The Q was worried there might be rain today. Our backup plan was to do all the same stuff, but in the rain. So I think it was a win. He was also hoping to take advantage of the daylight we’re getting now, that goes away for a little while after the time change this weekend. So the plan was to pay up front for a little fun later. If you believe the mumblechatter – and you should never believe mumblechatter – there was some skepticism that the fun part was going to come. But the PAX gutted it out, and we played some games.

WARMUP: SSH, imperial walkers, hillbillies, michael phelps) cherry pickers, willie mays hayes (aka michael phelps), Moroccan night clubs, down dog.

THE THANG:
Leg Bearchetta.
The PAX line up on the end line and bear crawl 100 yards. It was a soccer field, which is measured in “metric yards” according to Legacy. So we went 100 metric yards, to the other end. Then 100 calf raises, then mosey back. Then bear crawl 75 yards, do 75 body weight squats, mosey back. Bear crawl 50, do 50 lunges (easy count), mosey back.
Bear crawl 25, do 25 Bobby Hurley’s, mosey back.
Bear crawl 10, do 10 Bonnie Blairs (hard count), mosey back.

Part 2: F3 Ultimate. You know the rules. Team 2 made an amazing comeback, winning the “next score for all the marbles” goal.

MARY: flutter kicks, American hammers

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Ruck coming up – see the channel

COT: “The first time you quit, it’s hard. The second time, it gets easier. The third time, you don’t even have to think about it.” Paul “Bear” Bryant
This sounds a whole lot like fart sacking. So kudos to the PAX who continue to get up and get to it in the morning. Momentum is real. The Q encouraged the PAX to apply this to other parts of their lives – for example connecting with old friends. Getting out of touch has momentum, too, and takes a little extra effort to get back into the work.

AO: Sparta
Q: Doodles
PAX: Zeus, Bluegrass, Gadget, Lightyear, K-Pop, Monk
FNGs: None
COUNT: 7
WARMUP: SSH, Arm Circles, MH, Cherry Pickers, Down Dog, World’s Greatest Stretch, Child’s pose, Hip Flexors and full lap mosey.
THE THANG: A version of Kickball – Divided into 2 teams. Team on field – Must all carry coupons every where they go. Elect pitcher and can replace him as needed. Before each pitch all PAX do 1 Burpee. Team at bat – Batter kicks ball and after 1 burpee Bear Crawl’s to first base, Crab crawl to second base, Plank walk to third base, Bear Crawl to home. On-Deck Pax does curls until turn, In-the-hole does Alternating Merkins on block, bench warmer does overhead press. All PAX do 1 Burpee at each pitch.
Rules: Play ends once ball is placed on pitchers cone. Any basecrawler is out when ball is placed on cone before crawler has reached base of destination. If he elects to take base and does not make it there before other team places ball on cone then out. Some Pax elected to touch base if close enough and this was allowed.
Rule #1 – 5 run mercy rule for each inning results in three 50 yard sprints for the defense team while other team mosey – Rule never had to be used.
Rule #2 – Arguing with Umpire results in 10 Blockees – Rule never had to be used. Only a few close plays which instant replay in Q’s mind revealed the actual result.
Lost track of final score but I think team 2 won but ran out of time for team 1 (Home team) to get final at bat but no one complained.
MARY: Flutter kicks, Iron Crosses, LBCs, one more exercise the Q can’t remember at the moment. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Grow Ruck, Dad’s camp.
COT: Q was reflecting on Saturn so close to earth in night sky recently which lead to thinking about the galaxy and the galaxy beyond the galaxy and the infinite number of galaxies leads to understanding eternity. Even though difficult for the modern mind to comprehend, eternity is not that hard to consider. If we really think about it, we all believe in eternity. Take a moment to think about our place in time, space and in all eternity today despite all that might being going in our daily lives. And prayed.
