MOLESKIN:
I planned on running this Q up on the soccer field across the street, but it was so dark I couldn’t see the cones when they were 10 feet away.
Oh well… Whatever kind of grass that is near the AO smells pretty nice. I guess it’s whatever they put on there to cover up the odor of the dog excrement…
Thanks to Mayberry for today’s title. Definitely appreciated the “I love hate you right now, Waxjob” toward the end of the beatdown.

WARM-O-RAMA:

  • Stretch OYO
  • Merkins x 10 IC
  • SSH x 20 IC
  • LBAC fwd/bkwd x 10 IC
  • Squats x 10 IC
  • Run a lap around the island

THA-THANG:
Grab something heavy and begin a slow mosey.  Weights consisted of Ratchet’s gas cans, several kettlebells, 30, 25, 20 lb dumbbells, and the golden cmu.  We moseyed for about 100-150 yards at a time around the park, stopping for 25 reps of the following exercises.

  • Burpees
  • Nose wipers
  • Squats
  • Gas pumpers
  • Curls
  • Dry Docks

Once we reached the paved hill by the bathrooms.  11’s….sort of.  We started out doing 11’s but then the QIC changed it to just 10 reps at the top and 10 reps at the bottom each time.  Merkins at the top, Squats at the bottom.   Each trip up the hill the PAX carried all the weight and were allowed to leave the lightest weight at the top of the hill.  We were done once we’d worked our way down to just a single 87lb gas can.   Probably 10 or 11 trips up and down the hill with the weight.

Mosey back to the AO with the weight.  Stop along the way for sets of 25 of the following:

  • Dips
  • American Hammers
  • Burpees

MARY:

  • Star Crunch x 10 IC
  • Heel ups x 10 IC

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Since my 2.0 goes to a Christian school, she has a verse to memorize nearly every week, and has ever since kindergarten. We’ve always used the drive time to school to learn that verse together. I really appreciate the time to dwell on the Word and let it sink in.
This week’s passage was Jeremiah 29:11-14. Verse 11 is pretty popular, but the one that caught me was verse 13: “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” We’re all seeking God, whether we know it or not. Everyone is looking to fill that hole that only He can. Seek Him with all your heart, and He’s promised that you will find Him.
MOLESKIN:
Shoulda started my watch when I laid out the course… Only got credit for half the miles I ran this morning!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Thanks to everyone who brought snacks for Wesley House. Delivery this week!
