Spiritually Uplifting While Still Spewing Bullsh*t

There are a lot of good reasons to Q at Attila. It’s a great AO because you have a parking deck you have stairs you have ramps you’ve got a green way there’s a playground nearby there’s everything you could ever want in a location. It’s a damn good group of people too. Usually guys that want to work really hard for 45 minutes and if they’re not leading the workout want to give you a hard time for 44 of those 45 minutes. So I thought that I might be able to change that hard time part if we were engaged in an activity that would somehow Elevate our spiritual condition so that we would no longer find it necessary to harass humiliate or simply antagonize the leader of said Work Out.

Boy was I wrong.

So here’s how it happened ……we started off with the standard. Because even when you’re trying to be spiritually elevated you still have to have the standard. At the conclusion of the standard we Moseyed Down to the area under the bridge by The Greenway where there is a pretty darn good Rockpile. The pax were tasked with grabbing a piece of chalk provided by the Q and in 20 seconds making a list on the sidewalk of all the things they were grateful for. After 20 seconds we would  add up how many things they were grateful for subtract from 10 and that’s how many burpees we had to do. The max number of burpees we did was 7 and the least was 0 and I thought that was a pretty good indication of our capability as a group to stay grateful. The pax did called exercises during the 20-second interval in which the writer was making his gratitude list and yet somehow managed to give me s*** while the gratitude list was being made. Somehow the pax  figured out how to have hearts filled with gratitude and yappers filled with b*******.

Following this activity we moseyed up closer to the Metropolitan building and had a similar task. One pax was tasked with running with the piece of chalk back to where the rock pile was and on one particular Rock writing down the initials for someone that you’d had a grievance with from last year. Perhaps this was somebody that owed you an apology somebody that offended you or somebody you were just pissed off with. The rest of the pax would wait and do a called exercise until that pax Got Back. It was during this activity that senor chips informed me that everybody had written my initials on the rock. I went last and was surprised to find this was not true. But it did confirm the fact the senior chips can be a real m************ sometimes.

Following that we Moseyed to the rails where we did in boards and Outboards .  Pax took turns writing the initials on the wall of somebody they were going to do something good for later that day.

We finished with just enough time for a few minutes of Mary before the workout came to an end.

NMM:

Now I have to say that I do believe The spiritual condition of the pax was elevated because of this workout.

I was just surprised that they had this  capability to spew  b******* while their souls were being uplifted. I will have to invest time with greater spiritual authorities to find out how one’s soul can soar  while ones mouth goes into the toilet. Maybe I should have expected this. Or maybe this is just their way of showing love.
