Little push, little pull

WARMUP: Light rain was in the forecast and it was cold…so going to chalk those factors to the low numbers but Barkley and Farmers were not deterred. We did a quick lap by the elementary school along with the following warmup: SSH, windmills, low slow squats, cherry pickers, merkins, sprinter stretches, lower back stretch, and finally some hamstring and more lower back stretches.
THE THANG: Before we jumped in, these boys needed some old school Jack Webb because who doesn’t love JW! I know Jiffy does, miss that guy! 1 pushups, 4 overhead claps, 2 pushups 8 claps…up to 10 and 40. These guys loved it. We did this over by the small parking lot at the top of the school hill.

At the top of this hill, then down at the valley/bottom, then at the KW parking lot entrance we did:
– 10 diamonds at the top
– 10 jumping squats at the bottom
– 10 4-count flutters at KW
– Rinse and repeat starting with 10 diamonds at KW and so on.
We did this for 3 full sets and managed to eat up a good amount of time.

Opted against sandbags this morning – everyone nursing injuries/recovering from illness.

Rain poured on the drive home. Some mornings you get lucky.

Route with a couple loops in stockbridge commons neighborhood

Escalator style workout with stops every .2 miles

Stop 1: 5 Burpees
Stop 2: + 10 Big Boy Sit-Ups
Stop 3: + 15 Squats
Stop 4: + 20 Carolina Dry Docks
Stop 5: + 25 Flutter Kicks (4-count)

Got close to 2.4 miles with warmup but ran out of time and never got to stops 9 or 10.

Just like we didnt get to everything in this workout – when you cram too much stuff into your life you will not have time for everything – get your priorities straight and focus on the important stuff (apparently that was burpees and big boys today)

NMM:
Asked each guy to share a bit about their failures. So, many of them shared a regret…something they viewed as a failure that like mising an opportunity. Some shared some pretty epic failures and how they’ve changed because of that.

We don’t necessarily have to regret something for it to be a failure. Personally, I want to try to fail better and often. I wanna dream big, and go big. If it blows up right in my face, hopefully I can learn something for my next big attempt. Shady once told me to fail forward. I like that.

We can’t be afraid to take chances. How are you putting yourself at risk for failure? Is that a good thing? Is it a bad thing? Is it neither but thinking makes it so? (That’s a reference to Hamlet….look it up.) How can we strive to attempt things in ways that leads to good things even when we fail?

This is the kinda stuff I think about. Sometimes a lot. Often in a circular fashion. You’re welcome…or not.

The workout was hard, in the rain, and we went in a giant circle, twice.
