7s, 10s, 20s, oh my…

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Imperial walkers, mountain climbers, low slow merkins
THE THANG: Mozy to the side of Harris Teeter for 10 counts and 20 counts. Started with 10 count BTW then run across the street for 20 squats. Flip flop for 20/10 (overhead clap/burpees), 10/20 (wall tar jai/dips), 20/10 (air presses/merkins)
Mozy to access road in front of O’reilly auto parts for 7s. Began with 6 burpees, ran to the oil change place where we did 5 CDDs, bear crawl to the wall for 1 big boy sit-up. Jog back to oil change place for 5 more CDDS then back to start. Rinse and repeat 5/5/2, 4/5/3, 3/5/4, 2/5/5, 1/5/6.
Mozy across Gold Hill Road (being responsible and checking for traffic) for more running and reps. Lots of back and forth and a fair amount of confusion. Reps included flutters, more dips, shoulder taps, merkins and more BBS.
MARY: Unaccounted for since we did plenty else

Welcome to my TED Talk

Leave a comment

Disclaimer disclaimed
Valentine’s Day Eve – Accelerating the M requires both Skill and Love. Just like our fitness, relationships are either Accelerating or Decelerating, Aye?
If you think you are “Maintaining” your relationship, you are actually Decelerating.

Mosey to WEP Stage
The Culture is a Jester
• Our culture likes to present marriage as easy, but a HIM knows virtue takes work, and thus marriage will take work.
Warm Up
20 SSH IC
10 Windmills IC
10 LSS IC
Al Gore w/ 10 MNC IC
11 Hill Billy Walkers IC
Yoga?

There is NO 50 Yard Line
• Halfway is not good enough when it comes to the M. An Accelerating HIM will go the length of the field for his M.

The Thang – Pearls on a String became chase Maximus (and Clickbait and Poppins, with Band Camp on form patrol) around the WEP loop, at each swing, do the following:
10 Merkins
10 Squats
10 Flying Squirrels

Your Wife is NOT Your Best Friend
• She is made for a much higher purpose, put her on the pedestal alone.

Mosey to Pike Entrance
7s of Derkins and Bomb Jax
7s of Step Ups and Dips
Mosey to Pike Wall
Wall Sits and Burpee Waterfall

Joy Trumps Happiness
• Happiness is a transitory positive feeling
• Joy is a permanent state of hopeful satisfaction
• A healthy and vital M is a lifetime pursuit

Mary – Flutters until 0600

Marriage requires Proximity and Purpose. It transforms a man from a selfish Happiness-junkie into a selfless Joy-seeker. The HIM knows if he fails at his M, nothing else he does will matter.

Announcements: Q-Source after this. D2D celebration on 3/2
COT: stays in COT
