Surrogate BB for 12/1

Leave a comment

WARMUP: while the posting numbers are inaccurate, due to the many folks that don’t find the BB system worth their time… Some of us enjoy seeing the numbers climb.

Getting these done increases the accuracy of that,
and any motivation is good motivation IMHO.

THE THANG: kettlebell type stuff
MARY: abdominal type stuff
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter type stuff
COT: prayer type stuff

Park to Calhoun

Leave a comment

WARMUP: it was cold. we’ll warm up on the run
THE THANG: cover distance stop for:
5 burpees
10 merkins
15 squats
added some lunges once
did some leg lifts after a muscle up twice
bear crawled the length of Calhoun St. Parking lot twice too
covered 3.11 miles–except for Beaker (his strava only said 2.98, which feels like a failure on my part. see NMM below)
MARY: flutters in cadence for 1:30 to hit 0600
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Xmas Party 12/12, Bethel service tonight

NMM:

You ever just 3000% took care of everything and crushed it by all outward metrics, but you didn’t do it with JOY in your heart? So your wife, kids, or close friend noticed and it wasn’t the reaction you expected…even though the mission was fully accomplished

It isn’t enough to just do a good job

Handle the mess your kids created with success, but did it in a way that made them feel scared rather than safe? Failure

Take care of business for your family, but made your wife feel like it was a burden rather than a mission? Failure

Maybe it’s just me… 😉 Good thing failure is a way point and not an end point. Let’s stay after it!
