No Turtles Were Harmed

Event Date

AO


4 men and a turtle emerged from the gloom, ready to work, ready to sweat.  Dandy apparently saw the turtle in danger on the drive in and helped him find a nice wooded area to re-locate.  It may or may not have totally distracted Dandelion throughout the workout.
Here's how it went down…

Dandelion arrives and brings out his new little buddy…a spunky fella who, "never retreated to his shell during the drive."  Turtle likes to keep it movin' and crawls under the truck

WarmUp:
– SSH
– Hillbilly SSH #CrowdPleaser
– ISW
– merkins

Dandelion checks on the turtle. 

Parking Lot fun:
– high knees, butt kickers, karaoke, monkey walk
– bear crawl up, crawl bear back
– burpee broadjumps (for Zippy)
– dragon walk merkins

Turtle stays hiding in the shade under the truck.
After the parking lot fun, most of us want to join it.

To the back for some classic meat grinder action:
– Step Ups (Timer)
– Bennifer's
– Down Unders
– Decline Merkins
– Trifectas (Timer)
– Calf Raises
– Pull Up / Toe Touches
– Landmines with squarepole

Mosey back to the front.
Dandelion can't find Turtle.
Says he is looking for the moving pine.

Another 13+ burpees to make 25 for Zippy

Some yoga-like stretching.

That's all she wrote.  
The Meat Grinder always delivers!
So tired

Reflection:   2 Kings 17:41
"41 Even while these people were worshiping the Lord, they were serving their idols. To this day their children and grandchildren continue to do as their ancestors did."
* long story short, it's eternally important to worship the Lord, but are there still some old idols in your life that are also being worshipped?
* take stock of your time and your priorities
* may need to reconsider some things
* also, note that the habits and idols of the parent were passed down to their children…hmmm, what are their seeing and learning

Moleskine:
* Dandelion's love for his turle friend was evident.  Before anyone leaves, Dandelion checks under all the tire around.
* Tonka is exhausted, but mentions he can definitely tell the difference from his first workouts. #hardworkpaysoff
* Anvil steps up and leads the last little bit of stretching.  Always  happy to jump in and deliver.  Thanks Bro!!

Always an honor to lead
