Chicken Nuggies

Leave a comment

It was a beautiful rainy morning after the superbowl. Thankful for all the PAX showing up. Quick disclaimer then we crossed 160 to Braden. Every time we passes the sign it was 12 merkins. Run down to the clubhouse for a simple plan in chicken nuggies increments:
6 burpees, 12 mtn climbers, 18 LBCs, run loop clockwise. Loop is up hill to sign, right down 160 to next Braden entrance, take a right and follow Emory back to clubhouse. 6 jump squats, 12 CDDs, 18 American Hammers, run loop in opposite direction. Keep repeating until time. Jog back to rainy COT. Gazelles got 5 loops in, others got less but everyone put the work in. Thanks for the nod Badlands!

THE THANG: Run a 4 mile loop: https://f3thefort.com/2022/02/25/stl-just-keep-going/ (if you wanna see the route. side note: it wasn’t my first rodeo on this route)

Stop along the way for deconstructed burpees:

10 plank jump ins
run
10 squats
10 plank jump ins
10 merkins
run

10 SSH
run
Repeat the full 5 steps each subsequent stop

PAX were advised to just jump in where the most guys were when they got to the exercises, or to skip the exercises entirely and just keep running.

When we stretch to a route that necessitates covering 4 miles, YHC gets worried about leaving PAX. We managed to stay together and Fishstix + Badlands picked up the 6 today making sure we all arrived back at COT resting on 4 miles. Bravo gentlemen!

NMM:
Sometimes we have to choose the hard thing ourselves. Sometimes we have to choose to do the hard thing that life is handing us. If we skirt away from doing the what’s difficult when needed, what worse thing will be waiting for us in the future?
