Seamstress Last Stitch in the Fort

Leave a comment

WARMUP: not really the thing to do at Minnow Pond. Come at 0510 if you want a warmup
THE THANG: run, hard.
first stop – 1 merkin, 1 squat
2 merkins, 2 squats
Keep adding each time we stop
often we kept adding reps till the 6 was in. Then we took off again. PAX were advised to mosey when the group left and not worry about completing all the reps. Most hit 4 miles

Macgyver, Bones, and Badlands got out in front of me around mile 2 and Grout eclipsed me after mile 3. I always seem to push myself a little harder when I’m on Q at minnow pond. We have some strong and fast PAX in the Fort.

NMM: The idea was for the PAX to not know how far we were going or when we would stop. And that when we did stop, there’d be work to do. Just like our work lives that take us to new locations….

Seamstress had no idea when he came to FM that he’d be called to move so soon. Nor does he know when he’ll be called away again. Many PAX expressed gratefulness for the impact he had on us and prayers of blessing were offered (are still being offered) for his move to Chattanooga

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

Millenial

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
20 x SSH
20 x Windmill
20 x Moroccan night clubs
20 x Peter Parker’s
20 x Imperial Walkers

Mosey: shuffle left / right, karaoke left/ right, toy soldiers, nur

THE THANG:
Millenial
– PAX does 100 each exercise
– Runs a 100 M lap together
– 10 cycles total. (100 exercise + 100 m lap = 200 x 10 cycles = 2000)
– 1st person to 100, cycle ends, and we run together. Everything is complete as 1 unit.
– Faster runners plank for the 6.
– Last cycle is 100 burpees on Q.  Q can be rotating or by One Q

1) SSH
2) Lunges
3) Merkins
4) LBCs
5) Mtn Climbers
6) Flutters
7) Calf Raises
8) Dying cockroach (abs)
9) Squats
10) Burpees

How it actually ran: YHC thought 100m was too short so it ended up being a quarter mile loop. By #6 I had to shorten it back down to 100m. We ran out of time for all Burpees – it was 10 OYO at the end.

@Band Camp was the exercise and lap leader (King)
@Paddle was right behind him on the laps
@Grinder dominated the leg workouts
@Tesh destroyed the abs and merkins. Shirt remained on.
@Yardsale and @Cubbie followed in suit.

At the end, I discussed how large obstacles may seem at first. If you can tackle them as a team, you start to see progress.

Think about this in life. Find other men to do daily battle with. Learn, grow, hold each other accountable. Link up them in a Shieldlock group. Watch your King, Queen accelerate.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Prayers for kids and teachers – back to school
COT: Cubbie closed out in prayer.
