Link street on my heart

Leave a comment

Written by DOAH in slack: [commentary by Band Camp]

Heart Breakers: @U01NGHPR2HW and almost @U05TY21AC2X, but he uncommitted sometime last night…

The Thang: Route attached [was attached in slack, you could look up today's date on a PAX's Strava. Suffice it to say: we hit 3 miles. FMPD slow rolled our start this morning which kept YHC from running directly where I planned to go, but we made it over there another way. No complaints]. We stopped a lot and did a lot [5 each stop] of 6-Count burpees (a BC staple), [10] merkins, [15] squats, [20] flutters, with a few LBCs thrown in for bad measure. [We did an undetermined amount of these based on keeping the group together enough so nobody got lost. Kept things in cadence because that seems to help keep men accountable to actually doing the exercises. Something about pushing through pain and discomfort together. Started with just burpees. Next stop: burpees & merkins, etc.]

Moleskine: Sweat. Plenty of sweat. And some ramblings that implied some very limited understanding of the functional success of certain systems. Regardless, we went fast and didn't lose anyone along the way… except Slash… but he was lost by choice. Uptown Girl is still greatly disturbed by my presence and refused even so much as a fist bump this morning, but like a lot of folks who hate me when they first meet me (that list is long, right Crystal Lake?), I'll wear him down eventually.

COT: The Fort’tan gave a good thought about acting on those things that we feel called to do and not delaying. Prayers for EC as he heads off to get his head shaved and his spine straightened, and prayers for NASA as he sends his little bird out of the nest.

[Here's the deal. God doesn't put things on your heart for someone else to do it. Go get after it.]

Tour d’ Favorites

WARMUP: Run a bit in the Sweep parking lot then a few warm up exercises: 10 Lunges each leg, 10 Mountain Climbers I/C, 10 Carolina Dry Docks, 10 Mak Tar Jah
THE THANG: The "theme" this morning, albeit unspoken, was to run to a spot and do the work. In some cases, we'd repeat it and in others, it was a one-and-done. I know, novel idea.
Exit the lot, run to Dave Gibson and turn left onto Dave Gibson's, stopping at the bottom of the hill.
10 Diamond Merkins
10 Mountain Climbers I/C
10 Carolina Dry Docks
10 Mak Tar Jah's
Run up the hill to the small parking lot and back down.
Repeat the exercises.
Run back up and down.
When all finish the final run, run up opposite hill to the realty office. Perform:
10 Hand-Release Merkins
10 V-Ups
10 Shoulder taps (ea side)
10 Jump Lunges
Run back down then up to Ben Casey Dr.
10 Hand-Release Merkins
10 V-Ups
10 Shoulder taps (ea side)
10 Jump Lunges
Run to Discount Tire
20 Dips & 20 Peter Parkers (10 ea side)
Run to the light at the 1st Brayden entrance: Emory Lane
10 Burpees
Run through the neighborhood and down to the bottom of Brayden Parkway
15 Squats & 15 Hand-Release Merkins
Run to the top of Brayden Parkway for 5 Burpees
Wrap it up at COT for some additional Mary.

I leave it to 38 Special to verify the accuracy of my reporting.

What is a Picket?

Leave a comment

WARMUP: you’re supposed to come warmed up to Sweep the Leg

THE THANG: run towards Gardenia stopping occasionally for:
5 burpees
10 merkins
15 squats
20 lbcs
Or some variation of that. We added them up on the way out and then mostly did just the 5, just the 10, etc. on the way back

Ran Gardenia twice
Ran Savona Terrace once on the way back.

We were slightly late getting back. 38 and Change Order were not because they are smart and knew when I was on Q to skip some stuff on the way back

Spectre did stop me to check and make sure I knew where I was when we hit Savona on the way back. Next time we’ll run faster I guess
