The Thang:
https://hoover.archives.gov/hoovers/history-hoover-ball extended rallies w/o score tracking, mixed w/ periodic bootcamp style exercises. PAX formed 2 two-man teams & tossed a 7lb leather medicine ball over a regulation height volleyball net. PAX must catch the ball w/o the ball touching the ground and immediately return the ball on the fly. After ~7-8 minutes, PAX would mosey over to the track & do various bootcamp-style exercises “spittoon” style. Once completed, PAX resumed playing HooverBall until it was time for the next round of bootcamp-style exercises. Exercises were as follows:
Round 1: 80 Burpees & 200 LBCs.
HooverBall
Round 2: 200 Lunges (1 is 1) & 200 Flutter Kicks (4 is 1)
HooverBall
Round 3: 100 Bobby Hurleys & 200 Merkins
HooverBall
Round 4: 200 Plank Jacks & 200 Squats
Moleskine:
Advanced preparation and/or contingency planning can be a great antidote for anxiety. If you struggle to do it yourself, at least surround yourself with people who don’t & then be willing to just follow their lead.
Prayers lifted up included wisdom for doctors & grace for families going through challenging medical circumstances, including the Ms for both Cookies & Gummy Bear.
Ended with a moment of quiet contemplation & recitation of the Serenity Prayer.
