10 elites and 2 almost homeless showed up this morning.  It was chilly but the good kind.

Mosey to bridge and 40 dips OYO

Mosey on up to the college of health sciences parking lot to warm it on up.

20 SSH

Arm Circles

Runners stretch

Right leg / Left leg ham stretch

At the front edge of parking lot, everybody Partner up:

Partner 1 runs quartet way up the parking lot and back, then half length of parking lot and back

Partner 2 does exercise till partner gets back and they switch.  After every 3rd exercise both partners do 5 burpees

Exercises Completed in order:

Regular Merkins, Reverse crunches, Mtn Climbers

Walk out Merks, Freddie Mercs, Squats

Carolina Dry Docks, Low flutter, Lunges

Wide Merks, Crunchy Frogs, Star Jumps

Then we all circled up for a Circle Merk.  Starting with 5 regular, then 5 Diamond, then 5 wide.  It hurt by the end.

Back to Mary.  No time for anything serious.

2.5+ miles for me covered.  This workout went by lightning fast for me.  May be the excitement of seeing DeerTick show up.  We all love it.  Basic design somewhat a mix of something that Sir Topham did in Kannon recently and a normal workout of mine.  Lots of chest, some core and some leg stuff with running mixed in.  I warmed up pretty quick.

There’s a parable/story in the Bible about sowing some seeds in different types of soil and what happens to those seeds as they germinate.  Some gets blown onto a hard rocky path, some in some really dry ground, some in a decent spot so it grows but gets eventually choked out by vines and thorns and then some falls on good soil and the seed does what it was designed to do.  I think we all think of ourselves as the seed that fell in good soil.  In so many ways as Americans and as blessed as we all are it’s easy to believe that.  I’m most likely the seed that started to grow and got choked out though.  I get distracted by so many things.  Lots of things in this life vying for our attention and keeping our minds focused on stuff that probably no one will care about anyway.  Really means I miss out on some of Gods greatest gifts for me.  I am really trying to build in some quiet times in my life and trying to limit some of the distractions.  Join me.  It’s quiet sometimes over here.  Quiet in a good way.  LMU Out.
