EMO B.O.M.B.S.
THE SCENE: Humid, but not humid enough for me to describe the scene as “moist.”

THA-THANG:
First, we moseyed to the playground for some pull-up fun. We partnered up, and each pair completed 50 pull ups. While Partner 1 was doing pull ups (AMRAP), Partner 2 was doing some American Hammer. Repeat til accomplishing 50 pull ups. Hold plank til all-in.
Then we moseyed to a random clearing – clear of the old trees that make up Old Forest – for some modified (B.O.M.B.S.) suicides. Like suicides, start at the starting line, sprint to cone 1, sprint back to the starting line, sprint to cone 2, etc. BUT, modify to add exercises at starting line and each cone.
- Starting Line = Burpees
- Cone 1 = Overhead Claps
- Cone 2 = Merkins
- Cone 3 = Big Boy Situps
- Cone 4 = Squats
We completed 4 rounds, flutter-kicking til all-in after each round:
- Round 1 = 2 reps
- Round 2 = 4 reps
- Round 3 = 6 reps
- Round 4 = 8 reps
Fortunately for these PAX, we had time for a BONUS ROUND! Since the PAX seemed pretty spent (myself included!), I kindly gifted them with only FOUR REPS during the bonus round. BUT….. this time we bear crawled and crab walked instead of running. Whew!
Thankfully, we had an Easily Amused playlist filled with emo, punk, and pop-punk highlights from the 90s and early 2000s. Green Day, Blink 182, Taking Back Sunday, and other wildly energetic and mournfully sad bands gave us the fuel we needed to get through 120 burpees and other shenanigans.
MARY:
We moseyed back to the flag in time for 38 American Hammer IC.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This morning I was thinking about sleep because my 2.2 kept me up all night. Some evenings I end my day with the Compline Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer. It’s a nightly reminder that sleep is a gift and an opportunity to surrender to God. When we sleep, we give up control and trust that God’s in control, that God is good, and that God is for us.
“In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, Lord,
make me dwell in safety.” – Psalm 4:8
MOLESKIN:
This was a hard workout! I’m thankful to be in the company of HIM who push me. PLC was rich today as men continue to grow in relationship with one another.
