The temperature was about as low as the average age now of the PAX at FWD this morning as we missed our Honor PAX’s that have moved to a new location. Started off with a declaration stating my love of Q’ing, which got the mumblechatter rolling.
We moseyed to the rock pile for the warm-up, which consisted of:
– Hamstring Stretch or what some call a Quad Stretch
– South Cary Stretch with Pigeon option
– Bat Wings (aka Martina Special) which consists of 20 x Forward Arm Circles, 20 x Backwards Arm Circles, 20 x seal claps, 20 x overhead claps, all in cadence. The joy of everyone’s faces will always be remembered.
In honor of National Pie Day, we treated the rocks as Pies, and carried them with us all the way to the bridge. We then did lunges for half the bridge, making sure not to drop our pie’s. Once across, we attempted to do 11’s with Rock Your Bodies at the top and World’s Worst Merkins at the bottom. We made it through about 7 rounds, before we had to take our pie’s back across the bridge, doing lunges along the way, and safely back to their original resting place, before getting back to the flag just in time.
Thanks to those that came out this morning. I tend to overthink Q’ing, which leads me to not Q’ing enough, and I hope to change that. They say it takes 1000 times to perfect something, so only 997 more Q’s to go.
Announcements – DDD, Highland Games, WebMD’s bourbon run, Tobacco Road Relay.
Prayers – Keep in mind that words matter and you can’t take them back. I have to constantly remind myself of this as I tend to overreact with my kids. Matthew 15:17-19 says “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them.”
Also, the coffee is much better at FWD per IC Light. Thanks @Doula and @Renfield. MIAGD!
