THE THANG: Back 2 School!!! :books::school_satchel:
Start with an Indian run “school bus” around the park loop. Every time the rotation completes the stop sign comes out and the PAX have to give 10 Prisoner Squats. After all, schools are basically prisons.
Back at Startex, PAX worked on their CORE subjects. PAX split into 3 groups, post up at each station with 1 group running around the parking lot loop 2x as a timer. The other groups split up and go to 1 of the first 2 stations, performing an exercise until the runners return. Switch to rotate through stations 3 & 4, then repeat the whole set.
(1) English
– “Apart” vs “a part”
– Hello Dollys, spread those legs “apart”
(2) Math
– Ratios, multiplication
– Captain Thors 1:4 ratio of Big Boy Sit-ups to American Hammers, ascending (e.g. 2:8, 3:12, 4:16, 5:20…)
(3) Science
– Inertia
– J-Lo’s, it takes force to stop movement in a given direction
(4) History
– First public school in the country predates the country’s founding, Boston Latin School founded in 1635
– 1 Clerkin, 6 Supermans, 3 Peter Parkers, 5 Mountain Climbers
Stopping movement and some form lapses were observed by the Q, even perpetrated by the Q. All PAX serve a class detention. Complete 15 burpees to buy in. Then, SSH in silence to get out of detention, otherwise more burpees, repeat til successful.
Dealer’s choice til time!
MOLESKINE: The minds were sharp this fine morning! PAX completed 2 full sets of all stations, i.e. 2 full school days. Impressively, the PAX got out of detention on the very first round of silent Side Straddle Hops! They still paid 5 burpees as a baseline but the result could have been far, far worse.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: So many! See the general channel, near term we’ve got the following, note the prepositions…
– Convergence ON 9/11 at greenmachine
– Convergence FOR 9/11 ON 9/13
– Grow School on 9/20

MOLESKINE:
Actual lyrics from a song we heard as we listened to Tyler Childers’s new album.
Koala bears get livid when they don’t get eucalyptus
Most of ’em carry syphilis
Or chlamydia what’s the difference
All I know is I don’t want no koala cuddlin’ up to me
I can see it fine from here it is a pretty cute koala
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT:
WARMUP: mosey around the field, active warmups
THE THANG: KICKBALL!
Started off with Last Man Standing- one pitch, if you get out, you join the pitcher in the outfield. Last batter to get out wins. Immediately had to add people to the outfield due to Oatmeal’s lack of hustle.
Switched to standard kickball where we ended in a tie! (boooooo)
Highlighted by some superb batting from Toothless, an opportunity to improve fielding abilities from Siri, and a true masterclass in bunting from both squads. Everyone was red from burpees in the dirt after every hit.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: The dreaded Tennessee Tussle is scheduled! Get excited to form teams of four so we can improve on our finish from last year!
COT: Prayers for health, the passing of loved ones, and career adversity. Always thankful for the PAX providing a welcoming space to share our struggles, emotions, and triumphs together.
PLAYLIST: Quickly threw together selections from the top results on Spotify for “baseball walk up music.” Turns out the youth these days only pull from two categories for walk up tunes- rap made after 2019, and classic rock. Go figure.

MOLESKINE: sooner shared personal connections to tragic loss in Texas Mystic Camp. It is good to feel the hurt and loss and not deflect or avoid. We love and care deeply at the risk of hurt when lost. This is living fully. But our hearts long for a world where that risk does not exist. The creator God as revealed has promised this day will come when “every tear is wipe away” and we can experience the life our hearts long for. It is hard to see and believe in the middle of hurt.
