The Thang: Leg Shredder Extravaganza 🦵💥

Ran to the flag at the bottom of the hill. Partner up! 👬

Partner Pain 1:
One PAX: Step-Ups (2-count) 🪜
Other: Bernie to light pole #2, then run back 🏃‍♂️🔙
Flapjack till combined 100. Then swap to Bobby Hurley’s – 2 rounds each. Legs already whispering “why?” 😅

Back to starting point. Grabbed 4 cones and set up a square (~30 ft apart).

Square Movements:
Partner 1: Forward Run to Cone 2 → Defensive Slide left to Cone 3 → Backwards Run to Cone 4 → Defensive Slide back to Cone 1 🏃‍♂️🛡️
Partner 2 rests/recovers. Flapjack. Did this for 4 minutes straight – cardio + agility = jelly legs! 🍇😜

Tabata 1: Imperial Walkers + Curls 👑🏋️‍♂️

Back to square movements (same drill) 🔄

Tabata 2: Overhead Press + Hillbilly Walkers 🌾💪

Moved cones 2 steps closer (smaller square). Now in bear crawl position! 🐻 Everyone goes at once on Tabata timer – crawl on “go,” rest on break, resume where you left off. Brutal! 🔥

Final Tabata Finisher: 7 rounds of Monkey Humpers + Squat Thrusters 🐒🏋️‍♂️ (because why not end with maximum humiliation and burn? 😭)

No time for Mary – she’s still recovering from last week anyway. 👻

Moleskin: Be Slow to Anger and Quick to Repent 🤝🙏

Brothers, today’s beatdown reminded us how quickly our legs can betray us when pushed – much like how quickly anger can flare up and betray our witness. Scripture calls us: “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires” (James 1:19–20). 🗣️😤

And again, “Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly” (Proverbs 14:29).

From a Reformed perspective, we know that even our best efforts at self-control fall short because of indwelling sin. God Himself is “merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love” (Exodus 34:6). His patience toward us in Christ – not treating us as our sins deserve – is the ultimate model. When anger rises, we must be quick to repent, turning to the cross where Christ absorbed the wrath we deserved. True repentance isn’t just sorrow over consequences but a Spirit-wrought turning from sin to God, trusting His grace alone for forgiveness and transformation.🙌✝️
