17 PAX posted in 40 degree weather and an annoying mist for a workout honoring the memory of my brother Sam Sinclair, who passed away 7 years ago today. If he were still with us, he’d be 38 today. Thus, all exercises would be 38 reps, or two sets of 19 depending on the difficulty of called exercise.
PAX: D’Mish, Edible Arrangement, PSL, Offshore, Floppy Disk, Old Hickory, Black Widow, Accounts Receivable, Bootleggers, Lumbergh, Movin’ On Up, Sterno, Riefer, Big Stick, Prevac, Bagger Vance, Ludwig van Oshkosh (QIC)

Run the Capri Lap and circle back up for:
Single Leg Squats – 19 each leg
Jump Lunges – 1 1, 2 2, etc. all the way to 19 (Did anyone want to go all the way to 38 in one set? Didn’t think so)
38 LBCs in cadence to give the legs a breather before hitting them again.
Set 2 – Single Leg Squats – 19 each leg (now we’re at 38)
Set 2 – Jump Lunges – 1 1, 2 2, etc. all the way to 19
Now that it’s hard to walk, let’s mosey the baseball loop, pick up a coupon at the shed and head to the pavilion.

10 Good Mornings
2 Cherry Pickers
Good work today. For those who weren’t there, Sam was a healthy 31-year-old when he was diagnosed with leukemia, and passed away from a brain bleed just two days later. Certainly the first couple of anniversaries of his passing were difficult, but the last few years have transitioned more into joy thinking about the good times I had with him and my family.
Sam was the extrovert of all extroverts, and was highly involved as a YoungLife leader in the Houston area. To briefly brag on his impact, so many donations came in from people that were influenced by him in Houston that my family setup a scholarship fund to send two Houston area kids to YoungLife camp in the summer for free. (a HIM if I ever knew one) The last I heard, the fund would last at least twenty years. One of the two kids awarded a scholarship the first summer after Sam died became a Christ follower at Young Life camp that year. While we lost Sam, another life was gained.
Thanks for reading a little bit of my testimony. May we all strive to be better HIM and influence and lead others for their good.
