Mardi Gras is celebration before discipline—Lent follows.

Life works the same way.
We enjoy wins. We celebrate. But discipline is what builds the man.

In work. In marriage. With kids.
The parade is fun. The grind is what makes you king.

Stay consistent. Stay accountable.

Homestead Route

WARMUP: Not at this AO. But YHC did jump a lot from 5:10-5:14 (Q-drenaline)

THE THANG: Run to WillowBrook and back via Orchard Park Elementary. Proof: https://www.strava.com/activities/17574144266

MARY: Might have passed her on the route, not sure.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Sign up for Bethel Men’s Shelter THIS THURSDAY! The need is great, the workers are few.

NMM: I articulated the route as starting out towards the QT, but then immediately ran the wrong direction. Nobody said anything. 😥 (Retread and I corrected the route, but come on men!)

When the leader doesn’t do what they said they’d do, other leaders should speak up. Our community needs your voice. Hold each other accountable.

Neese’s was almost the death of us

WARMUP: Yes, IW; HW; some yoga.
Introduced the reverse burpee (you go down on your 6, lay on your back, and then return to standing for a jump). Stagecoach busted his wrist and YHC was tired of seeing him modify.
THE THANG:
Found a wall
10 stepups (each leg)
10 derkins
10 bulgarian split squats (each leg)
10 irkins
Found another wall (it was stupid high)
10 stepups (single leg) this was dumb
10 derkins this was also dumb but not as much

found a moderatle parking lot
10 mike tysons
bear crawl
10 curb alberts
crawl bear
10 mike tysons
lunge walk
10 curb alberts
reverse lunge walk
10 mike tysons
burpee broad jump
(the sprinklers came on and YHC didn’t want a complete mutiny)
mosey back to the dry side for
10 curb alberts

Mosey back by the wall and hit it again

A 60lb sandball was at COT
One man did an over the shoulder lift
Everyone else held a squat down and raised up when the ball hit the ground. Return to the held squat for the next guy to do a lift. 15 guys….
Rinse and Repeat with Split Squats and a reverse burpee

NMM:It’s nice to be motivated to workout, but falling in love with the process of acceleration is even better. That can survive a waning motivation. Or maybe it just is motivation itself?
