anger issues at least some of the time.   We must learn to control our anger.  Anger is not a bad thing in itself.  It tells us something is wrong.  We need to logically fix what is wrong, go to others for help, or pray to God about the matter. What we don’t need to do is become hostile or lose control of our emotions.  Through prayer and truly asking God to work with us, we can overcome anger issues.  We can also go to our brothers if we have an anger issue and ask for their guidance and help.ANNOUNCEMENTS:
