COT: Prayer Read Aloud:

Get up off of your knees. Come out of your churches, your mosques, your temples. God can hear your prayers for peace, justice, and hope in this broken world just fine while you’re out creating peace, working for justice, and giving hope to this broken world. When are we finally going to realize that humanity is the solution to inhumanity? When will we finally understand that we are all drops of the same ocean, hurting together, healing together, hoping together? Don’t just pray for hands to heal the hurting. Pray with hands that are healing the hurting. Don’t just pray for arms to help the helpless. Pray with arms that are helping the helpless. Don’t just pray for feet to respond to need. Pray on feet that are responding to need. Don’t just pray for someone to do something. Be someone who does something. Don’t just pray for answers. Be the answer. L.R. Knost

To “Boogie Shoes” by KC & the Sunshine Band

– SSH to the beat; do a burpee every time the phrase “boogie shoes” is mentioned in the song. – Abe Vigodas w simultaneous Arm Circles (follow the leader) – Michael Phelps OYO

The Thang:

Rotating HooverBall + Spittoon

PAX was divided into 3 similarly sized Teams:

Team A: 5 PAX
Team B: 5 PAX
Team C: 6 PAX

The teams cycled through 3 stations as disco music filled the morning air.

Two teams started w/ playing modified HooverBall:

– Used 7 lb leather medicine ball & regulation volleyball net
– Toss HooverBall over the net; PAX must catch & immediately return on the fly. (No “setting” or passing to teammate.) – No scoring; goal was to keep rallys going as long as possible. – Each time a PAX throws the HooverBall, they must drop & do 2 burpees. – PAX cannot handle the ball twice in a row for their team.
– PAX responsible for the rally ending must mosey over to the Workshop & back before rejoining the game.

Meanwhile, the 3rd Team completed the following exercises:

– Manrise up to the top of Hoffa
– Mosey back down; plank for the 6.

The 3rd Team then completes the following exercises in sequence, spittoon style:

– Coupon Thrusters: 125 total for Teams A & B; 150 total for Team C – Big Boy Sit Ups: 250 total for Teams A & B; 300 total for Team C. – Merkins: 375 total for Teams A & B; 450 total for Team C.

Once completed, all 3 teams rotate to a new station: The 3rd Team cycles into the HooverBall game, the team on side 1 of the HooverBall court cycles to side 2, and the team on side 2 of the HooverBall court cycles into the Spittoon station.

Each team got at least 1 full Spittoon Station before time was up. One team got stuck w/ a 2nd Spittoon station, so the HooverBall game was stopped early & all PAX from the other two teams joined in to help finish off the Spittoon sequence before circling back to the flag.

Moleskine:

Self-care is not selfish.

COT:

Prayers for wisdom, patience, and grace as we seek to resolve peaceful resolutions to brewing or ongoing conflicts within our communities: family, church congregations, our local community, and our nation.

A moment of silent contemplation followed, concluded with The Serenity Prayer
