The PAX performed three more rounds of Gleemakers and suicides at 75% speed. The first of these featured Merkins, Squats and Freddie Mercuries at the 6-, 18- and 50-yard lines with Bear Crawls back and a full field run. The next included Diamond Merkins, Bonnie Blairs and LBCs with Walking Lunges back and a full field run. The last included Typewriter Knerkins, Dirty Mules and Gas Pumpers with Frankensteins back and a full field run.

Mary: Penguin Crunches, Australian Plank Jacks, James Bonds, WWIIs and Jackknives.

COT: From James Beard Award-winning BBQ pitmaster Rodney Scott: "Every day is a good day." Indeed.

Genesis 50: 19 – 20: (MSG) Joseph replied, “Don’t be afraid. Do I act for God? Don’t you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now—life for many people. In a time of division, fear, apathy, uncertainty and now tragedy…its amazing (and moving) to see people from all walks of life stop for just a moment (with all the craziness) and remember this kind-hearted soul who put himself in harms way for others paying the ultimate sacrifice.

  • Words of Wisdom: Integrity – at least two PAX have posted every workout since we soft launched on Sept 26. Integrity is honoring your word and doing what you say you’re going to when you say you’re going to do it. Like a single loose spoke in a bicycle wheel ends up making a wheel roll wobbly, so to with not keeping our word. Rain or shine, sleet or snow – AO will have a workout as we head toward colder, more inhospitable weather.
