With Not more the 15 seconds to Spare

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

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.

Takin’ it back old school because I’m an old fool

Leave a comment

WARMUP: we ran up the hill on Massey into the big parking lot to circle up. Started with some SSH and stopped pretty quick to get in cadence. 5 burpee penalty. Started over with SSH in cadence…stopped again to get in cadence. 3 burpee penalty. Started again and stayed in cadence for the most part. Moved on to sumo squats, merkins, shoulder taps, up and down dog, and finished with some back stretching.
THE THANG: From the parking lot, we ran down the grass hill over to the small lot with the wall that used to have nails sticking out (we didn’t find any of those). We did 7s here with burpees at the bottom, jump the wall, and donkey kicks at the top.

Finished here and had a short run over to the “step up” wall. Before we left the parking lot, we were reminded we have one mouth and 2 ears and if we’re thinking of our responses before someone else is done speaking, are we truly listening??

Made it to the step up wall where we did 11s. Steps up were both legs (bad idea here) and we did decline ranger merkins for the other half of our 11s (10+1, 9+2…1+10).

Left here with the plan to go to LBJ church and with 15 min left, we Omaha’s back to the big parking lot. Dora was the plan and previous site Q Bobber suggested running up and down the big hill…so we did. Partner up and Dora was: 100 diamond merkins, 200 jump squats, 300 flutters 2 count…which no one made it to flutters.
MARY: 5 min to spare we ran back to COT for MARY. Both Jackelope and State Farm got a chance to call cadence and crushed it!
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots! Check out the newsletter! Dam to dam is coming so look for Sept 1 sign up!
COT: welcomed Stiletto who was visiting Maximus from TX, and Wegmans has 13 weeks to perfect his smoking craft as he takes care of that new baby!
