Following the arrows…

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mozy to the front of GHMS for imperial walkers, mountain climbers, and Moroccan night clubs.
THE THANG: After the warmup proceeded toward Dave Gibson blvd and stopped at the first working street light for the shortest round of sevens. (Daylight savings time limited the number of working street lights). Pax lined up on one side of the street for 1 Mike Tyson, then bear crawled across the road for 6 big boy sit-ups. We then bear crawled back to the start for a rinse and repeat count up/count down until we did 6 Tysons and 1 big boy sit-up.
We then ran down the road to the entrance of the elementary school. On the length of the street are three columns of arrows to direct school traffic to the elementary and middle schools. We ran down the turn lane until the arrows ended and then started our journey back. At each arrow in the column the Pax did five burpees (45 total) before returning to the starting point.
Moving on to the center column of arrows, we ran down and headed back with 10 LBCs (120 total) at each. Rinse and repeat down the final column where we did Merkins (80) on the way back to start. Round two consisted of Dips (90), Squats (120), overhead claps (80).
MARY: Short on time we ran back to COT for < 1 minute of full body destroyers. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Upcoming CSAUPSand volunteer opportunities. COT: Health: Family, friends, Pax, coworkers. Mental health and those around us who are impacted.

“Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up.”

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬ ‭CSB‬‬

After a warm up, we completed the circuit below. Similar to a 12 days of Christmas.

20 squats
20 SSH
20 press
20 lunges
20 merkins 

Learned a few things about the Pax I didn’t know. You had to be there to hear for yourself.

Prayers for UHaul, the Mills family and the Tyson family (Micah is F3 Glass Joe of Union County).

7th year Anniversary… with Burpees

Leave a comment

Also Grace Church Parking Lot
Pendulum Workout (Routine I “borrowed” off of Cha Ching)  10 – 5 Reps
Catalina Wine Mixers (an OTG favorite)
(no burpees in the middle this time)
Diamond Merkins
 
Run Back to COT
My personal Favorite with the remaining time left….
EMOM  10 Burpees a minute on the minute….. (only got 9 minutes in)
 
The question of the day is why…why I still am doing this after 7 years when I first thought I’d only give it like 3 months.
 
And it really is because of all of the guys I’ve met and learned from. When I started the saying was if you want to run fast…run with faster people. And There are so many HIMS in our region that run so much faster than me. Not just actual literal running but accelerating at all phases of life. These are role models for us and a big reason why I keep coming out, and I keep pushing. Everyone reading this has in some way pushed me to be 1% better than I was yesterday.  Thank you guys! And see you all in the gloom!
