EARLY BIRDS: 11’s Merkins and Bear Complex
WARMUP: BACs, BACBACs, WMH, Runners Stretch, PE Stretch

THE THANG: Partnered up for Sand Bag Mosey around Bellevue incorporating various exercises with 1 rule… The bags cannot touch the ground or entire PAX is penalized w/ 5 SB Burpees (I believe we had 5 penalties).
Mosey consisted of Multiple Stops incorporating Bench Dips, Decline Merkins, Burpee Broad Jumps, Pull-Ups, SB Lunges, etc. with partners transferring weight for each partner to get in their reps.
We also had a stock exercise of 10 SB Rows, 10 SB Curls and 10 SB Thrusters that was called out throughout the beatdown.
MOLESKINE: Shared recent thoughts on perspective of time. With another child on the way I’ve fallen into the trap of how do I continue to make time for myself to continue to do things I love and enjoy. With a nice dose of awareness, I’m working on a perspective flip to look for more ways to support and be present for my family and their needs and with that trusting time will work itself out.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Merkin Madness, Holy Smokers, Check Slack for many other exciting things going on in the community.
COT: Prayers for contentment and deeper understanding of purpose
PLAYLIST: Roadkill’s commentary throughout the beatdown :joy:
Appreciated the opportunity to lead this morning! Had an excellent time bouncing around Bellevue with you guys!
