INTRO:

Since YHC had to bow out from Qing last week due to some unplanned dental work, I jumped at the opportunity to fill in an open slot at the Kodiak.  It is always a good group and the morning was going to be perfect….so what should I do?  After a quick run to grab the key from Whamo and some sand babies from Bloodhound, I had all the ingredients I needed.

WARM-O-RAMA:

SSHs x 20

Weed Pickers x 12

Hill Billies x 12

Sun Gods (Fwd & Rev)

THE THANG:

So when all the PAX grumble as soon as YHC mentions the word ‘coupon’, you know its going to be a good morning indeed.  All pax partnered up (which is always nice with an even #), grabbed one baby per team and headed to the field.

To start we did 2 sets of run / exercise routine (no coupon):

– Sprint to 50 / Drop for 10 Merkins / back peddle to opposite end zone

– Spring to 50 / Drop for 10 burpees / back peddle to original end zone

Next up was a four corners routine that each team did together. Partner 1 held plank/Al Gore while Partner 2 did exercise and flip flop as necessary until each partner did # of reps:

– Corner 1 – Merkins x 10 / partner plank

– Corner 2 – Genuines x 20 / prtner plank

– Corner 3 – Skull Crushers x 30 / partner Al Gore

– Corner 4 – Elf on a Shelf x 40 / partner Al Gore

Next up was another partner coupon routine called Hot Potato. Partners lined up opposite on their 6’s and locked ankles (think prep for Navy Seal situps). Partner 1 does BBSU and hands coupon to partner 2. Continue for 50 reps (25 reps each PAX).

Plenty of time so we did another 2 sets of runs / exercises:

– Sprint to 50 / 10 Monkey Humpers / back peddle to opposite end zone

– Sprint to 50 / 10 Mountain Climbers (Kodiak) / back peddle to original end zone

Another set of Hot Potato x 50.  However, Garfield let loose on this one and had to bail halfway through. We all need to keep Banjo and that end of the line in our prayers…some wounds take time to heal!

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Prayers for all the recent new additions to fellow PAX families (future FNGs in the making). 

Naked-Man Moleskin:

As we go about our day and work on being intential with our M’s, 2.0’s, staff or whomever in regards to the eternal impact we can have on our families and community at large, YHC simply reminded the PAX this morning of the beauty of spontaneity. My M suggested a great idea yesterday afternoon and, while my  “to do” list was long (and boring), I agreed to put all that off to the side so we could enjoy the afternoon together. Absolutely the right call for both of us.  Always an honor to lead a group of F3 HIMs in the gloom…thank you!
