Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

10 PAX in attendance:

Tebow (welcome back!), Numbtucks, 3rd Degree, Creeper, Show Me, Ragdoll, Soccer Mom, Hushpuppy, Nimbus 2000, Barney Fievel (Q).

Warm-up:

One lap around the track (.3 mile), 20 SSH in cadence, 30 seconds WMH, and 30 seconds LBAC.

Chasing John Cusack:

Mosey to Barney’s truck and grab a coupon (20 lbs). Partner up. One partner runs on the track with the coupon above his head. Think John Cusack with the boombox in “Say Anything”. The other partner does 10 burpees, runs after partner, and “relieves” him of the coupon. The PAX with the coupon continues around the track while the “relieved” PAX does 10 burpees. Repeat for 15 WWI’s, 20 merkins, and 25 deep squats.

DDoD: Discounted Deck of Death:

Everyone pick up a coupon and mosey back to the parking lot. Deck of Death with deck of cards, but add the coupon.

Going in a circle, each PAX draws a card from the deck that corresponds to an exercise and number of reps. Spades = blockees (coupon burpees), Clubs = deep squats, Hearts = merkins, Diamonds = American hammers.

CoT:

Philippians 2:3 – Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather in humility, value others above yourselves.

Very Short Warmup

Pass the Merlot

8 PAX including 1 FNG: NumbTucks, 3rd Degree, Barney Fievel, Creeper, Show Me, Hush Puppy, Itsy Bitsy Spider (FNG), and Netflix.

Birds were chirping, dew was glistening, and everything was right with the world. This stillness was shattered by the Trumpets of War as Barney Fievel declared everyone was about to puke (unless they needed to modify the workout) via a simple, but dastardly workout routine he dubbed, Pass the Merlot.

Warmup: 20 Side Straddle Hops, 10 Willie Mays Hays, 1 Al Gore

Routine: Partner up. One partner takes a lap (.3 mile) while other partner does AMRAP Burpees, switch when partner completes lap. Rinse and repeat for Merkins, WWIs, Dips, Squats, and Planks.
