The CAT guys earn their bookmarks the hard way

This morning was the first day of school for our area and F3 Lexington started a new tradition that should become an annual event – a Prayer Walk around the AO schools.  The CAT, Hollow and Shawshank guys were invited to meet at 4:30 to pray for all of our schools (students, teachers, athletes, counselors, bus drivers, education, safety, religion, drinking/drugs, you name it).  We had 27 guys show up at LHS (and plenty more at other schools).  T-claps for those who led this effort and those who spoke this morning.

After the Prayer Walk, the guys mingled around for a few minutes and made their way to the bootcamp of their choice.  We had 11 attend the CAT workout, including Fieldgoal who mall waking due to an injury.  We also had an FNG attend the Prayer Walk and bootcamp: Jay Collins > 55 (RESPECT !), involved it Mt Horeb youth program, sells/manufactures modular homes > singlewide?… trailer park?… Myrtle Manor (R) it is.  Here’s how the rest of the morning went down…

1 minute warning, disclaimer, welcome the FNG, prayer

Mosey to the block pile, grab a good one and meet up “behind home plate”…

I tried to keep the first day of school theme going by coming up with a workout based around school/education/classroom/etc.  So I printed out some “bookmarks” that were cleverly disguised exercises.  We went round robin letting everyone pick 3 bookmarks and we did the 3 exercises.  Then the next guy, etc.  We got through most of the exercises before time was up.  There were 30 bookmarks total with 15 individual exercises.  In total we did about 25 random block/wall/body weight exercises of…
