Conditions : Beautiful 68 degrees
13 Pax woke up this morning to see what Floppy could dust off from the 4 years of hiatus from Q’ing. I did enjoy reading back through old backblasts trying to figure out what some of Arena’s newer pax may not have seen or done before. Missing some of our regulars like Mater, Quest, and Potluck who claimed to be in LA hiding from my Q. Regardless – Here is what went down today
The Thing:
SSH x 20 IC
Windmill x 10 IC
Through the Tunnel – x10 IC
Roman Soldiers x 10 IC
Squats with Chinook
Hillbillies x 15 IC
Railroad Tracks (Plank Run)
Truck Tug of War – Divide into 2 groups with 1 group being larger. 1 on 1 side of the truck with Tow strap and 1 on other side of truck with Chain. After pull – 2 pax go to other side to help pull the other team.
Ascending Testicles x3
Wall Sit line with Blocks
Vortex – Basically a game of “Never have I ever” but running/lunging in outer circle until you have to answer yes to one of the questions. If yes – go in circle and do the called out exercise. (SEE MOLESKIN FOR WHAT WE LEARNED ABOUT EACH OTHER)
Lung Walk
- Walking lunch – CCW for Ranger
- Blart – Similar to an Al Gore, Pax are in Air Chair position and grab the handlebars of their Segway. Pax bend at the knees – left, forward, right, back is 1 count (Kodiak style)
Tic Tac Toe
2 groups – 1 dude runs to the game and places an X (or O for the other team) and sprints back to tag off. 2nd player takes another X and places it OR moves the other teams O. Continue until 1 team gets 3 in a row. If you aren’t running, then you are doing the called exercise while waiting on your teammate. (Merkins, Squats, Heel Touches, Crunches, V-Ups
Reverse Plank-O-Rama (don’t drop to ground through all exercises)
Back Plank on Q count
Crab Humper x 15 IC
Crab Jacks- x 15 IC
Low Country Crab x 15 IC
Crab Crunch x 15 IC
Moleskin:
Today we learned a few things about each other in the Vortex. Most notable were Ranger and Hush Hush’s love for Boy bands. They’ve been to N’Sync and New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) . . . Bye Bye Bye
Only 2 pax present today had tattoos but a fair number of them have either Scuba dived or jumped out of an airplane. Although we were reminded of a tramp stamp one of the pax has from 4 years ago when we ran this last.
Hush Hush is the only pax who has provided protection and security detail for a senile old man
Devotion
Lamentations 3:22-23 NIV. And it says, “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
What is pulling at you?
Are you letting the world Pull you in many directions or letting Christ?
Is it time to step up as a man and Pull with God instead of against him?
Just like in our truck pull today, there are forces that are pulling against you. Sometimes your pull isn’t aligned with how Christ wants you to be pulling. Move to the side that He is tugging on and Pull with Him to make a difference to those around you.
