BackBlast:

We three queens met in the parking lot along with our boyfriends and set out for a DORA-type beatdown. Sonic Boom and Triple Threat are always ready to try anything and do it enthusiastically!

Since we were an odd number, I was one team and they were together on the other. Idea was that while one team did the exercises, the other carried the boyfriend over their shoulder quickly around the parking lot – they were the hares. Once the exercising team finished, they ran to catch up to the others, took over the boyfriend(s), and the hare team was now the tortoise. They dropped right where they were and did the exercise. Rinse and repeat for 3 times before moving on to the next exercise.

The Thang:

Repeat each exercise until each team has done them 3 times before moving on to the next:

• 5 Burpees

• 10 Outlaws

• 15 Merkins

• 20 Big Girl Situps

• 25 Squats

Katie hammers out those burpees – October’s challenge just made her stronger and faster! Meanwhile, Triple Threat got her quick runs in. Must have been motivated for her upcoming Avalon half-marathon! I liked this one, so it will make a reappearance!

COT:

Recapped our church’s sermon series about #Blessed:

1. We are blessed to be a blessing

2. It is more blessed to give that to receive

3. Time can be a blessing – it is given to us as a gift; we can use it to bless others

4. Our treasure and talents are a blessing – for us and others
