Intro:

Chops brought out a bucket of softballs, required PAX to hurl them, chase them down, and work through some LEADERSHIP exercises to remind PAX of needs of the nation.

Warm-o-Rama:

Mozy down to lower elementary bus lanes for SSH IC, Weed Picker IC, Windmill IC, Chinooks OYO, Sun Gods OYO, Annie IC.

The Thang:

YHC brought a theme around LEADERSHIP, and since softball season what better than to throw softballs down the bus lane. PAX pair up and grab a softball from bucket, partner throws softball down the lane and partner chases it down while other does reps of exercise. Each pair take turns working through
L – Lunge
E – Burpee
A – Ranger Merkins (hands tight beside ribs)
D – Deadlift (deep squat hands to ankles, up and hands above head)
E – Heel Taps (on back side to side touch heels)
R – Raisers (on knees Left Hand/Right Leg out)
S – Scissors (on back alternate scissor legs horizontally)
H – Bridges (up on hands back toward ground, knees bent, push hips upward)
I – Inverted (Carolina Dry Docks)
P – Plank Rolls (J-Lo’s)

Following that did round of 21 stopping on 7… PAX counted well.

Then mozy to grassy hill for 7's on bear crawl up, crawl bear down, monkey humper up top, curb decline merkin on bottom.

Finally mozy back to flag for 30 IC flutter kicks, and holding 6 inches.

COT:

Mention of 3rd F convergence at Family Tradition, request for PAX to step up to Q some new BDs to help spread F3 to southern areas, prayers for Olivers little baseball buddy bone infection concern, and overall prayers for unspoken. Also new order of Lions Den shirts is coming.

Naked Man Moleskin:

Finished up my quarterly Q today. 6 Q's over 3 months flew by. Creativity was my goal, and many of the PAX applauded the variety. Looking forward to more opportunities at other AO's to continue to push past my timid reservations, and continue to invest and share in F3. Also… good thing the PAX are decisive in now hurling the softballs in the air to hard and high and potentially knocking each other out as they run away from launch line.
