You can steal a rock from the other team, but must run backwards with it, and return it to the neutral pile.
Team members not running, do squats after first lap, LBC after second, and Merkins after third.
Game goes for 10 minutes, winning team will be the one with most rocks.

Every time the entire team runs out 30 yards and back, they the fastest man back can move the back block to the front and does squats until team is back from next round (rest of team must start together), slowy advancing their block line. First team to move their block line 10 yards (to the cone) wins.

Reflection:
Ecclesiastes 3 (NIV) "A Time for Everything"
1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
9 What do workers gain from their toil?
10 I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race.
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart;
yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
12 I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live.
13 That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.
Moleskin:
- Q got there early to setup, lots of questions about how long I had been there. I like to have things ready!
- Q concerned with how I would perform, having donated blood yesterday, then attended a wedding last night which lead to consuming beer, bbq, and baked beans. Afraid I was going to pass out, barf, or crap my pants. Luckily none of these happened.
- Did things a little differently today, but seemed to go well. Not a lot of chatter, so must have been challenging enough.
