Weather: 65 degrees, Beautiful sunrise at the end
It’s been about 6 months since YHC’s last boot camp Q, so today we had to knock the rust off and get moving.
YHC’s college roommate and good friend Jay is in Houston for two months undergoing immunotherapy treatment for cancer. YHC has committed to running 3 miles per day and doing at least 100 situps, merkins and squats every day that he is in Houston. So, the Arena pax got a little taste of that today – getting in almost 3 miles, at least 100 merkins, 100 situps and 100 squats.
In addition, June 4 will be one year since our brother David Barker, Da Bear, passed away in a car accident, so we remembered him with some Da Bear Crawls as well.

Rinse and repeat with these exercises until 4 laps are complete. (4 burpees on final lap).
Continue with loops, changing to Carolina Dry Docks, LBC’s and Iron Crosses. Replaced Iron crosses with squats and then BBSU to get to 100 of each. Keep the burpees, starting with 5. Karaoke to the first corner instead of bear crawl.
Rinse and repeat these exercises for 4 laps. We only made about 8 laps total due to time limitations.

Devo – Phil 4:11-12 Contentment
We are all very blessed, but as we look around at others it is easy to find a reason to be discontented. You can always find someone with a bigger house or nicer car or what you think is a better marriage or better kids; however, we all have problems, and each one of us has some things better than others. The key for us is to be content but also to strive to keep getting better while sowing seeds to help others get better as well.
