Circuit time! I used a 6-station circuit around the lot that was arranged in a weird pattern to keep people on their toes. 20 reps at each station. Do 2ct if it requires. The three babies were also involved. If you get to a station that has one, do 10 reps of anything you want with that particular baby. If someone else is using it, feel free to move on or wait til they’re done.

  • Run a lap of the garage

Again rinse and repeat for two rounds.  Another quick 10 count, then run a half lap of the garage to get to the north stairwell.  There we did three sets of calf raises on the stairs, 15 reps per set.  First set regular, second set toes in, third set toes out for calf raises.  Then Oompa Loompa down the stairs to the bottom (squat each step taken).

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
5 Strong: Walrus, Cornhole, Huffy, Swanson, Abort
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’ve just struggled this week in getting out in the gloom.  My M has been struggling with fear at night.  Her grandmother’s apartment burned on Saturday (she made it out, but lost everything) and now she is terrified that our house will burn down while we sleep.  We’ve been unplugging almost everything we can before going to bed.  This is something that I really struggle with.  My reaction is to want to “fix” a problem, but this is not something I can really fix.  I just have to be supportive and help her move past her fears.  Huffy really brought it home, giving us Psalm 56:3 “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you” and added that every day our Lord challenges us to allow our faith to overcome.
MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Huffy, who had a skiing accident that has his shoulder in bad shape (yet he still makes it out to workouts, like a beast), prayers for Walrus who is trying to improve his marriage and working on things with his M, praise and prayers that Swanson had great news at the doctor
