At this point we’ve spelled BLIMP and the pax were given a choice between that last round to make BLIMPS or a wildcard. Wildcard won, so:

10 burpees, 10 squats IC
9 burpees, 9 squats IC
8 burpees, 8 squats IC
7 burpees, 7 squats IC

LOL jk we’re still doing that last round, so:

2 Burpee – Run across

4 Lunges IC – Run across
4 Merkins – Run across
6 Imperial Walkers IC – Run across
6 Merkins – Run across
8 Merkins – Run across
8 Merkins – Run across
And that’s all the time we had


COT

Our man Whittler begins a new gig at Erlanger in the trauma/ER department today. It’s a big change for him and his family, so we took the opportunity to lay hands on him and pray for what’s ahead.


Moleskin

Never a dull moment with Burrito is around to contribute to the mumble chatter. He took a tumble early on but didn’t let it slow him down. Something must’ve jumped up and bit him.

The wildcard vote came down to Radiohead. He isn’t scared of anything and definitely not scared of getting better! I’d like to think we got Hugely better today.

        one like the hippies make:
        group of three (one add on if needed)
        2 PAX on opposite ends will broad jump to the middle until they meet
        remaining PAX runs between the other two until they meet
        Fastest trio does 5 burpees, 2nd trio does 10
        broad jump back out, rest at the end, then rotate PAX

        Swap broad jumps for lunges for set 2.

        Had some extra time so we hit the weight room:
        Super Dips – Merkins – Mary X 3
        Decline Merkins just for fun
        Made use of the specially designed tables for horizontal rows and more mary.

        One of the PAX had to leave urgently, it was important and it stinks that he had to leave.

            “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
            1 Corinthians 15:57


            3. Be thankful for those whom God as put in your life!

                  Indigenous Peoples Burpee Run (keeping it politically correct) each Pax did 3 rounds. We then picked out some coupons I stole from my neighbor’s scrap pile last night and partnered up for a Dora. 100 curls, 200 overhead presses, 300 squats and 400 little baby crunches. We then moseyed over to the pavilion and while one partner did 30 leg lifts the other partner practiced their best Fight Club moves while sitting on the wall for a couple of rounds. Upon completion we bear crawled back to the flag with no time to spare.


                  COT

                  Today is Veterans Day. It is not lost on me that we are blessed to be able to gather, fellowship and practice our faith in this country freely how and when we see fit. There are places in this world where bowing your head around a flag is not allowed. We owe a lot to our Veterans and let me encourage everyone to take a moment and thank the people in their lives who served in the military for doing so in whatever capacity they did. My dad was drafted during Vietnam and served in the Army and my brother served in Iraq and Afghanistan in the Air Force. I love them very much and am proud I can give them a buzz later today.
                  BALL OF MAN: Milkman asked for prayers for the young marine’s family who took his own life last week. Couch Potato made a point of encouraging us all to look out for those guys who are struggling after their service. Let’s get headlocks on those guys and get them out in the gloom with others who can help encourage and pick them up when life gets hard. Hasboro’s grandmother is recovering from a heart attack over the weekend, but is in good spirits.


                  Moleskin

                  It was a good morning all the way around and my first time to Q at the Huey. Milkman runs faster backwards than forwards I think, and Ducktales and Couch Potato may or may not need to be tested for PED’s. Burrito insisted we bear crawl to finish the day off (he’s an animal), and I got my gloves all wet, which is a bummer. I have my suspicions U-Turn may be a CIA assassin (he is a quiet guy who I am pretty sure is holding back and could make Couch Potato look like me if he kicked it up to a 10). I’ll bet his body count is prolific. For that matter Hasboro may be one too.
