Three for a circuit

Event Date

Jan 05, 2022


Three showed at Mustang.  I was going to go the Meat Locker, but I knew Travolta did not read the email so I knew he would post at Mustang, so I went there to retreive him.  Sparrow was there as well so we decided to make it a workout.

I took the lead and we did a very short warm up with 

10 Side Straddle Hops

Long Hamstring Stretch

The workout:  The Circuit  (Running/Moseying between locations below, planking at each station location until the six completes the excercise)

One Lap Around The Lot counter clockwise

Continue to the pullup bars for 10 pullups (switched to 5 and added 10 down under pull ups at the down under bars after the first two laps)

To the blocks, with a stop off for down under pullups in laps 3-6, for 20 Block Curls & 20 Skull Crushers, replace blocks

Up the gravel road and to the top of the parking lot for 20 Merkins

To the corner by the tennis courts for 30 Squats

Repeato back to the pullup bars

6 circuit laps were completed after the warm up lap using the full 45 minutes plus a minute or two

Mumble:

As usual I came out hard and blew into Vo max going up the hill to the merkins every lap, this caught up to me after 2-3 laps and Sparrow wound up taking the lead in the last lap, and was planking several times as well, always an inspiration.  The youngster of the group, Travolta at 49 years young, pushed it hard and took the lead at least once as well on the way to the squats.  At least twice I was wishing I had gone to the Meat Locker, and it was crickets when I asked if I needed to make it harder, so it was a good workout.

Reflection:

Isaiah 9:6 (or 9:5 depending upon the translation used):

For to us a child is born, a son will be given to us, and the government will be upon His shoulder.  His Name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, My Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. (TLV)

No matter what the world throws at us, we have the have the promise of salvation, from the Father that never leaves us or forsakes us, sealed by the blood of the sacrifice of the innocent one, which washes clean our sin and makes us as white as snow.
