COT: 5th Core Principle
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.
WARMUP: Short mosey around the small parking lot which led into the larger parking lot where I had the Belle Ringer IPC wo laid out. Performed a few SSH & Burpees while explaining the format of the workout. Time to work.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Food Drive happening now. Thanksgiving Convergence at the Ranch

NMM:
When you find yourself at the end of the road, your left with the same resources that got you there. Gotta use them to get moving again!
I heard a reference to a “second starting” line in terms of my mammon (teaching music). That is: once we learn the notes and rhythms, there’s a second starting line. We’re finally ready to make art rather than simply craft.
When you hit end of a road, turn around and think of it as the second starting line. Ain’t nothing to it, but to do it.
WARMUP: mosey around and did some reps of the exercises at each station that the workout would have. Hand release merkins, mountain climbers, calf raises, step ups, dips, Superman’s, j los and burpees.
THE THANG: Dora work with four stations set up around campus. One partner did the stationary work while the other moseyed. Finished at one station and moved to the next.

I recently watched the below video about taking action for those relying on you. In it, Chadd Wright describes his role as a breacher in the Seal Team. He would plan the breaching of an obstacle so his team could accomplish their mission. He describes three words that took planning into action: execute, execute, execute.
That’s what people fail to do. If you don’t execute on your plan, especially when you’re tired or scared or stressed, you’re not just cheating yourself, you’re cheating those they rely on you – your family, co-workers, or team.
So ask yourself, what is one decision I’ve been avoiding making that I should instead boldly execute today? When I say, “I’ll wait until conditions are perfect,” am I actually just waiting to avoid discomfort? How clear is my “why” for the work I’m doing — and does it anchor me when things get hard?
Warmup… run to nearest parking lot with at least 10 parking spaces. Burpee at each parking line then broad jump or bunny hop between lines. x3 (30 burpees) Misc exercises between sets.
Mosey behind Dogtopia to the parking spaces doing a suicide and stopping at each line (total 12 lines). Plank for 6.
Mosey to wall of Harris Teeter facing O’Reilly for wall sits and donkey kicks. (x3)
Mosey to original parking lot for a repeat of burpee bunny hops.
WARMUP: started with a light mosey to center of the lot. Hit some SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Windmills.
THE THANG: we had 9 cards face up and the deck face down. Each number was associated with a workout. When you got one right you did 10 reps of the workout. When you got one wrong you did 10 reps and a MOW. We had about 7 cards left…
MARY: …those 7 cards turned to lightning round to wrap up on time
