The Thang

Count off 1s and 2s. 1s partner up with the 2 to your left

P1 doing merkins at top of parking lot

P2 sprint to other end of parking lot, 10 squats, bear crawl halfway back, sprint the rest of the way

Flapjack until you reach 500 merkins together. Pick up reps for your brothers when finished.

Line up across parking lot. Sprint through two parking spaces then jump across one space. This resembled auditions for the Nutcracker, but was a #CrowdPleaser nonetheless.

• Editor’s note: Papa Smurf sounded excellent on cadence, but upon closer inspection, he was calling the cadence and lying flat on his back not moving. Luckily, a doc was on hand to confirm Papa Smurf was not dead, but that his own Q had left him utterly smoked.

Short (editor’s note: short is a relative term. Fabio has details.) devo on being lukewarm.

DONT BE LUKEWARM!!! “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ (‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭21-23‬ NIV) So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. (‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ NIV)
