COUNT: 11
WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Michael Phelps, cherry pickers, Willie Mayes Hayes, slow squat

THE THANG: PAX lined up at the goal line.

Bear crawl 50 yds, 50 monkey jumpers, mosey back
Bear crawl 25 yds, 25 sumo squats, mosey back
Bear crawl 10 yds, 10 burpees
Pick up the six

Then we got into it, with what the Q called name that tune until @hightower pointed out that there was no music. So it was just an F3 auction. PAX bid for the max number of burpees completed before someone could complete a crab walk to the 30 and back. Highest bid does the burpees while the rest of the pax do the crab walk. (For next time: Turns out @Wham-O is fast.) Repeat with burpees vs broad jump to 20 and back, sprint distance vs 10 burpees, and a few other challenges.

MARY: Captain Thor, snow devils

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: Bear Bryant once said, “The first time you quit it’s hard. The second time gets a little easier. The third time you hardly have to work at it.” To the QIC, this means that success doesn’t mean always winning. It means not quitting. Successful people don’t win everything. But they don’t quit. So stay with it.

COT: One of the greatest disservices we can do to ourselves is to drift through this life half-assed. Once its gone-its gone. Game Over. No Replay. So I implore you to focus on the moment. Live every day as if it were your last. And squeeze every drop of juice out of this lemon. When you work, work hard. When you play, play hard. Make things happen.

COT: High impact men impact their community. If we see problems, we don’t run, hide, or ignore. We step in in whatever way God calls us.
Relate to the Israelites in Babylon with a problematic culture. Here’s what God told them to do:

5 Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. 6 Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. 7 But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare. Jeremiah 29:5-7

Let’s be high IMPACT men wherever we’ve been placed! Aye!
