Who needs drill bits?

WARMUP: pledge and run to WEP entrance…got in a few merkins and tree hugging while we waited for 6
THE THANG: we’re doing laps.

At the second swing bench you will stop for 10 merkins and 20 in cadence flutters. Run at a 1 mile pace to first swing bench and dial it back to 5k pace until you reach second bench…that’s pretty much about it.

What I noticed is I ran at the 1 mile faster pace most of the time so didn’t really follow instructions. Also ran low on 3 mile min so tried to have guys run at 3 swing benches but it was a little bit of a lost cause at the end. Headed back at 5:55.
MARY: old bay led some Mary at the end
ANNOUNCEMENTS: definitely
COT: for sho

Gratitude Reminder

WARMUP: None. Only HIMs, none needed

THE THANG: 3 runners tackled 4-5 miles down Jackson, up Harris, back via spratt and misc trek through Whiteville Park.

5 ruckers tackled the Jackson/Harris/Massey loop plus some WEP time.

All left COT under the initial rays of Mr Sun up at least 1-0 on the day. Sprocket and Old Bay left up 2-0 after a double down.

COT: Blessed by the presence of Cornhole! he reminded all pax of the truly powerful source The Fort is to fuel each of us. he knows it well bc of the absence in his daily life since his move to Chester. may those of us who drink from this fountain truly appreciate what it offers!

Thanks to virgin Dawn Patrol pax (Quack and CK) for adding DP to their itinerary. we’re gaining traction — 8 pax is a new site record!

Thanks to Cake Boss for passing the baton to me in his absence. always an honor to lead.

Run or ruck

WARMUP:
THE THANG: run 4 miles
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS:was a lot of fun running this morning. Did learn about OldBay new health monitor to tell him if he has had enough sleep, if h he is in his target heart rate, and a lot of other really cool stuff. He and I might differ on State schools but both like technology. Twister and Cakeboss are really getting after the runs and sprocket likes to double down. Delorean gets his in even if at the wrong location.

Do Great Things Today

After the disclaimer, we began our journey around town. First stop, the pharmacy for some warm-ups (SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Fast Windmills, Merkins, Peter Parker, Parker Peters). Next Stop, the former location known as Hardees. Partner exercises: Elevated merkins, feet on back of partner in plank position. Second set, planking partner elbows on ground.
Next stop, Post Office. Lineman push – partner 1 pushes partner 2, flipflop.
Next stop, Unity Church. Partner wheel barrow to the stairs of the church, each rest break 5 merkins. flipflop. mosey to Footloose parking lot. One partner started the bear crawl to the end of the parking lot. Partner 2 ran to the end and back to take over for partner 1. Both finished at the end of the parking lot. Next , we moseyed to the bottom Williamson St. All you got to the top of the hill. Once all made it up the hill, I took a minute to talk about how I get ready for the day. Take a shower after the workout (good hygiene). I look into the mirror and repeat these word “I am going to do great things today.” Sounds a little silly, but we need men ready to lead in our communities..do great things.
ok, back to the workout..on our way back to COT, we stopped by the Print Shop for a pitcher of pull-ups. Back to COT for a few minutes of Mary.
Great job Guys!
