Be Grateful

I wanted to introduce Gridiron to different exercises that I had done in Charlotte but had not seen here yet. (Mike Tysons, Get-ups, 100-yard run and belly touch (disguised Burpees))

In the parking lot:
20 SSH, 10 Man-maker Merkins, 15 Knee-ups and a stretching exercise.
To the goal line of the football field:
20 IWs, 10 Diamond Merkins, 15 American Hammers and a stretching exercise
To the 50-yard line of the football field:
20 Russian Soldiers, 15 Crunchy Frogs, 10 Stagger arm Merkins and a stretching exercise
To the other goal line of the football field:
20 Don Quixotes, 15 Heels to Heaven, 10 Stagger arm Merkins and a stretching exercise
Run the length of the football field 3 times: Belly Touch every ten yards (disguised Burpee) with Handshake leading the way.
On hill leading up to the Football field:
11s with Get-ups and Merkins: I think Tater finished first.
On the stadium benches:
10 Dips in cadence, 10 Derkins in cadence; 8 Dips, 8 Derkins, etc.
Using the wall around the building at the 50-yard line:
People’s Chair 15 Air Press, 10 BTTW Hip Slaps, 15 Donkey Kix OYO
People’s Chair 15 Muhammad Ali, 10 BTTW Australian Mountain Climbers, 15 Donkey Kix OYO
People’s Chair 15 Milkers, 10 BTTW Toe Taps, 15 Donkey Kix OYO
On the hill by the parking lot:
11s with Mike Tyson and Squats
To the football field between the 10 and 30-yard lines: partner up (partner 1 on the 10-yard line and partner 2 on the 30-yard line), bear crawl to the middle, 10 hand slap Merkins, backwards run to the 10 or 30. 3 times
On the football field: a couple of minutes of Mary
To the parking lot for a couple of minutes of stretching

I had not really thought about today being 9/11 when I signed up about 3 weeks ago to Q. Reading some of the commentary on the 20th anniversary of that awful day: some survived because of decisions made, maybe on a good hunch, to leave the building. Other less fortunate didn’t for no good reason; call it ‘bad luck’ if you will.

The next minute is not guaranteed to you. Be grateful for it. And be a blessing to those you come in contact with, today and every day that follows. That contact you make may be your last contact with them. Be a true reflection of your faith so that others may see God thru you.

Announcements:
There will be a Blood Drive. It will likely be December 19, a Sunday. Please contribute!
Next week, we will have a Gridiron workout but there is also a field day at Dog Pile(?)
