Qualified
It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God. (NLT) ( 2 Corinthians 3:5 )

We often rely on our own ability to “perform well” to make things happen in our lives.  We all are tempted to be self-sufficient; not looking to God or others to provide for our needs. God is in charge of every detail of our lives!  We are not qualified on our own and every blessing we have is from him.  Pray and ask God for His help and guidance for your life.

Bedrock. Saturday, April 10. The one-armed man led a musically-accompanied workout, giving the PAX free reign to choose their own exercises if desired. Since I was fairly confined to core and lower body I wanted others to have the option of mixing in some upper body.

Moleskin:   I’ve always enjoyed The Jones.  I used to do a crazy thing called the Bedrock-Jones double down or the BJDD.  However, start times are the same now which makes that impossible.  Good workout and conversations with Nacho Libre this morning.  We discussed how The Jones has fallen in numbers.  PAX have come and gone for various reasons.  Hopefully some changes are on the horizon to get turnout back up.  Stringbean was out of town.  So I didn’t have to… I mean get to work out with him!

Nine Times + dad jokes = P200 afterburn

  • QIC: Peaches
  • The PAX: Fish-n-Chips, Swinger, Waldo, Mayhem (Respect), Sakrete, Easy-In, Chum, Snips, and YHC

PAX: Fish-n-Chips, Swinger, Waldo, Mayhem (Respect), Sakrete, Easy-In, Chum, Snips, and YHC

The weather was rather muggy with temperatures in the low 60s.
Warm-up consisted of leg stretches (TTT & Don Q) followed by a mosey to the front entrance of the park.
Once at the entrance, an additional warm up with baby arm circles and chest stretches was done.
The thang was a nine times routine. This was a run around the front noisy parking lot, with stops at each end for Merkins at one end, and core exercises at the other. (Like a looping string-of-pearls)
Merkins: 20 × 9 times = 180. Core exercises was 20×9 = 180. I did not want to leave the PAX short, so we did an additional 20 of each to make an even 200 Merkins +200 core.

Moleskine. Mumble chatter was through the roof at Bedrock. YHC requested everyone to tell a dumb dad joke. This opened the can of worms, especially with Fish & Chips in the crowd, for a lot of frivolity and laughter. Control was difficult but the men pushed forward and completed every task perfectly.

Devo: James chapter 2 verse 14 & 15 Faith without works – faith alone is not enough

PAX: Sakrete, Placebo, Motherboard, Mugsy, Three’s Company, Repo, Cheetah, Wakdo, Easy-In,& Mayhem & YHC.
Weather was perfect with temperatures in the 50s and a bright clear morning.

Warm up began with TTT, a leg length stretch, SSH, BACs & Don Qs.
The Thang was broken down into several parts. The first involved heavy lifting with blocks. A variety of standard exercises. One included a block weighted sit-up routine with hammer situps and sledgehammer.
The next part was running with a competition race between odd and even numbered men. We then Indian ran to the front of the park.
Once at the park entrance, we did back-&-forth incline Merkins and wall dips. We also did 10 cadence Burpees. Mosey ran back to the blocks where we set up a Merkin conveyor belt.
In order to stretch time, we did a few rinse & repeat exercises before doing Mary. The Mary involved situps, flutter kicks, and the protractor before time was called.

Moleskine, the PAX was fairly quiet with limited mumble chatter, however some camaraderie was built with select jabs.

The Devo came from II Timothy 4:3. It talks about people not putting up with sound doctrine and falling into a trap of teachers who tell them just what they want to hear. I emplored the PAX to discern sound teaching to avoid the slippery slope.

The Run Around

  • When: 20210314
  • QIC: Schrute
  • The PAX: City Slicker, Sakrete, Pony, What?!, Grasshopper, High Stick, YHC


2021-03-14 by Schrute Leave a Comment

f3 facebookWeather: prefect running condition. Low 50s. Hint of drizzle but stopped.

warm up: some chatter and stretching before start.

 

the Thang: City was out for an appearance. Pony abs What?! Rucked 3 miles. High Stick put in a solid 5K and Sakrete, City, and YHC ran a 5 mile bridge run and back. Grasshopper came out for some fellowship too. It was like the old days of the Creamer with coffeeteria and chatter. Pony, Sakrete and What?! Really added to the dynamic of ball busting and commentary.

COT: you forget how things have changed from a year ago. Not a lot to train for or numbers for attendance since COVID changed it all.

the standard was held minus the flags. Schrute will pay dearly for that at a future AO.
