We have 5 rounds of 20 reps of each exercise:

  • Squat Thrust
  • 4ct Curls

  • Up/Over Merkins (each side = 1)
  • Alpos

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Repeat of James 3. Because I still haven’t got mine tamed yet:
Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. 2 For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. 3 If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. 4 Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. 5 So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things.

How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life,[a] and set on fire by hell.[b] 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. 10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers,[c] these things ought not to be so. 11 Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water? 12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water.

MOLESKIN:
Really looking forward to when it finally gets cool… That was not today.

THA-THANG:

Iron Pax Week 0 at the Equalizer! All HIMs decided to participate in the full workout. Q measured out 200 meters and 400 meters out on the “400 Meter” Equalizer Track. PAX was in charge of doing mental math while running to decide how they got their distance in (Spoiler Alert: 2 HIMs messed up. They MAY have several advanced degrees between them, but hey, math is hard). 

  • 100 Merkins
  • 800 Meter run
  • 75 Merkins 
  • 1,200 Meter run
  • 50 Merkins
  • 1,600 Meter run
  • 25 Merkins
  • 2,000 Meter run

MARY:

Picked up the 6 as Snitch finished his last run. It’s not that Snitch was the slowest, he just decided to show up at the normal start time. A man like him doesn’t need the extra time to bust out the Iron Pax Challenge! 

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

6 HIMs completed the IPC Wk 0 workout. Snitch came in late and Mudpuppy left as soon as he finished. 

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

You have to be humble. You have to acknowledge your faults and your failings. Stretch yourself as a man, husband, and father, but do not OVER-extend yourself. Know your limits. Push them, but if you go too far, you can burn out and fall. 

The grass is not greener

Add on a few more sprints then mosey back to the AO by way of the Snake to use our tax dollar investment…

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The grass is not always greener on the other side. The phrase actually originated over 2000 years ago as a poetic proverb by Publius Ovidius Naso, better known as Ovid, regarding agriculture and the harvest always looking more fruitful in another man’s field. With social media today. It’s very easy to look into other lives and think they have everything together. That their lives are perfect and ours is crap. Nothing could be further from the truth. I talked about how I literally thought my neighbors grass was greener and prettier than my lawn. But it wasn’t until I walked over to talk to him that I could see all the imperfections and bare spots in his yard once standing in it. Looking back at my yard from his, I noticed mine didn’t look that bad from his angle. In fact it looks better than his yard. So, the point of all this is that we should not look at others and try and base our lives on them. But we should look to God for guidance and try to better ourselves every day.
MOLESKIN:
It was great being back at the equalizer today. I missed the crew there very much. Last night I had a pretty good wreck on my mountain bike and it was pretty tough for me to get going this morning. Once getting in the groove and seeing everyone working hard my injuries loosened up and didn’t bother me as bad.
