Introduction
The fartsack grim reaper was working overtime this morning, but what better way to celebrate that victory than with a refreshing jog, sprint, burpee, merkin, plank, bear crawl, crab walk, fence hop around the park on a nice crisp May morning.
Warm-O-Rama
Mosey to the back parking lot, then circled up for a quick warm-up.

Quick and to the point then we moseyed to the field house for The Thang.
The Thang
Started the morning off with another homage to our Cherokee brothers. Little 5 points of West Cobb. PAX had to run to end of each of the 5 paths in between the softball fields. Once at at the end of the path PAX would complete 20 Merkins. Run back to the field house and complete 20 fence hops. Rinse and repeat until you’ve hit all 5 points. Some early finishers of the PAX picked up the six, others held a low plank until everyone was accounted for. On to the next one.
Short mosey to the left field foul pole of one of the softball diamonds. Counted off for a friendly competition of odds vs evens. YHC instructed PAX that we would be sprinting from foul pole to foul pole. Round 1 – the winning PAX member’s team got the pleasure of performing squats while the losing team had to bang out 10 burpees. Round 2 – the last place PAX member’s team had the unfortunate task of completing 10 more burpees while the other team performed squats until everyone completed. After grumblings of pulled hammies and hints of possible merlot YHC dialed it back a little. Round 3 – PAX ran another pole at an uptempo jog. Once to the other flag pole everyone completed 10 burpees. On to the next one.
A lot of running thus far, based off the grumblechatter I thought we needed to slow it down, what better way than to have the PAX bear crawl from the infield to the outfield fence then crab walk back. Picked up the six, then moseyed to the flag for 6MOM (more like 8MOM but who’s counting).
Nice work fellas, you guys crushed it!
Circle of Trust
Count off, and Name-a-rama. YHC spoke to the PAX about where his head was at (wasn’t on this Q unfortunately) after a less than stellar weekend. Spoke about intentionality, and leading, and being selfless. These are the areas of my life that I’m trying to grow in and challenged the PAX to do the same.
I like Drafty’s story he told the group this AM. To briefly summarize: The enemy wants you to think you’re bad at what you’re doing, in all likelihood you’re just having a bad/off day. Don’t let enemy use that to get a stronghold in your life.
Naked Man Moleskin
I enjoyed the Q this morning fellas. You guys crushed it! I think we will eventually see the inaugural merlot, unfortunately today was not the day. BA Out!
