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

Merkin Filled Zipper

Leave a comment

This is Band Camp reporting for the work-swamped Fire Marshall Bill and the 16 other PAX at minnow pond on 8/4. Looks like y’all ran a zipper and did merkins? This report has not been verified, but I think the tags are accurate

Coupons Around Kingsley

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
After coming in Hot…I presented a couple of coupons to the group and we discussed the 5 core principles for the benefit of our FNG. Unfortunately, we will need to practice those so that EVERY man knows them. (it was a little rough)

THE THANG:
Once we stumbled through the 5 core principles we were off. This was my first post at Sole to Soul so I wasn’t 100% sure of the logistics or area. I was simply told rucking with exercises so I planned to deliver.
I provided a 60 lb sandbag and a 35 lb kettle bell to carry as well and the PAX were instructed to bring them along.
Our first stop was behind Epic Chophouse where we circled up and did some movements:
Slow Low Squat
Merkins
Overhead Press
Bicep Curls
SSH (slick)
We then moved to behind Replay. Here we partnered up and played a little “catch me if you can”. FNG Half Pint took this very serious and Riggins had very little chance of catching him!
After we completed some Moroccan Night Clubs we did a full lap around the Kingsley property. Halfway around we found a traffic circle for Bear Crawls followed by some Overhead claps.
Upon returning to Broadcloth street we found a gravel area for some more movements:
Squat Thrust
Swings
Bicep Curls
SSH
We then moved to COT. The fun wasn’t over as we found benches and did 20 Dips and then calf raises with rucks overhead.

MARY:
We finished with some Mary including:
Flutters w/press
LBCs
Hello Dolly’s w/Ruck press
Freddie Mercury’s
1 minute plank with Ruck

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Read Newsletter….Invergence….Bethelmens
COT:
Healing, Wisdom, and thankful for F3

Just go.

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH 20, low slow squats 10, 5 burpees…go time
THE THANG: Being DR all last week and no working out, aside from eating and drinking, made this a bit more sucky than it needed to be but the only way to jump in is with both feet. So running with push-ups got the call.

Here’s what we got: every .25 miles = 25 merkins. After mile 1 and mile 1.75 (which is top of the hill in the back of the school), we waited for the six doing flutters.

Simple but effective. Total mileage was between 3-3.5. Some of us (🙋‍♂️) owe a few more merkins as form started to suffer or time to get back was creeping up.
MARY: More flutters and American hammers.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Final countdown CSAUP, QSource on Tuesday Baxter SBUX, be there!
COT: Change Order and his family, kids going off to camps, travel
