Taking the Conga Line Through Life

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Bit of a mosey and short COP with mumblechatter from Bonsai on the Qs Disclaimer. No, it wasn’t perfect. It also wasn’t missed entirely (except you Bonsai).

THE THANG: Two sets of accumulator series 5x / 10x / 15x /20x / 25x with bear crawls or crawl bears in between. one series was all lower body, one all core. along the way we did a conga line mosey weaving through all the posts of the carpool awning at the school.

MESSAGE: Workout and message today were geared around life not moving in a straight line. it hasn’t for me in career, fitness, faith, marriage, finances, etc. there have been ups and downs and twists and turns. too often I fall into the trap of blaming myself or someone else for the downticks when in fact that’s just part of the journey. and in fact it’s those downticks when I have the most to learn and grow. so take the attitude about the #Suck from the Gloom and apply it to the #Suck in the rest of your life — Embrace It!

thanks for the invite Triple Lindy and the AKA spirit Funhouse and pax! always an honor to lead.

COT: It was Day 2 of AKA and we had a great showing and energy level. some new faces (FITS) and some welcome kotters (Naked and Afraid).

Timberline Trail – ASCG

Leave a comment

THE THANG:
12 PAX strong ruckes Kingsley trail to Timberljne trail. We made a push for Lake Haigler but had to turnaround at E3. Seemed like 2 ish miles. We encountered rocks, roots, terrain, river crossings, and horse manure. It was cool to look back a see a string of headlamps, bobbing through the woods. When one of us was in a valley, another was at a peak encouraging us to keep going. In your concentrica, who needs encouraging today?

NaF’s Kotter Status

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Naked and Afraid led in cadence. He’s still got it.

THE THANG: NaF tried to hand off, but I didn’t let him. So, he called 50 burpees and got himself gassed enough so that I would take over.
We did some partner dora-esque work including:
50 burpees
100 CDD
150 LBC
Bulgarian Split Squats
Bear Crawled with additive merkins
J-Los
Flutters

PAX discussed what brings us out to the gloom.
Among the answers:
The desire to be better for our families
The fellowship
Knowing we wouldn’t do this in isolation
The leadership training
Connection to Q-source
The mentorship
Starting the day up 1-0
The accountability
Associating with a group of men striving to be better
Imagine what kind of sad clowns we’d (I’d) be otherwise

An honor to lead today. Great to have NaF answer my text last night and step up to post and Q the warmup!
