THE THANG:

A commonly used military baseline fitness assessment, the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT), is a commonly administered challenge in events and the roster should be physically and mentally prepared.

“The APFT provides a measure of upper and lower body muscular endurance. It is a performance test that indicates a (roster’s) ability to perform physically and handle his or her own body weight. Army Physical Fitness Test standards are adjusted for age and physiological differences between the genders.” (From ArmyPRT.com)

The challenge:

– 2 Minutes: Maximum Push-Ups (Proper Form)
– 2 Minutes: Maximum Sit-Ups (Proper Form)
– 2 Mile Run (10 laps around the football field)

Did some weighted carries to and from the track.

Save your scores! We’ll do this again next year so we can see how we are doing. (Other WODs, like Murph or Cindy, are also helpful in the same way.)

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:

Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire;
he breaks out against all sound judgment.
Proverbs 18:1

Don’t listen to the lies in the dark; you’re not alone.

COT
BLUF is that I need to work on showing people more grace.
Watching Love on the Spectrum – people with autism focus on themselves more than is socially acceptable, ie they are selfish But everyone is selfish – it’s just a matter of degree.
What is normal to one person may be selfish to another
So don’t be quick to judge – show people around you grace when they don’t act the way you expect them to.

mondaynightruckers Piedmont Nature Trail

Date: 2024-02-05
AO: mondaynightruckers
Q: Stewie
PAX: Rocketman, Mincemeat, Blip, Jetstream
FNGs: None
COUNT: 5
WARMUP: nope
THE THANG:
Set out to do 4miles on the Piedmont Nature Trail. Loaded up our ruck and had a couple of 30/40lb sandbags with us. Unfortunate turn of events sent our brother Mincemeat to cut the ruck short. Mad respect for keeping a smiling face even when taking a nasty spill and hearing his bone snap like a twig. Once a Marine, always a Marine, right?

After getting Mincemeat back to his car and in the care of his M, 4 MNRs continued on and modified the route. As it turned out, we ended up totaling a little over 5 miles.

MARY: nope
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
This coming weekend…Burden run at Olympus
Mar 2…CSAUP

COT:
Excerpt from last week’s sermon is a good reminder on how to share Gods gift to us: – Look for an opportunity to talk about eternal things.
– Tell them what Jesus did for you in a loving way not condescendingly. – Give them God’s Word like John 3:16 or the Romans Road.)
– Ask them, would you like to accept Christ as their savior and Pray with them to receive Christ.

Prayers for health.
