Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, MCs, Parker Peter, Peter Parker, Plank, L/R planks,. Mosey to back parking lot, cariaco
THE THANG: Muster on the grassy patch in back parking lot where we started, left, and returned a few times. Running took us to the south wall of HT, the tire shop and the north wall of HT in between stops at the grass. Pax fit 100 burpees into the workout in doses of 10. Other fun included bear crawl, crawl bear, crab walks, lunges, various flavors of Mary, and it was all topped off with suicides.
MARY: Included along the way
ANNOUNCEMENTS: New name of HT workouts Wed/Fri is The Forge! also encouragement to register for Break the Dam run on 1/31, plus 8-blocker on Jan 3rd at Panera
COT: Encouragement for pax to bring some closure to 2025 before starting 2026 by reviewing photos on their phone from Thanksgiving through Christmas period. This practice always grounds me and give me perspective. It especially deflates anxious thinking/feeling about future and various regrets/shame by providing a very real and visible depiction of the true blessings and joy in my life.

Thanks for the invite Miyagi! Carry on with your mission of forging HIM!

10×10 and Hard Part of Massey

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Quick run up to Hobo’s for some warm-up of a few SSH, IWs, and Mountain Climbers. Most down to the mill stone at the bottom of Main to find the 10×10 board waiting.

THE THANG:
The 10×10 board.
1. Shoulder Taps
2. Squats
3. Mountain Climbers
4. Seal Jacks
5. Hello Dollys
6. Plank Jacks
7. Bomb Jacks
8. Merkins
9. LBCs
10. Burpees

We started with 10 of #1, then ran to the top of Massey, did 1 burpee, then returned to the board. Next round 10 of #1, and 10 of #2, then ran to the top of Massey for 1 burpee (not 2). Continued accumulation until we got through the last item on the board.

That’s all we had time for. Excellent work by all men. Thanks for the opportunity to lead, Cubbie!

Welcome to Chilis!

Leave a comment

It was a beautiful morn at The Americal Jackal, the mumble chatter was off the charts. All the Q could do to dodge haymakers was lean into it and say thank you sir many I have another.

We ran down to the track for the longest 4 corners EVER! There was a dispute of if there really are corners on a circular track, but that is purely semantics.

I chose the number 8 for no particular reason other than 12 was too many and 6 was too few. It’s science.

Corner 1: 8 Merkins
Corner 2: 8 Squats
Corner 3: 8 Flutters
Corner 4: 8 Burpees

Mode of transport on the curved part of the track was lunges, karaoke, and nurring. Mode of transport on the straight aways was fast paced running.

I would like to say we did all of them, but we only got 6 laps in. So maybe 6 wasn’t too few after all.

We Native American ran back to COT for some Mary, announcement, prayers and praises.

Varsity has graduated to retirement

Leave a comment

WARMUP: started out with a quick mosey, went into SSH then merkins, then more running and SSH and more merkins. Ran some more, then cherry pickers, and more merkins…also did some stretches. Ran over to pull up bars.
THE THANG: Grabbed a cindy. Planned for some 7s. 1 pull up, 1 manmaker, overhead carry down the hill, then 6s at the bottom of the hill for squat thrusters. Then overhead carry back up the hill- just did this for 1 round with the overhead carry’s.

Then 2 and 5, etc. This took a long time.

We then ran over to the benches for incline and decline merkins. Then did more merkins on the way to COT.
MARY: out of time like Marty McFly
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Xmas eve convergence and Jan 1 homeless shelter
COT: bingo, lots of praises and prayers, aging parents and holiday travel

Adding Gardenia

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Not typically done at this AO. Try to get here early enough to manage yourself.
THE THANG:
Run towards Gardenia every stop sign we did and additional merkin starting with 1. There are 10 stop signs.

7s on the hill – burpees and bomb jacks. We only got two rounds in. That hill is hard

Run back with merkins the same way. Total merkins 110.

MARY:
Throw the 60lb sandball over your shoulder once when you get back

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Xmas party

COT: was held.

If during your childhood the holidays were nothing but joy and wonder—never realizing how many people spend this season hurting over loss, stress, or heartache—then what an amazing gift your parents gave you. Think about that now that we’re the men creating a holiday environment in the depths of winter for our families.
