Train whistle = 10 Burpees in honor of Padre

Disclaimer disclaimed with Legal Counsel present

And we were off…moving fast…really fast…with @FAKEBurgandy in full stride, he was talking, I was sprinting…he was giving me a tour of Winthrop’s campus, I grunted out a “get me to that DI highway”

For those who don’t know a DI Highway is a USMC Drill Instructor term for a passage way or a walkway that is utilized into a pain station where you can see all troops coming or going. At Winthrop near the commons is a long walkway with street lights to use as markers and is a perfect place for a workout

THE THANG:
Dynamic warmup alternating at each light post, plank for the 6.
Lunge and soccer hips
Toy Soldiers and soccer hips
Bear crawls and light jog
Basketball side shuffle and shooting drills
A couple more, nothing very memorable…we got good and warmed up

Quick sermon on Coach John Wooden = 10 NCAA Championships in 12 years

Coach John Wooden was known for reciting a seven-point creed for life that he said he received from his father. I turned it into a pop- quiz for Chaser and DD… who I discussed Coach Wooden’s 7 Point Creed on the jeep ride to the AO…they both knew there was going to be a pop-quiz…and they both did well…we were doing the burpees anyways…#sorrynotsorry

The 7 points:
1. Be true to yourself.
2. Make each day your masterpiece.
3. Help others.
4. Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible.
5. Make friendship a fine art.
6. Build a shelter against a rainy day.
7. Pray for guidance and give thanks for your blessings every day.
So I spent the next 30 or so minutes trying to get in as many burpees as possible…we got in well over 100 in a 45 minute workout. It was nice…

Moleskin:
• Great numbers this morning, and was it because I said it was going to be “easy”…it is never going to be easy…
• Really good #Mumblechatter from the #HIM of @F3RockHill
• It was great to be with DD, Chaser, and Rock Thrill who all showed up to enjoy the AO
• Catfish thank you for the invite to Q
• Read your newsletter
Be a better man today then you were yesterday,
AYE!

    CSPAN – your definition of “nice” does not match mine. There is nothing “nice” about 45 minutes of burpees. However, it was fun.
