Mosey to the inner loop road just over from shovel flag. We took a detour and everyone thought I was lost.

There we met an 80 lb sandbag

We divided up into groups of 2. Group 1 partner carries the sandbag ~10-12 steps then burpee (repeat sequence 3 times then run back to the first station. Group 2 will do the same and so on…While each group is taking their turn the other groups will be working on the 1st station of exercises. When the sandbag reaches the next station everyone progresses to that station. Stations were roughly .24 miles apart. 

1st station 

21 of each-15 of each-9 of each (In between each round run to wherever the sandbag is and back)

Squat Jumps/Hand Release Merkins/Shin Huggers

2nd Station

21 of each-15 of each-9 of each (In between each round run to wherever the sandbag is and back)

Curtsey Lunges/Carolina Dry Docks/Crab to Toe Taps

3rd Station

21 of each-15 of each-9 of each (In between each round run to wherever the sandbag is and back)

Monkey Humpers/Merkins/Pickle Pounders

 

We caught up to the group with the sandbag with about 5 minutes left and finished carrying it back to the AO in the same fashion. The rest of the group alternated between bear crawl and walking.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Hopefully today you’ve been exposed to a new workout. The goal was to get us out of our comfort zone a little.
Think about your daily routine a little. Maybe you come here, eat, run to the office, do some sort of hobby or kid activity, etc.
What if your best laid plans and goals were thrown off for some reason….there are terrible ways that can happen like losing your job or an accident, but there are also positive ways like job opportunities, unexpected callings or kids
The character of a person…and in this case a MAN… is how you react in those situations. I don’t want a show of hands, but if you cringed or had a negative reflection of how you would probably react…then you need to remember that gods in control. You should feel comfort in Him and fall back on your values and trusts that you are in good hands.
Sometimes He like to take us out of our comfort zones and frankly laughs at them. He’s laughed at mine twice over the past year…
Matthew chapter 4
Jesus, God’s son is the trustworthy one
On the heals of fathers day, this hits home to me because those unexpected calls have caused me to hesitate…which to me has seemed like a failure in grasping His plan for me and our family. However, he’s trusting in me to care for his children and I hope that I can be the father and the example that they need

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

On June 28, 2005, Lt. Murphy was the officer-in-charge of a four-man SEAL element in support of Operation Red Wing tasked with finding key anti-coalition militia commander in Afghanistan. Shortly after inserting into the objective area, the SEALs were spotted by three goat herders who were initially detained and then released. It is believed the goat herders immediately reported the SEALs’ presence to Taliban fighters.

A fierce gun battle ensued on the steep face of the mountain between the SEALs and a much larger enemy force. Despite the intensity of the firefight and suffering grave gunshot wounds himself, Murphy is credited with risking his own life to save the lives of his teammates.

By the end of a two-hour gunfight that careened through the hills and over cliffs, Murphy, Gunner’s Mate 2nd Class (SEAL) Danny Dietz and Sonar Technician 2nd Class (SEAL) Matthew Axelson had fallen. An estimated 35 Taliban were also dead.  The fourth SEAL, Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class (SEAL) Marcus Luttrell, was blasted over a ridge by a rocket-propelled grenade and knocked unconscious. Though severely wounded, the fourth SEAL and sole survivor, Luttrell, was able to evade the enemy for nearly a day; after which local nationals came to his aide, carrying him to a nearby village where they kept him for three more days. Luttrell was rescued by U.S. Forces on July 2, 2005.

Lt. Murphy was buried at Calverton National Cemetery less than 20 miles from his childhood home. Lt. Murphy’s other personal awards include the Purple Heart, Combat Action Ribbon, the Joint Service Commendation Medal, the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Ribbon and National Defense Service Medal.

1 John 4:7 – Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

John 13:34 – A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

11 got better with burpees this morning!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.”-Romans 12:1‭-‬3 NASB1995

We are not to give in to desires of the flesh. This is what the world does, but we are called to be different…transformed in fact. One way in which to do this is to not think too highly of ourselves. Arrogance and selfishness are two terrible characteristics to have. Everyone struggles with these. Instead remember to humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up. James 4:10

MOLESKIN:
Way to push through this morning. Burpees can be tough, but they will make you stronger if you keep doing them.

We played “Encantados”. We divided in two teams, the objective was to capture all the other team members in less than 5 mins. If you get caught, then you will do 20 merkins and 20 squats. If all your team is captured, the whole team will do 20 burpees as punishment :). We had a lot of fun and it was really hard to chase some of the fellas, they were expert dodgers :).

We mosey to the soccer fields, but on our way we performed some fun exercises:

  • 20 box jumps.
  • 20 Derkins.
  • 20 Toe Merkins.
  • 20 Dips.
  • 20 BBS.
  • 20 Heels to Heaven.

At the soccer field we played some penalty kicks. We regrouped again in teams, if the team scored, they would decide what exercise the other team would do and it would be repeated 20 times. We ended up doing the exercises all together since the our team was not that expert with the ball :).

Mosey to the Flag and 20 more squats.
