We Took the Long Route So No One Could Pretend Everything Was Fine

Leave a comment

The PAX were asked a simple question before the work began:
“What burdens are you carrying?”
No answers required yet—just something to sit with.

Opening Smoke Session
Sprint up the hill, knock out 5 burpees, then run it back down. Consider it the price of admission.

From there, we headed down the path toward Harris Street and rolled straight into a moving warm-up, keeping the group together and the heart rate climbing:
• Windmills
• Run
• Imperial Walkers
• Run
• Monkey Humpers
• Run
• Moroccan Night Clubs
• Run
• Low, slow squats

We pushed up the Harris Street hill, then made our way toward the high school pull-up bars.

Mini Dora (Partner Work)
• Partner 1: Dead hang for a 40-count
• If you drop, you get back up. No shortcuts.
• Partner 2:
• 30 Burpees
• 75 Mike Tysons

An audible was called to keep us moving and on mission, so the 100 Big Boys and 150 Sumo Squats were left behind as we transitioned to the next station.

Mosey to the Band Practice Lot

Tire Work — Team Load
• Teams of 4–5 per tire
• Carry the tire around the parking lot
• One man drops to complete 5 burpees, next man steps in
• Cycle continues until the full loop is complete

Then:
• Tire flips — 2 men flip, rotate out, next 2 step in
• Shared load. Shared effort. No spectators.

COT

After returning the tires, we walked and slow-moseyed back to COT.

This is where the real work happened.

Each man shared the burden he’s carrying with the brother next to him.
Then we answered the follow-up:
“What can you do to help carry that load?”

No fixing. No speeches. Just presence and accountability.

Totals:
• 3.2 miles
• Solid boot camp
• New ground covered—both physically and personally

We stayed together the entire way.
No man left behind. No man left where we found him.

Kicking Ass & Chewing Bubble Gum

Leave a comment

Driving around FM the night before running errands and thinking about my Q at the Stockade. Reviewed a few BBs and didn’t see any references to coupons. Messaged The Pirate, who was Qing at Varsity, and asked if I could borrow a few Cindys. He was very much obliged as I took a few off his AO. Woke up this morning with a car packed full of Cindys and a plan, the only thing left to do was to kick ass and chew gum.

The Gloom Always Collects — Check on the Missing

Leave a comment

Warm-Up
We kicked things off with Imperial Walkers, then moseyed to the parking-lot island for hamstring stretches and hip openers. From there, we sprinted to the flag and continued the mosey over to the new bootcamp spot for a healthy round of Monkey Humpers.

The Thang

Movement to the Church
We headed to the church and tackled Toy Soldiers up the hill, followed by a NUR (backwards run) to the parking lot.

Gazebo Work
At the gazebo, we hit offset Ierkins sets on the benches, one hand up high the other on the bench, then flapjacked to hit the opposite side.

Mid-work discussion: Who haven’t you seen post in a while? Have you reached out? The mission only works if the men stay connected.

Apartment Roundabout
Moseyed to the roundabout in the apartment complex for lunges—right leg first, flapjack, then left leg—all in cadence.
We then cut behind Harris Teeter and took the B-line back toward the roundabout.

Around the World Grinder
Held Al Gore around the circle while each HIM took a turn completing 30 Monkey Humpers, passing the work clockwise until all had their turn.

Hill Work Behind Harris Teeter
Found a hill—perfect.
• Crawl Bear down
• Run hard back up
• Lunge walk down
• Move to the far curb for 5 OYO Burpees
• Sprint back to the top

Traveling Bears
At the Harris Teeter wall, PAX held People’s Chair while one man bear-crawled the length. Rotate until every man got his turn. Full team effort.

Oil Change Center Wall Work
20 Wide-Arm Merkins
15 Regular Merkins
10 Diamond Merkins
No rest. Just work.

Advance Auto Lot – Burpee Broad Jumps
We burpee broad-jumped the entire parking lot because sometimes the only path forward is the hard one.

Walgreens – Duck Walks
Duck-walked to the island. Reversed it back with reverse duck walks—a crowd favorite… for no one.

Dealer’s Choice Transportation
One PAX called Power Skips all the way to the entrance. No shame. Full commitment.

Final Mosey to COT for Mary
Closed it out with:
• Worst Worst LBCs
• Dying Cockroaches
• Standing Twists

Announcements
• 401K Race
• Break the Dam 5K / 10K
• Christmas Convergence
• Christmas Party – signups & donations

Prayers & Praises – CSPAN Style
Brothers sharing what’s happening in their lives. Exactly how the morning should end.
