Bert

Event Date

May 05, 2021


YHC arrived at Meat Locker a little early with a workout it mind.  Since we are honoring fallen soldiers this month of Mondays at Mustang, I wanted to honor a fallen soldier at Meat Locker.  I brought a WOD in honor of US Marine Corporal Albert Gettings, who died in 2009 while conducting operations in Iraq.  This workout consists of 50 burpees, a 400m run, 100 push-ups, a 400m run, 150 lunges, a 400m run, 200 squats, a 400m run, 150 lunges, a 400m run, 100 push-ups, a 400m run, and 50 burpees.  We had to modify this for time constraints as you will see in the beatdown.  We also had heavy hearts and used this time to honor Mater's father.

Devotion

Owe nothing to anyone – except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God's law.  Romans 13:8

The Bible teaches that we have one obligation to one another:  which is love.  How do we show love to those closest to us?  We need to be intentional about expressing gratitude for the roles others play in our lives.  We need to check in and ask how those around us are doing.  We need to seek God in prayer for our loved ones, neighbors, community and world.  (Devotion App)

Prayer

Mumble chatter

Not a lot of mumble chatter because Pax were busy counting reps but here is what was discussed:

Mater thought that doing the full Bert was a terrible idea because of the 50 burpees, 100 merkins, 150 lunges, and 200 squats.  I agreed so we scaled it back.

Jon Bon agreed that scailing it back was the right idea because we would be there til 7:30am

Mater thought the Yankees lost to by beloved Astros but I had to break it to him that they won

Jon Bon is prepared to bring the hammer down if he becomes HOA president.  I just want to know when the yard sale is going to happen. If I were on FaceBook or was a little more involved, I would have known it would be later this month.

Jon Bon though it would be a great idea to do a bunch of squats with 95 lbs on Saturday, stopping to run a 1/4 mile after each 20 reps.  Then proceeded to bust out most of the squats for us today.

It was great to be able to honor Mater's father and a fallen soldier this morning.  May they both RIP. 

 

It was my honor to lead this am,
