The Thang

Chores were divided up into 13 stations along the soccer field so each PAX had a station. An EMOM timer of 2 minutes was used after which each PAX moved to the next chore on the list.

1: No cheat or hand release merkins

2: Iron man flutter kicks – press two 20 lb dumbbells while doing flutter kick

3: Wagon pull – pull a wagon with 3 sandbags about 3/4 of the way across the field and back

4: Block overhead press

5: Kitty litter dead lift – using two 40 lbs boxes of super duty arm and hammer cat litter because we have 5 cats…

6: Cooler rows – using a cooler filled with water bottles

7: LBCs

8: Laundry day curls – curls using a full bottle of laundry detergent in each hand

9: Hold a low or high plank

10: Sandbag squats

11: WW2s

12: PAXbarrow run – take a fellow PAX for a ride about 3/4 of the way across the field and back in a wheelbarrow – hold plank or Al Gore for duration

13: PAXbarrow ride – take a break, kick up your feet and enjoy a leisurely ride in the wheelbarrow. No good day of chores is complete without some rest breaks.

As things kicked off Spinny Thing set the bar with the wagon pull completing two laps, laying the gauntlet down for the rest of the PAX as we cycled through the stations.

During the last 13 minutes we shortened the EMOM to 1 minute and kept moving up to the 8 am mark. PAX completed one full rotation through all stations and about halfway through a second rotation.

COT

Praise and prayer requests covered the range of the stages of life giving us a moment to reflect on the importance of stewarding the gifts of life we have been given, in order to honor and cherish those precious gifts, whether as individuals or in relationship with others.

No Doubt prayers for the challenges, hopes, fears and blessings associated with pregnancy.

Turnpike the joys and challenges of raising a daughter.

Sunspot praise and prayers for wins, challenges and budding relationships in his 2.0s lives.

The Juice praise for a successful medical procedure for his mother in law and prayers for continued healing.

Our Q source discussion prompted some meaningful and heartfelt sharing among the men today. And we only broached the first Socratic, so plenty of additional potential for further discussions on this part of the Q source.

Hearts were hard at work this morning! ❤️ 💪
