Dazed and Confused

/in /by

Nemo had been out all week due to illness. Still wasn’t 100% but knew I needed to get back out there and sometimes a good sweat helps speed up recovery. I was a little dazed and confused, and had serious vocal deficiency, but as always the PAX picked me up as needed and we had a solid Disney post.

EC alive and well with Nemo, Deadbolt and Warbucks on the run.  Oh, and I think 187 was there too but he was so far gone I never really had visual proof he ran the loop.  Strong pace out there this morning 187.

Warm Up: Quick lap around the soccer fields followed by SSH and Good Mornings. On the jog to the baseball lots we worked in a Warm-Up-o-Rama.
The Workout: Looking for some balance we headed off into the dark to the Abyss. Partnered up with partner 1 running down and up while partner 2 did an exercise. This was not a Dora and there was no count.  It was all about form and quality, as well as personal accountability.  Each did sets of the following – merkins, squats and LBC – with the alternating lap of the stairs this added up to 9 round trips on the stairs.
Mary: Jog back to the start for plank-o-rama
Announcements: HSHM practice run Saturday, many great options to post Fri, looking for pushers for 5k Sunday, PSA from New Mexico to promote reduced speeding in neighborhoods (this is a big problem in Woodcreek as well)
Prayer: Family in Indiana that lost their children to a car accident while they were walking to the bus, Crablegs, brothers on the IR to get better.  New Mexico took us out in prayer with a much appreciated moment of silence to start – always great to have New Mexico out there for the hard work and presence he brings.

Speed4Need. City of Oaks 5k, half and full marathon.  Need people to help push chariots.

Discussed “change” and the importance of being able to change your thoughts. One thing that is always constant is change.  We can not control situations, people or things.  We can just change our thoughts.  Instead of “why me” we should change our thought to “what am I going to learn from this”.
Prayer:

Prayers to Double D and family, Dogpound’s wife and family.

Circled up. Group was “ENERGIZED” with activity. The quickest way to change our emotions is by changing our thought.

Thanks for allowing me to lead today gentlemen.  Always an honor!
