WARM-O-RAMA:

3 very slow cherry pickers

THA-THANG:
The workout was simple, but due to the Ghostflag, we had two well represented groups from Juco & F3 Smokies vying to take it home.  We chose to host a competition, and the first group with 3 to finish the workout below took home the flag.
The workout was as follows:
The Impossible Mile
400 M Run
100 Merkins
400 M Run
100 Squats
400 M Run
100 BURPEES
400 M Run

Following that sweat fest, we moved over to the Jesus statue and found a battle buddy.  One partner held a wall squat while the other partner did 50 dips.  After both partners completed the exercises, we switched one partner held a balls to the wall while the other partner did 50 step ups.  Once both partners completed both exercises, we moseyed back to the flag for a Mary.

MARY:
The Mary was very popular today.
10 snow angels in cadence followed by 10 merkins
20 Flutters in cadence followed by 10 merkins
13 Shoulder taps in cadence followed by 10 merkins
finally 7 more burpees

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Today we talked about the Golden rule and simply treating others the way that we want to be treated.  Especially making a hard workout for those trying to steal the Ghost Flag because I expect a hard workout if I want to steal it back!!

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Rock, paper, scissors, flipping a coin and drawing cards can all be seen a luck. However, luck is just something we tell ourselves when we do not understand the journey or the outcome. In truth, God has ordained out steps, He is with us in our journey and doesn’t leave us no matter the outcome.  Trust in Him, not in the illusion of luck
