CIRCLE OF TRUST: Invest deliberately in your roots and the roots of those around you.  Where, when, and who you invest your time and energy in matters! The invisible strength, hidden underneath the ground that supports PAX through difficult times are grown in the dark, through hard work, over long periods of time. Grow your roots wisely and grow them deep, and you will survive any climate, and any storm!

Jeremiah 17:7-8 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust in the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when the heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and it not anxious in the year of the drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit”

The Thang:

Pax assembled on the Field of Dreams for some exercises to build their bodies for baseball. Pacer was a runner going around the bases and then rotating around the field, 3rd base coach, bench and on deck positions.

Runner exercises: 1st at bat were overhead block carry around the bases, 2nd at bat was bear crawl around the bases. YHC should have looked up the dimensions for an adult diamond as the bear crawl wound up be 120 yards. Whoof. YHC also attempted a break with a 7th inning stretch rendition of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” between the first and second at bat. Seeing that effort falling on it’s face, he moved on to the dreadful bear crawl around the bases.

The remaining pax rotated positions as the runner completed his base run and did AMRAPs of the following exercises.

C-Squat Thrusters to work on getting low to catch the ball

P-Side Lunge to help with the wind up

3rd-Stationary Inch Worms to practice diving for those grounders

SS—Dead Stops Block Bells to work on those scoops

2nd—Curls to build biceps to pitch the ball for the 2-3-1 double play

1st—Front Lunges to stretch out for that throw

RF-Reverse Burpees. Since RF has nothing to do most of the time. This helps to work from getting up off the ground onto your feet.

CF-Backward Run to Fence and jump to touch top to rob the batter of that homer.

LF—Tricep Extensions for the long throw to cutoff to second

3rd Base Coach—Signal Taps to guide the runner

Dug Out (Work your way down the list until you are on deck)

Butt to Bench Squats

Al Gore

Diamond Merkins

Atlas Shoulders

Mountain Climbers

Bench Step Up

Bent Over Rows

On Deck—Around the world

After a rousing time, game was over and pax moseyed back for some mary.

Mary: Freddie Mercurys, Flutter Kicks, Pike Ups

COT: “If my uniform doesn’t get dirty, I haven’t done anything in the baseball game.” – Rickey Henderson. If you’re not engaged, if your not getting dirty and knocked around from whatever you are doing , then you are standing on the sidelines. Get engaged with your family, your work, etc. and get in the game.
