What a glorious morning to lead the the PAX.the weather was fantastic and the fellowship was even better. We started out with 2 laps around the church and quickly circled up for some SSH’s and good mornings. Next up 11’s in the parking lot (Merkins on one side Boat Canoes on the other). From there we headed over to Mookies Pickle and did 11 merkin/boat canoes at 3 corners and 12 of each at the final corner With about 10 minutes left we took the long way back to flag and proceeded to plank hold while random pax jumped rope.

3 + miles was achieved and we hit 100 merkins & boat canoes.

We had multiple ruckers and a big turnout of folks for the EC.

Grateful to lead the pax and prayers for Petey, My M for a speedy recovery from her surgery and safe travels for Sparky as he heads back to Wisconsin.

Three for the blue collar one mile EC. Wings showed up on time and brought two seminarians that live in Texas who lodged lakeside at the Wings estate for the week whilst taking a class at Shepherd’s seminary.

Mosey, warmups, mosey, pickle with a cherry and CDDs/LBCs, then balls to the wall and squats, then 60%/80%/100% runs x 6.

Much to the YHC Astro’s chagrin another FNG named Jared was not named Subway. 0 for 2!

The dome prevails!
Great morning to try out some new thangs. Thanks to the PAX for their patience.

Thang 1- Field of Dreams. Partner up, take a base on the field aka corner of parking lot, each corner assigned an exercise. PAX at home base aka 4th base execute 10 burpees while all others AMRAP. Then run to first to relieve that team, all teams advancing a base. Rinse and repeat.
Thang 2- F3 baseball. New partners, new field, new exercises. Each base assigned an exercise where the PAX must work together to achieve 100 reps. Start spread out one team per base. Once done, advance a base. If you catch the team in front they do 10 penalty burpees (some selectively heard 2).
Clear as mud?

Fun times with a great crew capped off with delicious brew.
MIAGD!

Amazing Day for some great HIMs at the SCary’sPREMIERE AO.

Started off strong with the pledge and a mosey heart touching moment for Web as he admired his senior leader and helped him remember how to call SSHs!

Next was lamp-post alley. Ran the alley twice, first round was merkins every post. This weekends upcoming horse race got me on the betting mood. Made a bet that ECs are not workouts, and my horse won! The prize. Next round Burpees at every post! Heart was screaming!!

Finished with a game of ultimate. And everyone promised to do their burpees at home today.

Praises and prayers.

Bonfire at TR’s place Saturday.

Make it a great evening!

We ventured off site this morning after Mission, Pledge, and warmups. We moseyed into Summerwinds neighborhood making some stops for merkins, Bobby Hurleys, CDDs, LBCs, & squats. Eventually we made our way down to the lake via an inconspicuous greenway entrance. After a short stint we exited to apartments after stopping for some irkins at playground.

Thang 1 was rotating bear crawls, crab walks, backwards run, and Carioca up to the top of hill at apartments. We exited out to sidewalk and turned back into Waverly for Thang 2: BLIMPS across Whole Foods parking lot. There was still some time to spare so we got a round of Four Corners w/ hand release merkins in before moseying back to flag.

A few announcements and a bunch of prayer requests this morning.

MIAGD!

12 stong at Shepherd’s this beautiful Good Friday. Lots of chatter leading up to the 5:30 start, always a sign of a great group.

Over to Craft for a quick warmup, including a broken Rockette Imperial Walkers, and some almost yoga poses.

Partner up for Catch Me if You Can around the parking lot pickle. 10 merkins before catching up with your partner who was running backward, shuffling, or karaoke;

Over to the day care for a ring of fire. 100 Peter Parker Merkins done in sequence upon the PAX count.

Continue toward BJ’s stopping for another ring of fire including squat holds/squats

At BJ’s, a final ring of fire (squat hold/ burpees)

Finish with 7 of diamonds at BJ’s (ab focused), before running back to the flag; only to stop for calf raises and merkins

Beautiful time of year with much to celebrate; Such good fortune to have health and a sound mind to join my brothers in the morning. Shout out to Bubba, who is self admittingly, looking and feeling better than he has in years.

Highland Games tomorrow; not too late to commit

Run bros did their thing and 7 HIMs did SB’25 boot camp.

With spring break on the horizon I took the lead and helped these HIMs earn extra calories in the form of future miller lights.

Started with pledge, warmups and a mile mosey. After that we never stopped moving.

Did some 7’s and stair work to get the blood flowing.

Thang 2 was the DE-motivator. 4 exercises in sequence starting at 10 ending at 1. Started with Rocky’s Dog (curb toe taps), high knees, tuck jumps, and squats. The HIMS loved this one!

After talking about how great thang 2 was we headed back to the flag. Doing 3 burpees at each light post.

Got back to the flag for two more motivators! Completed the normal motivator of SSH’s and attempted an all abs variation. We’ll get better at it!

Boot camp is back! Enjoy those beers over SB’25 fellas!

Remember Highland games and picnic in April!

MIAGD!!!

16 showed for this VQ in the blustery gloom this morning. Started out with the Mission, core principles, FNG welcome and the pledge. Mosey to the EC loop for parking lot warm up of SSH, Merkins, Hillbillies and arm circles (not sure of official name spelling). Mosey to Craft for some Dora fun..LBCs, plank jacks and Stiflers Mom. Back to the church for 4 corners…Merkins, jump squats, heels to heaven and CDDs. Comments may have suggested too much running for this VQ attempt :). Finish with a round of Mary and FNG naming. Welcome CrossHairs! Thanks for allowing me to be your fitness leader this morning!

We were joined by a father son duo. One from out of town. One from Cary. Both Gator fans. Unreal!
March madness themed workout this morning. We revisited the age old question of which Gators team is the best team of all time. Of course the 2025 Gators made this a more complicated question. PAX split into two teams (’07 and ’25) to complete feats of physical and mental strength.
Gators won!
Prayers or Flintstones family and Bubba. MIAGD
