DO BETTER! YHC didn’t have a particular verse to share but challenged our PAX to do better. We wake up way to early in the mornings to go work out and get better physically. Maybe so much so that it may take some of our drive throughout the day to DO BETTER in other areas of our lives. Speaking for myself, I can DO BETTER as a husband, DO BETTER as a dad, DO BETTER as a friend, or DO BETTER at my job. Sometimes it’s not enough to just get by. As men and leaders, we should go the extra mile and DO BETTER at doing life.

YHC prayed us out.

NMM- Evidently, I must have some kind of jinx on me when it comes to Q’ing RED Friday. I bet it has rained 8 out of 10 of my last Q’s here. Kudos to BenGay and Crayola for showing up when everything else was telling them it would be better to stay at home in a warm bed. Being completely transparent, I probably would have too. But that is one good thing about signing up to Q. You know you have to be there, rain or not, tired or not, cold or not. There are guys that are going to show up counting on you to be there. So get your arses on the Q sheet! Sometimes you have to be your own accountability. Evidently rain isn’t for everyone, even though we had a nice dry place to put our downpainment. Two fallen heros were honored. 3 HIMS got better so we could go about our day and DO BETTER!

No Quit in That Horse

Location: Talon, Saturday 3/11

PAX: Sunshine, Tickle, Foreclosure, Bubblewrap, Fratelli, Landline, Swingline, Special K, Flea, Brut-Q, Triple Bogey, Inspector, Switch, Sharpie, Rapunzel

Warmup (if any): 25 SSH, 20 Shoulder Taps, 20 Imperial Walkers

The Thang: And so it begins.  Head to Covered area.  50 leg raises, 25 Box Jumps, 25 Decline Merkins.  Next up 1 minute Wall sit, 25 more decline Merkins, 50 calf raises. 

Short mosey to back playground.  1/1/1 all the way to 10/10/10 reps of the following: Merkins, Big Boys, Pull-ups.  

Mosey back to parking lot, with a short stop at the steps for 50 more calf raises.  

30 minute AMRAP: 5 exercises, 24 reps of each = 1 round.  After you complete a round, alternate forward/backward mosey painted parking spots and back.  Exercises were: Bonnie Blair's (easy way), Hollow Rocks, Squats, Big Boys, Burpees. After 3 rounds we had about 10 minutes left, quick audible to mix it up for the grand finale.

Line up first parking space, a PAX calls 5-10 reps of an exercise, all perform work then 🐻 crawl to next spot, and go on down the line of PAX and repeat.  Burpees were flowing like the salmon of Capistrano, and we ended with a 60 second plank.  RECOVER called, circled up.  We counted, named, announced, and YHC prayed us out.

Announcements: Connie Max work day today and presentation of PB and fundraising, 9-11.  Thank you Swingline for including us to help this awesome ministry.  He had his ride sitting in the axles packed with peanut butter!  

Prayer Requests: Crayola and Sharpie's mom, Budweiser's family with passing of his dad.

NMM: Point 1, hollow rocks are no joke, abs were a burning after those and big boys.  Point 2, YHC hopes Fratelli still has skin left on his shin (hazard of premosey and box jumps combo).  Point 3: 600 jars of peanut butter weighs a lot!  Point 4: A Clydesdale rolled into COT late (had to get all prescribed miles) and admitted to narrowly avoiding the F3 name Shrinkage. 😂 Could have been worse, a sanitation worker was dubbed Outhouse and never was seen again.  If ya can't take the heat, get yo butt out da kitchen.  Great crowd today, top shelf effort by all.  As always, an honor to lead this group of HIMS.

Anouncements- BRING PEANUT BUTTER! Connie Maxwell work day this Saturday 3/11 from 0900-1200. Sign up link https://t.co/4ULenusf3c?ssr=true

 

Prayer requests- Lewinsky and his dad. Foreclosure and his parents.

 

Daily nugget- “Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity. What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the sun? A generation goes, and a generation comes, but the earth remains forever. The sun rises, and the sun goes down, and hastens to the place where it rises.” Ecclesiastes 1:2-5

 

We can all get caught up in the daily grind and feel like every day is no different than the other. God didn’t put us here to live a mondain life just going through the motions. He designed us to glorify Him and to worship Him. Even in the daily routine that never seem to change, we can glorify Him in the things we do and be thankful.

 

YHC prayed us out.

 

NMM- Word on the street is that I haven’t been around much since D2D. Leg 11 did take some things from me that I may never get back. IYKYK. So, after my very brief hiatus, I jumped back on the Q sheet. I figured I better bring the donkey punch when I came back. The only way to make an exercise suck more is to sprinkle a little BDE on it. And that’s what we did. We will see more of these in the future as well. The jump ropes haven’t made an appearance since IPC, so we threw a few hundred of those in the mix. Solid group of studs this morning. Good to see Rapunzel getting his bootcamps on. He will turning over the Fury Belt Thursday, so if you think you have what it takes to win the belt, then get your 6 up and be at Fury Thursday. Rumor has it that I won’t be recovered by Thursday to be there. We’ll just have to see if there’s any truth to that. Only one way to find out. Thanks for showing up guys. If you weren’t there, then you were missed!
