Memory Game 2024

AO: the-knoll
Q: El Capitan
PAX: Half Lyfe, Papa Bear, Stubs, AAA, El Capitan, @TheJudge (2.0)
FNGs: None
COUNT: 6
CONDITIONS: Low 40s & overcast

WARMUP:

– Pilates flow stretches
– Run to tree line & back (25%, 50%, 100%)

THE THANG:

18 pairs of cards, each with a workout written on them.

PAX will circle around cards & take turns drawing.

If cards do match, no exercise is performed & the drawer can draw again.

Repeat until all cards are matched

We ended with 4 minutes to spare so waved goodbye to 2024 with 24 pull-ups.

MOLESKINE:

As we begin the new year, who in your life could you reach out to that’s lonely or “broken”? The memory game caused me to remember those in my family that struggle with mental issues or are sick and spend a lot of time alone or only with a caregiver. If every person is an Image-bearer, then every person is worthy of respect & your compassion. Who can you spend more time with in the New Year that could use a friend?

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

LeanPax begins 01/01. Q schedule for the-knoll is open for January!

COT:

Countorama, Nameorama, and closed with a prayer of thanksgiving + supplication for the sick.

Thank you Half Lyfe for bringing the coffee!

Grateful for y’all.

PART 2: Deadly Dice

Circle up around flood table. One PAX rolls 12-sided die with regular die into bucket.

Regular die represents exercises:
– 1 (Burpees)
– 2 (Downward Dog Toe Taps 2=1)

12-sided die represents the amount of reps.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

PART 3: Return of the Plank, Plank, Goose!
– Circle up in grass. One person is “it”. Goes around duck-duck-goose style. When he chooses a goose, he immediately does 10 SSH while the tagged runs around circle & tries to return to spot before tagger does.

Cool down mosey to coupon tree & back to playground.

MOLESKINE:
Encouraged the PAX to look outside themselves & seek opportunities to better serve their families & communities. It’s so easy to be primarily concerned with what matters to me – but true manliness is sacrificial, seeking the good of others for the glory of God.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Happy birthday, @Schmoltz!! Enjoy those birthday breakfast bagels in bed. :joy:
Fat Bear Week is next week, per Sooie! :bear:

COT: Lifted up prayer requests & held a moment of silence. Enjoyed a delicious moment of fellowship & :boar::coffee::tm: post-workout.

Grateful for y’all!

MOLESKINE:
“Love is a long road.” Our culture tends to view love as a feeling, something you fall into, experience passionately, etc. But real love is indeed a long road – one that is often defined much more by commitment & faithfulness than feeling. I encouraged the PAX to consider this viewpoint & look around their circle of influence to see who God has placed in their lives to serve for the long haul.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Check Slack for October updates coming soon!

COT: Lifted up G-string & his family at the passing of his great-grandmother, friends of the The Banker dealing with a cancer diagnose, and The Merchant’s purchase of his first home.

So grateful for y’all!
