Hold The Pass Challenge - Day 1

John here.

Yesterday was Day 1 of Hold The Pass Challenge. The two challenges yesterday were to squeeze the ball (shown in the previous two posts) 600 times - 300 times per arm and throw the ball 600 times - 300 times per arm against a chain link fence or a wall and time yourself. I drove to Lafayette, Louisiana and went to Girard Park to do my throws against a squash court wall. I will have to get the pictures my wife took to show where I was throwing the ball.

Earlier in the day, I did a 600 calorie burn to see how long it would take me to accomplish it because today’s challenge besides squeezing the ball 600 times, is to burn 600 calories. So that part was lagniappe, extra to see if I could do it and test myself. Now I have a measurement to better myself with each 600 calorie burn challenge.

**How long and far to burn 600 calories**

I will be posting updates daily of how I am doing in the challenge. Thanks for following me on the journey. I greatly appreciate it.

I’m outta here.

Let me explain my picture of the day yesterday. A couple of weeks, I joined a group called Gibborim. Gibborim is “most often, it is used to describe men who are ferocious warriors and noble champions.” (from the Gibborim website) The two running it, Author Cliff Graham and Soulcon Founder Cody Bobay, have a podcast on YouTube and podcast streaming applications.

Last week, they presented a challenge for those interested. It’s called “Hold The Pass” challenge based on the above scripture. It’s two weeks, 14 days of physical, mental, spiritual exercises to task yourself beyond what you think you are capable of doing. The tennis ball in yesterday’s picture is a big part of the challenge. Every exercise we do equals 600 repetitions. I will post updates and pictures on how the challenge is going for me. Since I’m not on social media, this is the only avenue to post about the challenge.

I hope everyone has an outstanding week. There is one more week of August and the fall season is almost upon us. Have a good one.

I’m outta here.
