COT

Discussed my time in Italy and while in Assisi visited the church of St. Francis.  I felt that if we could all live by the words of this prayer our community and our world would be a greater place.

Peace Prayer of Saint Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy. 

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive, 
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, 
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.

Moleskin

The group worked hard and there was little mumble chatter.  The Q – has a special gift for the PAX he brought back from Italy except he left it on the kitchen counter at his apt.

    Heart Break Hill … Conquered!

    QIC: The Count (Respect, Respect)

    Date: 04/10/2019

    PAX: Deep Dish, Fastlane, 9Volt (Respect), Rug Doctor (Respect), Sidewinder (Respect)

    AO: The Battery

    Conditions

    Great morning with a little humidity, 55 Degrees and calm.

    COP

    Began with 4 Corners warm up:  SSH, Plank Jacks, Mountain Climbers, Imperial Walkers. Rotated through all four stations and did exercises IC x 15.  Mosey along path to rear of dog park and around to pavilion and to “Heart Break Hill”.  Concluded warm up with Willie Mays Hayes, Third Grade Exercises, and Ham String Stretches.

    The Thang

    Heart Break Hill (HBH) / Dora 123

    Partnered up at bottom of (HBH). 

    Round 1:  Partner 1 Runs up / down (HBH) while partner 2 conducts exercises.  Merkins (100), LBC’s (200), Squats (300) – During this round it ended up that each PAX conquered (HBH) once during Merkins, twice during LBC’s, and four times during Squats.

    Round 2: (because this group was kicking ass) we modified to AMRAP for exercises while partner did (HBH) once for Merkins,  twice for LBC’s, and three times, but instead of squats we did lunges.

    Round of Mary’s:  We did round of Mary’s until time was complete.  All done (IC) x 10: American Hammer, Heel Touches, Leg Lifts, Hello Dolly.

    ENDEX!

    COT

    CIRCLE OF TRUST: After completing the Counterama and Namerama, we had Praise and Prayer requests.  
    BALL OF MAN: Congregation of two or more men in physical contact, usually (but not exclusively) in the prayer that terminates the COT. Abbr: BOM]

    Moleskin

    This was nice even number of 6 PAX so it worked well with DORA’s.  Had to give DeepDish some remedial training on the difference between SSH and Mountain Climbers!!! 🙂  I’m not sure if the hill going from street level up to pool has an official name, but to me, it will be now called “Heart Break Hill” (HBH)!  The real message was fairly simple:  “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm” — Ralph Waldo Emerson.  Go out and Make It A Great Day, especially for someone else.

      Praise and Prayer request . Yesterday in Church I was reminded, at a time that I needed it, that there is life after death, and we’ll be reunited with our loved ones in the Kingdom. The Transfiguration in Mark 9:1-13 reinforces that. I personally have dealt with a lot of death of family and friends, it will happen . I know there will be a wonderful reunion in our Heavenly Kingdom. Remember there is no expiration on a birth certificate. When that time comes will you be ready?

      The PAX worked hard and modified where necessary. Wasn’t a lot of Mumble Chatter, but the effort was strong and cardio was a butt kicker!! Great start to the week!

        PAX divided into three groups, each containing a fair number of FNGs

        Prescription for Pain
        After meeting at the Combat Medic statue, PAX were each given a prescription with a specified “dose” of an exercise.  Short mosey between the stars as we advanced.  The exercises were cumulative i.e. 1 then 1 and 2 then 1, 2, and 3, etc.

        1 – 8 count Body builder

        2 – Alternating shoulder taps

        3 – burpees

        4 – 4 count flutter kicks

        5 – merkins

        6 – Froggy squats

        7 – 4 count LBCs

        8 – imperial walkers

        9 – 4 count SSH

        Field Of Dreams (Q-TheCount)

        It’s the start of Baseball Season, so AO for Field Of Dreams was set up like the infield on a Baseball Field.  

        PAX counted off by fours and each proceeded to corresponding work station (Base) for start of circuit.

        First Base – (Squats / Lunges)

        Second Base – (Merkins / Plank Jacks)

        Third Base – (LBC’s / Flutter Kicks)

        Home Plate – Burpees

        All rotation controlled by PAX at Home Plate doing Burpees.  Once PAX complete 10 Burpees they sound off to All PAX “ROTATE”, where all PAX AYG to next base.  Home moves to First Base, First Base to Second Base, Second Base to Third Base, and Third Base to Home Plate. 

        At each Base PAX will perform AMRAP of one of the exercises at that location.  They will alternate the exercises on each rotation through that base. 

        Goal is to complete as many rotations around the bases as possible (at least 3-4) in allotted time.

        Across the Hacksaw Bridge (Q – Sidekick)

        *Divide into groups of three and line up:

        Pax 1: Sprint to third tree
        Pax 2: Overhead presses until sprinter returns
        Pax 3: Plank until sprinter returns

        *Last place team 5 burpees, next to last 4 burpees, next 3 burpees, and so on… winner = 0 burpees.

        Pax pair up in 2’s for a Dora: 150 merkins

          The Thang – Millenial

          Goal is a total count of 2000 total reps as a team. The full pax does 100 reps each of a called exercise, then runs a 100m lap back to a point where they gather again for the next called exercise. There will be 10 cycles, which get you to your number. Teamwork matters. The first nine cycles end when the FIRST person gets to 100, which keeps the pax together. The last cycle, which is always burpees, is done together (We ended up doing Burpees for a solid 4 minutes before time ended.
          Cycles: 1) SSH; 2) Lunges; 3) Merkins; 4) LBCs; 5) Mtn. Climbers; 6) Flutters; 7) Imperial Walkers; 8) Squats; 9) Oblique Crunches – 50 per side; 10) Burpees.  Named as year 2000 is within the time period around which the Millenial generation was born.
          Let me say the mumble chatter was strong today, and mostly because Radio-Head saved me from being up close and personal with a “Land-Mine.”  In this case it was a spent condom!  I of course directed everyone to move several feet from that point!  From that point forward, the barbs and jabs were flying!  At one point I recall Mr. Clean threaten to stuff Geek Squad into that “Land-Mine”…and of course there were a few, “That’s what she said” as well.  All in all it was a fun and enjoyable workout!

          Came from today’s reading from “Forward Day by Day”:  Psalm 37:1,3. Do not fret yourself because of evildoers; do not be jealous of those who do wrong.  Put your trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and feed on it’s riches.
          Most days I haven’t been out of bed very long before I catch sight of a headline on my phone or the front page of the newspaper and plunge headlong into fretting because of evildoers.  This seems a particularly dark time in our country.
          Surely, we aren’t supposed to let evil have it’s way while we sit back and wait for God to make the bad guys “wither like the grass.”
          The psalmist’s advice is quite clear: Trust in the Lord. God is in charge of the endgame.  Do good, boldly resist evil, and work for justice, mercy, and peace.  We are reassured that “there is a future for the peaceable,” and “the future of the wicked is cut off.”
          Trust. Do good. Don’t fret.
