Mountains, Pyramids and Gratitude

COP: Arm Circles, Cherry Pickers, DQs, SSHs, Mt. Climbers, WWIIs & Merkins.

The Thang:
Burpee Back Mountain – I wanted to pay homage to DTH with this one. Without his push, I would have never stepped up to Q. I’m grateful for that push to step outside of my comfort zone. And the time he did Burpee Back Mountain, after I laughed at the name, I thought it sounded impossible (another push for growth). It’s a Dora of 100 Burpees. P1 does those while P2 runs up and down the amphitheater.

To get out of the amphitheater, at each level, we did 3 dips, box jumped to the next level and 3 LBCs. Somewhere in there Handshake taught us that where a Turkey is cooked determines if a man or a woman made it (grill vs. oven).

Coupon Pyramids –
We formed 3 teams. Each team needed to assemble a 10 coupon pyramid in 3 places: in the base of the Valley of Ill Repute, at the Rusty Cage, and at the Penny Stage. Oyster showed us how to adroitly carry two coupons at once. In the midst of this exercise, Winehouse, out of nowhere, slid (tripped) across the ground in the Superman position, making a grand entrance after being gone for about a year. Welcome back Winehouse!

4X4 Run – We partnered up. P1 ran around The triangle. Meanwhile, P2 did 4X4s (4 single count lunges followed by 4 Merkins). Switch duties. Rinse and repeat 3 times.

BTTF
COT: numbers, names, announcements (Hitch expressed his gratitude for F3), prayer requests, prayer.

Moleskin: It’s always a blessing to be well enough (we missed you Up Chuck, heal up fast) to get outside, run around a bit, watch the sun come up, connect with buddies and pray. Let’s all work to focus on all that we have, even beyond this holiday week. We are so fortunate.
