8 Pax decided that it had been too long since they’ve had some quality time with Fury Road and showed up to be reacquainted with her.
Conditions: 37 Degrees. Or somewhere around there. Bottom line was it was a little cool to start out with. 5 minutes later you couldn’t tell it.
Disclaimer: This was given out as we were heading to the Coupon stack.
Warm Up:
- Pax 1 gives max effort on the Pull Up Bar. While he’s doing that the remaining Pax max out on the exercise Pax 1 calls for the Pax to do. All 8 Pax get an opportunity to do Pull-Ups and call out an exercise. Exercises consisted of Berp n Merks, Baby Blu V-Planks with Coupon, Monkey Humpers, Al Gores, Flutter Kicks, Block Merkins, Dips using coupons, ,and Rapid S.S.H.
- Pax 1 gives max effort on the Dip Bars. While he’s doing that the remaining Pax max out on the exercise Pax 1 calls for the Pax to do. All 8 Pax get an opportunity to do Dips and call out an exercise. Exercises consisted of LBC’s, Block Merkins, Overhead Claps, LBAC’s, Reverse LBC’s, Man Makers, Bonnie Blair’s, and V-Up’s
The Reacquainting:
Round 1: Take coupon and mosey to the first entrance of Merrywood for a set of Eleven’s
- 1 Kettle Bell Swing, Run to lower entrance of Merrywood, 10 Reverse LBC’s, and run back to top entrance
- 2 Kettle Bell Swings, Run to lower entrance of Merrywood, 9 Reverse LBC’s and run back to top entrance
Round 2: Take coupon and mosey to the stop sign at the bottom of Fury Road for another set of Eleven’s
- 1 Man Maker, Run up to lower entrance of Merrywood, 10 LBC’s, and run back down to bottom of Fury Road
- Rinse and Repeat, Adding 1 rep to Man Makers and subtracting 1 rep from LBC’s, until you perform 10 Man Makers and 1 LBC
- Due to time constraints we had to call this half way through. So we completed a set of 11 Man Makers
Round 3: Mule Run up Fury Road to return Coupons to their resting place
Devo:
Read Mark 8:35 – “Only those who give away their lives for my sake and for the sake of the Gospel will ever know what it means to really live.”
YHC feels this is the basis of living “I am 3rd”. Too often in life we muddle through, never truly being satisfied. We buy a new “toy” and a week later we want something else. We try something new and it gets old. We find ourselves constantly searching for a way to satisfy our wants. YHC feels the Bible verse above tells us, that the only true way to be satisfied or live life the way God meant for us to do, is put our selves 3rd. We should live for God first, seeking his Will and trying to live his Will in the best way we can. We should live for our family and friends second, searching for ways to serve them by putting their needs ahead of our own. Then after all that we should put ourselves third. And in more instances than not, we’ll find that living in this manner, will give us that satisfaction that we have failed to find through self service and collecting material things of world.
Announcements were made: We have many, refer to news letter
Prayer Requests were taken
- Fabio’s surgery today
- All the Pax who have family member’s suffering through cancer or any other ailments
- All the Pax who are suffering through injuries
- All the unspoken requests. God knows our hearts and our needs. Pray he intervenes where he sees fit to.
N. M. M.
- #TClaps to Fabio for posting on the day of his surgery!
- Apparently Spud is multilingual and speaks couponease, because when it was his turn to call out a warm up exercise, he turned to look at his coupon for what seemed to be an uncomfortable amount of time, gave a head nod, and called out Al Gores.
- It’s a universal consensus that the dip bars are spread too far apart, so if someone can contact District 50 to have them reset, we would greatly appreciate it.
- YHC called for a mule run versus the previously practiced Indian Run and it turned into a stubborn event where some of our legs decided to refuse to do as they were instructed. The line began to spread and the work horses continued on at a worthy pace while the true mules (YHC being one of them) spent as much time on Fury Road as time would allow.
- Quality time on Fury Road always comes to a conclusion with a fiery explosion of burn through out the legs. But she’s always worth coming back to.
As always its an honor to lead this great group of men. Until the next Q…
