Today celebrated two firsts… my VQ @ The Dump and my first no-coupon Q! I had a plan of covering more scenic areas of the Dump other than the parking lot but the snow & ice required an audible. I stuck to the planned beatdown as best possible and still feel we got a good workout. Techno group Daft Punk announced their breakup after 28 years so 7 rounds * 4 sets = 28…. much better than a single set of 28!🤮 (especially in the crunchy snow)

Thanks to those men able to attend. Great job everyone-  TCLAPS Lights Out for not throwing me into the lake, Kato pushing the early sprints, and Bozo/Muck/Optimus….those guys keep on going and bust out anything you throw at them! Also, I don’t always make coffeeteria which made that time today a bonus for me.

During reflection this week I was reminded of our free will and our ability to choose…. and our ability to choose Gods love for us, and to choose His divine mercy, now. It was noted how sad it will be for those who willingly do not know His mercy through a personal relationship now will end up asking (begging) for it in vain when it is too late. 

….an interesting concept applicable to many facets of life… get in shape now or pay for it later; create a loving relationship with your spouse now or beg for one when things go south; get your house in order now or struggle & be saddened later when it’s too late. 

Put God in the center and everything will come together.

BACKBLAST 2/18/2021 Snow Stairs to Heaven @ The DUMP

PAX: Optimus, The Mick, Pacrat, Kato & Bob Villa

5 PAX started the day on the right foot for a great morning beat down at the dump. Not knowing the condition of the stairs we took a pole of the PAX and it was decide to go for it.. so here’s how it went down…

WARM UP:

x15 Bean Pickers

x 20 Side Straddle Hops

x 25 Unperfect Squats

x 2 Bateen Death March Indian Run – 3 burpee head start parking lot lap

THE THANG:

Stairway to Eleven – Started w/ Burpees at the bottom with a incline merkin halfway up and completed a squat at the top and running (sliding) back down the stairs. Each time adding a rep to finish at 11.

MARY:

Finish a run from the stairs to the parking lot

Two minute plank

MOLESKIN:

Great job by the PAX’s to the bitter end…. KATO was awesome passing us all on the last run as he passed by all the Pax to end behind PACRAT before the ab bust. The MICK as always giving it everything he has and making us PAX know one day we could be that good. OPTIMUS smiled the whole time while taking it serious trying not to laugh at my first time. Ha ….PACRAT well he’s PACRAT – “good to great”. It was a pleasure to grab coffee and reflect with these great men on Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. AMEN and respect brothers.

See you all soon,

BV

Backblast 1/28/21: Sledding

Date: 1/28/2021
Pax: Kato (POTD), Muck (QIC)
AO: The Dump

After a moderate reception to my preblast, I was not expecting a ton of Pax at The Dump this am. Sledding at my house is a big deal. We sled every chance we get. Kids get smoked from walking up a hill 20+ times. It’s a perfect way to let them have fun and get in some exercise. Sledding may or may not be popular with Pax but alas that will not stop Muck from mixing things up now and again. The Barricade “Tag” Q or the Mister Brown “Kick Ball” Q comes to mind. All things CSAUP has its place. That reminds me, the “100” series may make a comback. Overall, I think NWInd could use some more creativity. Anyhow, let’s see what we did:
