COT: Back to school time is both exciting and ridden with anxiety. Not just for your 2.0! All of the feelings are valid, for both parent and child. Remember those kids will pick up on your emotions and reactions. So try to stay positive where you can. Don’t shy away from seeking advice and encouraging your children to seek advice as well. Finally, seek outlets for any pent up stress (good start with F3!).

THE THANG:
A deck of 52 cards were split, with 1/4 at each corner of the soccer field. PAX jogged the sideline between corners and did a variety of movements between corners on the goals lines (Bear Crawls, Crawl Bears, Lunge Walks, Backwards Run, Karaoke’s, Duck Walks, Skip). At each corner a PAX drew two cards, the first identifying the exercise (Spades= Burpees, Clubs=Big Boy Sit-ups, Diamonds=Merkins, Hearts=Body Weight Squats) and the second card indicating the number (Ace’s=14). PAX completed multiple rounds around the field.

MARY:
LBC

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
9/11 stair run

COT:
We reflected on Prophet Elisha’s power and legacy, as evidenced in the 2 Kings 13:20. How his bones brought to life a man who had died. We talked about legacy and shared what words of life & wisdom had been said to us that we carry with us. Before heading out of the house as a teen, my father would tell me, “Remember who you are and where you came from,” as an encouragement to be rooted in the things handed down to me and the ethic taught. Each PAX shared something that they said or was said to them. Ended in prayer.

Senior Sunrise Serenade

AO: lost-boys
Q: Monk
PAX: Hightower, Obadiah, Peanuts, Doodles
FNGs: None
COUNT: 5
There were two ladies already in the parking lot when the PAX arrived at the new yet-to-be-officially named AO at Woodson HS. They kindly informed us that we should not take food on the field, which of course we had no intention of doing. Turns out this morning was senior sunrise at Woodson HS. We headed up to the field and started the warmup. Then Peanuts arrived. Then we continued the warmup:

windmills, imperial, walkers, hillbillies, arm circles, Michael Phelps, SSH, cotton pickers, Fellowship lap

Then the PAX enjoyed performing the following while the HS seniors stood in awe at these men who in all respects looked very much like their dads:

Bojangles Blueberry Biscuit Sprint straights and mosey corners, with 10 blueberries (burpees) in the middle of each corner.

Railroad Tracks: PAX lined up four yards apart in the low plank position. The end PAX jumped over first pax runs 4 yards and got in low plank. Next pax jumped over pax runs 5 yards and got in low plank. This continued for 100 yards; rest; same exercise back to start.

Mucho Leg-o: 1) Narrow squat (feet together), 2) regular-stance squat, 3) wide squat, 4) bonnie blair (jumping lunge) with left foot forward, 5) bonnie blair with right foot forward (then back to narrow stance).

Announcements: second, F glory days this Thursday. 911 stair climb.

COT: give people a fail-able, doable challenge.
