Introduction
It was a Friday last minute Q for me, as Moonlight asked me to take his Q he had been planning for a while, a FUN GAMES/SPORTS Q, new format, out at LaunchPad. Moonlight did the responsible thing by taking precaution, he was feeling he might have a cold and opted to stay away today so hats off to him for leading by staying at home instead of pushing it and perhaps making it worse for himself or any of us. TCLAPS. We kicked off the FUN FRIDAY GAMES idea and had a great morning.
Warm-O-Rama
WoR
Arm circles x10 each way
Inch worm merkins (8 count inch worm up and down with merkin in middle, clap at top) x10
Warm Up Game
1 team. Each PAX stands on parking spot line. Football starts with first lead PAX, he toss over everyone to last PAX/parking spot. Once last PAX catches the ball, he runs to front, next parking line with ball and do again. If ball drops, it goes back to front to throw again.
While each PAX is waiting for their turn to catch or throw HOLD AL GORE.. First team to move line to a point, like a light or something wins. (only 1 team so we all won!)
The Thang
Thang 1 – Basketball “Knockout”
Game of knockout over on b-ball court
Anyone who gets knocked out does…
1 lap around basketball court then 5️⃣ burpees until the game ends…then a new game starts
(10 minutes)
Townie got redemption, Sun Devil and Harbaugh drained quite a few. I think I made 0 shots from the free throw line.
Thang 2 – Soccer “king of field”
MOZY’d out to the open soccer field since another PAID workout group was using the astroturf…
1 PAX takes goalie, all Pax take turns shorting.
If a PAX scores, he becomes goalie (“king”). Then goalie does 5️⃣ burpees and gets in shooter line.
If PAX misses he goes to back of line and does 5️⃣ burpees.
***Must shoot from behind cones.
We ended up chasing balls on the misses but the trees behind did a good job of stopping those balls. Quite a few future PRO’s, we were all friggin bending it like Beckham.
Thang 3 – Ultimate Football
MOZY’d to the lighted lot along Mill St. Thanks to (I think…Harbaugh and Sun Devil) for the light up football!
2 teams – If team drops pass other team takes over. Same rules as ultimate frisbee.
Only have 5 guys, 1 man had to switch each time possession changed, which made for constantly changing teams. A few good passes by Sun Devil and Harbaugh, Townie and Wedding Planner had some nice catches. Harbaugh caught the winning score from YHC.

Circle of Trust
This morning I just wanted to say and encourage you all here to “keep going”. Whenever you are at in life no matter what your circumstances, just keep going, keep pushing, keep fighting. Sometimes life can be a fight, it can test you. As I’ve gotten older I’ve learned, life isn’t meant to just BE EASIER, to GET EASIER, that’s not the point.. we learn from mistakes, but life doesn’t always present itself to us without obstacles. Remember, you’re being challenged for a reason, someone is challenging you, and seeing if you’ll rise to the challenge and conquer. If you don’t know what to do, just do something. Get moving, get going, and don’t stop. This is as much self talk to myself here today as it is a message to encourage you. Don’t let life stop you. Just get moving.

We may have to adjust what “GEAR” we use for any games on FUN/GAMES Fridays. The light-up football worked awesome, but we did need to be in the lighted parking lot. If we did any other games we’d need either mobile lights, or light up soccer/football/basketballs etc. As it’s just too dark out at LaunchPad.
