14 people showed up knowing they were going to carry cinder blocks. Tombstone showed up in a body van of sorts

Warm Up

Took a warm up lap around the garden, or whatever that is. Did some counted stretches and a small free stretch. Grabbed some cinder blocks and moved over to The Shu™️.

The Thang:

HYROX style workout with a partner plus a cinderblock. 200 meters of Lunges, run. 400 meters of Farmers carry, run. 200 meters of burpee broad jumps, run. 50 cinder blocks squats.

Mayweather tried to take over my workout mid way by choosing his own distance. Will provide clearer direction for the smaller minds next time.

Was accused of being a “Grover” because I said we had to do burpees.

Brickyard reminisced about his turkey shoot with his boy.

Look Me Up was a solid teammate.

Post Game

Prayed for Cat and Deb, Katniss and Taylor, Jim Stowe’s passing and praised his legacy, and prayers that Popeye’s mom continues to improve.

MOLESKIN

I like things that have double meanings, sometimes triple. I called today’s workout ‘The Shu™️” mostly because it rhymes with ‘U’ which is the route we took in the parking lot. Also sheep have what’s called a cloven hoove with a U shaped separation. It is also phonetically the same as ‘you,’ which is an excellent Segway to the main point.

“You” are all part of the lords flock – his sheep. It’s our responsibility to remain within his flock, but we’ve also been tasked to find his lost sheep.

“I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.”

All this to say I’ve enjoyed joining you all over the past months. I’d encourage you to keep asking people to come, because maybe for one person, a community is what is missing in their life. I’m glad tombstone kept asking…
