The Fort’s 1st Ever Ruck & BOWLING Workout

Leave a comment

WARMUP: squats with spinal rotations and hamstring lengthening; plank exercises and mix in upward<>downward dog holds
THE THANG: Rucks on, carry 1-2 bowling pins, 1 pax carrying a 20# ball; ruck ~.2 miles, circle up and perform in cadence one set of one of the following exercises [1. squat hold with arm circles holding the bowling pin; 2. lunge hold with shoulder flexion overhead holding the bowling pin; 3. lateral lunge hold with shoulder abduction (lateral flexion) holding the bowling pin; 4. plank and gravediggers while holding the bowling pin]; THEN all pax places the pin in triangle formation, takes 10 walking lunge paces away from the bowling pin triangle, one pax “bowls” the 20# ball, and the number of remaining pins equals the number of manmakers that had to be completed; strikes were rewarded with 10 merkins.
BROGA: warriors and prayer twists
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Kenya workout on Saturday
COT: We landed an FNG via a passerby while doing broga at the end. Strongly believe he (Mr. Burns) will be returning. Thanks for the Q opportunity, Sprocket!

Take More Risk

Leave a comment

THE THANG:
National Trail Day begged for trails run. So did Pusher’s trail shoes he hadn’t used. Glorious morning in the Gloom, with lively pax and a virgin trail journey by Assassin.

For those keeping score, we covered 5.5-6 miles by cruising down 160 to horse barn Greenway entrance, right down no name trail to the service rd to Cantrell to Lake Haigler for a pause at Badger Memorial bench/tree to pay respects to loop around Lake back to Timberline trail on far side to Kingsley trail to back entrance to Kingsley taking us home.

along the way there were stops to “water” the foliage, hydrate via normal ingestion or a swim (Olaf) and plenty of mumblechatter.

COT: Message today honored Badger and Pusher together. Badger’s early passing proves we aren’t guaranteed anything. Pusher’s desire to take on trails along with many late age humans wishing they’d played the game of life more aggressively as they come to the end teaches us to #TakeMoreRisk as we live each day

thanks for the Q stick Pusher!
