6 men appeared in the gloom. All looking forward to a healthy BEATdown. None looking forward to doing so within the pollen. Compromises were made. BEATdown won. Good times had by all as well, and it went a little something like this.
WarmUp:
SSH, windmills, ISW's, mountain climbers, dippy birds, merkins, Tony Hawks, low country crabs
Parking Lot fun: (all with a mosey back)
butt kickers, high knees, karaoke street, karaoke playground
(had some bear crawls and burpee broad jumps in mind here, but pollen face prevention was in play)
Mosey back to the back playground
grab a block

* Matthew 28: 5-6 "But the angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for He has risen as He said.'"
* Psalm 107: 1 "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His steadfast love endures forever."
– Even though Anvil's awesome, "Rolled Away the Rock" workout was Easter themed, I wanted to put in my own stamp on the season.
– The Pursuit Easter service was a-ma-zing. A great celebration of saying, "Thank you," to our Creator, to Jesus's birth/death/resurrection as a sacrifice for our sins, and His grace, mercy, and love.
– No matter your past, your resurrection is always possible.
moleskine:
– It's true, no murder bunnies were performed in this BEATdown, a change from YHC's recent script
– Anvil and Salty keep doing more and more burpees each round. YHC thought fatigue would produce fewer and fewer. Aye, more evidence of their super hero powers.
– Shirley does his patented Creepy Shirley entrance, sneaking in from the woods just when we thought he may be on vacay.
– Strudel reminds of how thankful immigrants are to be in the US. Sometimes we forget how fortunate we really are.
– LightBulb's presence always brings about ideas. Love it Bro, so great to see you. Thanks for throwing in the reverse Meat Grinder ideas.
Super honored to lead you guys. Thanks for all the support.
