12 Runners, 1 Rucker (YHC). Hey Kids: Stay In School and, next year, don’t volunteer to Q the morning after the BBQ & Bourbon fundraiser
Kept it simple, a little mosey warmup then did some crazy curtsy lunges. A lot of them. Butt was sore for days. Lots of leg exercises to help with running for later in week. We also did a good bit of an work. Finished with the usual hip exercises and all of them. Good message about getting focus off yourself and on others to make an impact.

COT: Held… raised those Said & Unsaid
Mozy around parking lot. Windmills. Merkins. Mountain climbers. More merkins.
Mozy with bell down the hill towards the bus drop off. At every light stop and a chest and leg exercise. I chose 10 chest press and 10 curtsy lunges at odd number poles. 10 squats and 10 merkins at even number poles. At bus drop off gather at bottom of hill and do 11s. 1 curtsy lunge at bottom and 10 chest press at test. Keep doing 11s up and down the hill until you reach 10 lunges and 1 chest press. Head back up hill and do arm exercises at every light. Back at COT finish with hip exercises.
Weather was fantastic at 59 degrees and YHC was excited for my VQ at Soul to Sole.
Based on a recommendation from Maximus, YHC read the Comfort Crisis and became a follower of Michael Easter who is big believer in the power of rucking. Since that time, I was gifted a ruck and have included this in my workouts more frequently yet my only Q to date was a solo workout at Dawn Patrol.
I have been thinking about the 5 Cs of leadership from Q Source recently. Q Source resonates with me on so many levels at home, work and in our community and the 5 Cs serve as the standard for Leading Right. I decided to standardize the definitions of these with the Pax as part of the workout.
The Thang
3ish miles of rucking and shuffling
5 stops along with the way with these 6 exercises:
Bent over rows x 10
Merkins x 10
Overhead Press x 10
Curls x 10
Squats x 10
Lunges x 10
At each stop, we discussed one of the 5 Cs:
Candor
Commitment
Consistency
Contentment
Courage
The fellowship, weather and beat down serve to standardize the day. My prayer is that we can begin to optimize the day.
