MOLESKINE:
It was an honor to impromptQ! TBH maybe even better than being scheduled since there was no chance to spend too much time planning, which is good for me. The PAX were generally mumbly in a way that effectively made up for the lack of a speaker. Good chatter and effort by all.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Check Slack!

COT:
Prayers for Pep’s job. Also, from YHC, I shared that it can be easy to make our problems the problems of those around us with our attitude. We can be sharp, short, or hurtful based on what we’re going through. That’s only human, but the reminder and encouragement is that we’re not promised any number of days with our people, and we should take each opportunity we’re given to appreciate what our people mean to us. Problems come and go, but the people in our lives will last longer and mean much more in the end. Think I said it better in person but that’s the gist.

As always, it was an honor to lead! Glad folks enjoyed the coffee – it was another FIL roast, which is always one of a kind! (Ethiopia, natural processed, Guji region, medium-light roast :coffee:)

SYITG next time!

FNGs: None
COUNT: 17
CONDITIONS: Slightly overcast and 56 degrees. :pinched_fingers:

WARMUP: Black Lung kicked us off, acknowledging that none leading were proffessionals. A quick ~100 yard mosey got our heart rates up and Diego took over warming us up with some lunges, ab warmups and leg warmups. Black Lung finished up the warmup with some classic BAC, BBAC, and low, slow merkins.

THE THANG:
With our limbs now limbered, Derby took the helm, leading us in some fantastic EMOM’s. exercises were as follows
– 10 burpees, 5 sets
– 20-30 WW2’s, 5 sets
– 20-30 Squats, 5 sets
– Simon Says 5 minutes. Simon called out exercises. If PAX exercised when Simon didn’t say, PAX would perform 1 burpee for the first infraction, 2 for the second, 3 for the third to buy back in.

Now having worked up a good sweat, YHC led in some games:
– bear tag battle royale (3 rounds)
– Infection (3 rounds)
– Dad bear crawl assault. (2.0’s harassed dads as they attempted to bear crawl up the hill toward the goal.)

MOLESKINE:
Nothing better about being a dad than doing stuff with your kids! We took a moment to reflect on that and enjoy our time together

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Tussle coming up. Briefly considered the idea of a 2.0 Tussle.

COT:
Prayers were lifted. SixSeven offered a spontaneous prayer of gratitude for the unexpected blessing of chocolate milk! Enjoyed some fellowship over donut holes courtesy of Grape, bagels from Black Lung, coffee from Derby, and bananas & chocolate milk from YHC.

T-claps to Grape for getting this on the calendar, Derby and Black Lung for CoQing, and Diego for a great warmup!
