It was good to get out to footloose and see some familiar faces and meet some new PAX. Since Rebel was on his entertainment tour for the week so Fogerty and YHC stepped up to try to fill his shoes. Did a brief intro and disclaimer and headed out for a brief mosey down to the COG lot.
I did a quick circle back to pick up the six while Fogerty kicked off the warm-up. We started out with some SSH, IW, a few other things and then into… yep you guessed it a little broga. That’s becoming a nice little change up move for me. Upward/Downward dogs, pigeon stretches, warrior 1,2 etc.
Moved into the meat and potatoes with some 4 corners. Counted off into 4’s then went to our corner with a lunge walk between corners. They looked like this:
Round 1 10 Reps
Corner1 Squats, Calf Raises, Monkey Humpers; Corner 2 Merkins, Mtn. Climbers, Shoulder Taps Corner 3 LBCs, Flutters, American Hammers Corner 4 SSH, Imperial Walkers, Overhead Claps then back to the center for burpees
Rinse repeat with sets of 15 and toy soldiers between corners. Fogerty took the last 15 minutes for a quick DORA up the hill with some LBC’s, Squats and whatever else he was thinking. Quick mosey back to COT for 5 min of Mary.
Mole Skin – Not much was shared during the workout, but I did have some time to reflect on the way home. As I was turning off of Confederate street onto main street my impatience got the best of me and I wiped out a cross-walk sign with my truck. I pulled over like any honest PAX would have and had a brief conversation with the Fort Mill City guy who witnessed it all. We move the sign out of the way and assessed the damage to my truck (not good btw) and went on with our day.
Nobody was hurt or anyone else involved which was good. Several emotions could have come up during the ride home but the one I landed on was disappointment. In years past I probably would have threw a fit and tried to blame the City for putting the sign there. Yes, Rebel we talked about this on our run, but I sincerely am owning the fault. Had I been more patient and waited could it have been avoided? Hard to say. I’m looking at it as an opportunity to exercise control and use it as a teachable moment. As discussed in Q source sometimes a failure comes with consequences. This one is going to be a little $$$. Moving on and looking forward.
Thanks for the opportunity to Lead and share.
