Why is it so freakin hot at 5 in the morning?!?!? A nice balmy 74 greeted us this morning in downtown Lenoir. The usuals rolled in(EXCEPT FRAIR! FART SACKER!!!) with a return visit from Twin. Twin is now a few pounds lighter and firing blanks….welcome to the club! I promised the PAX an educational treat on the lead up to my Q and I think we were are disappointed. Tons of burpees followed….
Warmup:
- SSH
- Imperial Stormtroopers
- Hairy Rockettes
- Humpees
- Arm Circles
- Merkins
Now that we were nice and lose, we began our journey through the alphabet. I was sent a picture from one of my employees’ class assignments for Virtual Learning PE. Let me tell you, this PE teacher is sadistic! The assignment was to look at the list(see attached picture), and spell your name using the workouts listed for each letter. So, if some 9 year old girl can do this, surely a bunch of hardened F3ers could as well, right?
Each PAX got their turn as the group completed the workouts for each of the letters in their names. Once completed, mosey to a new parking lot some where in downtown Lenoir and then go for the next one. Simple enough, right?
I did not have a chance at recording the amount of SSHs and burpees completed but I am pretty sure it was somewhere in the 1000s. This PE teacher needs to learn some new tricks. I know for a fact that we completed only 30 squats….so I envision a barrel chested old dude with the skinniest chicken legs you have ever seen!
Anyways, to everyone’s great pleasure, this took the entire workout and even had to cut short my name to just BF. And of course, more burpees. With that we were finally done and vowed to never speak our ABCs again.
COT:
We look to you, Lord, to take, bless and multiply our efforts to educate and nurture your children. We look to you, Lord, who gives us the peace that passes understanding, hears the cries of the hurting and promises that small amounts of faith can precipitate large, life-giving change. We look to you, loving God, for wisdom, for courage, for inspiration, for creativity.
As we make difficult decisions in an unprecedented time, grant us an unshakable commitment to one another, especially to the most vulnerable among us. Send your Spirit to open our eyes to the new thing you are doing. Send your Spirit to open our ears to the voices we need most to hear. Send your Spirit to open our hearts to the profound love you have for us all so that everything we do in this time of fear, anxiety and uncertainty reveals your compassion, kindness and grace. Send your Spirit to comfort and direct us as we humbly look to you for guidance and strength. Amen.
Make sure to be there for not only the students, but our educators as well. Whether that is traditional teachers or home schoolers. These are crazy times we are facing and lets all try to make the best of the situation and appreciate the blessings we have!
Moleskin:
- 30 burpees for each S??? Seriously???
- There is no way kids are going to stay overweight with assignments like this
- Apparently we have all had a few Fs back in our days of college
- When you are the mumble chatter king(no offense to Snips or Kleenex), the PAX love to return the favor on your Q
- And YES, I know what a parking lot is, SPOKES!
Babyface out!
