YHC realized very late on a Friday afternoon that most of the big hitters and even some bench warmers (I’ll let you guys sort out who is who) were out of pocket or out of town for the weekend. This led to YHC, “the Replacement” , to be called up to the big show. With that said all previous plans needed to be chucked out and the drawing board needed some dusting at a very late hour.
Now, we are all aware that June has started and we are all very aware of what is celebrated in June. Correct! It is the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. We celebrate this the whole month and I for one am thankful for it! This was started a very long time ago but was re-ignited by Pope St. John Paul II as part of the “New Evangelization”.
Usual warmup with French Horn showing much earlier than ever before, he made it to 78% of the warm up which honestly is so impressive! We made sure to hit the leg stretch hard because of the death caused by Goose on Thursday. I heard it was a real tear jerker!
Because Dox is on a very well timed vacation we are gonna throw up the deuces and ask the Lord, “Roll that footage!”
In Honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus we are reminded of the mission given to us by our Creator; Jesus sent out his Apostles 2×2 and they had to work together to figure out the best way to accomplish the goal given to them. We are called to a very similar vocation and a slow mosey around the blacktop of the Peltch was in order to reach the far off land called, The Chimney, to spread the Word of God.
Thang 1:
Split into teams of 2 and the usual Dora had commenced.
100 Merkins, 200 Squats, 300 LBC’s with Mosey to sidewalk behind Chimney.
The feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus dates back to 1673, when a French nun who belonged to the Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary, in eastern France began to receive visions about the Sacred Heart. Jesus appeared to Sister Margaret Mary Alocoque and revealed ways to venerate His Sacred Heart and explained his immense love He has for humanity, appearing with his heart visible outside his chest, on fire and surrounded by a crown of thorns. We honored the year of the divine revelation of His Sacred Heart with:
Thang 2:
16 – Carolina Dry Docks
Bear Crawl – 10 yds
73 – Freddie Mercs (2:1)
Bear Crawl Back – 10yds
This was done in 3 sets and a larger amount of groaning as each set was started. With our Hearts (read: Abs) on Fire we had to continue our travels and spread our message of Salvation.
Thang 3:
Indian Run through Park with last guy dropping off for 5 Bonnie Blairs (2:1).
As late laid out plans usually go we had 20 minutes left to spare and all Pax decided to run another mile around the Peltch (I guess they really wanted to Evangelize some more).
10 MOM Potluck Style and an end of BBSU to the final buzzer.
Sometimes on this road of following the Lord we may lose one of our brothers along the way as he stumbles but by keeping on the path ourselves we can bring them back and hope to make leaders out of each other. This is what we are called to do. We are messengers and as we learn we become leaders in our communities. I know I have said it before but I am so thankful for this group of men and so very happy to call you all brothers. You help me when I fall and I hope to someday be the same for you. Someone to count on and help when called.
SYITG,
Lil’ Cuz
