4 Season of a Man’s Life

Leave a comment

Run to the hill by the football stadium. Stopped at each light pole for 8 HR Merkins. Once at the top we planked for the 6. 40 merkins total.

Continued to mosey past the church and armory. Entered back into the high school by the gym where we circled up.

With an impending birthday I have been reflecting a lot on where I am during my life. One such message that resonated with me is the idea that a man’s life is divided up into seasons. As a result the theme for today was the 4 seasons of a man’s life. I tried to mirror the workout with the nature of each season.

Season 1. : Spring Age 0-20. Theme is Identity.

This stage of a man’s life a man determines who he is, what skills he has, and what are his limitations.

SSH IC x10
Seal Jacks ICx10
Plan Jacks IC x10
Mountain Climber x10.

Did 2 rounds at 10 reps IC then 1 round of 20 IC to get to 40 IC reps in total for each exercise.

Ran to the next corner of the big parking lot for Summer

Season 2 : Summer Age 20-40 Theme is Learning and Growing

This stage of mans life is perfecting your skill set, and distinguishing your expertise for the good of society. How do you prioritize the things in your life (work v life balance). How do you establish family and your role in the community.

10 HR Merkins IC
10 Squats
10 Merkins IC
10 Lunges OYO

Repeated this 4 times to get to 40 reps of each exercise.

Run to the next corner of the parking lot for Fall

Season 3 : Fall Age 40-60 Theme is Influence

Key questions for this stage Have I achieved what I wanted to, can my mistakes be redeemed, and how to avoid having a mid-life crisis. Another key thing is to think about how you can influence the next generation. Particularly your family and close friends.

For this round of exercises I did a Tabata format

40 seconds on 20 seconds off.

Burpees
Catalina Wine Mixers
Bombjacks
HR Merkins

With time running out we ran to COT for the last season.

Season 4: Winter Theme is Investment.

At this stage you should have composure maturity and insight. You don’t see others as competition but as an opportunity to mentor and invest in the next generation. The greatest danger at this stage is for a man to believe he can no longer contribute. Of course in F3 we know this to be a lie. We have HIM’s all throughout the Fort as examples of what it is to be mentors, champions and examples.

The exercises at this stage were:

40 BBS
40 LBC’s IC
40 4-ct Flutter Kicks IC
40 American Hammers IC

With 8 seconds left I ended the workout…….with 5 more burpees OYO.

Honored to spend this day and this morning with the men of F3, members of my shieldlock and at Laces IN one of my favorite AO”s.

Until next time…..

Longest 11 ever

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, Downdog
THE THANG:
Mosey to the school for a round of 11’s.
Breakdance merkins(double count) on one side.
Crunchy frogs(in cadence) on the other side.
Distance between points was approximately 0.2mi.
No one got through all 11. Maybe it was too far?

Thanks for the opportunity to come run with the high performance HIM’s of the Fort. I’m always impressed by the showing and the effort laid down.

With Not more the 15 seconds to Spare

Leave a comment

Still reeling from how Cubbie measures shapes and distance, I took the reins to the Stockcade for the first time. These southern PAX also were reminded of the great term Rotary!(vs traffic circle)

Disclaimer was given no FNGs present

Quick mosey across the parking lot.

Warm up:
-15 SSH
—15 windmills
—15 Cherry Pickers

Mosey to Church Lot

Doings double 11’s
Church lot: Merkins and plank jacks
Rotary: Jump Squats and Burpees

With 180 seconds to spare we headed back to COT where we met up with Chuppacabra.

Prayers for marriageS, those in hospice, health of the kids.

Thankful for the opportunity to lead a great group of PAX

Abs-olutely worth it!

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey to back lot behind Red Bowl where I thought I’d warm up the PAX, but Pothole brought to my attention the freight trucks parked there and the sleeping drivers. So I continued to the round about before the apartment where we performed 10x SSH, 10x Hillbilly Walkers and a bit of broga including down dog(deep calf stretch), honeymooner and some cat/cow to stretch out the PAX.
THE THANG: Since we moseyed past my original starting position I decided to call and audible and bring the PAX through the apartments and over to the entry road where the firehouse is located. At the stop sign we partnered up for an AROD. 300x LBCs, 200x IC Mountain Climbers, 100 Big Boi Sit-ups and 50 Absolutions. This was a new exercise to many so I gave them a demo. Much mumble chatter on this one, if you haven’t tried it, give it a go, the PAX involved will certainly Thank you! After that we moseyed back past the freighters, behind Teeter and over to the wall where we did some wall sits with a “PAX PIX”. While we all grabbed some wall, I had the PAX think of an exercise in their heads and one by one each ran to the other side of the wall while I called on each by name to call out whatever they were thinking and the PAX on the other side had to perform 10x and run back. After we all took a turn there, we all moseyed back to COT.
MARY: Ab-lab for 4 minutes, each PAX getting a turn to call cadence.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Pothole is organizing a brew ruck of sorts as a charity event for his buddy Aaron. Check Slack for details. Word is there is a sweet patch for anyone donating $20 or above.
COT: Prayers for those and families dealing with loss, sickness and treatments. Prayers for travel mercies.
