Muggy morning but 20, yes 20 PAX showed their intestinal fortitude by taking on the board of pain. Several new comers to the board and everyone did great! We even had an FNG brought by Mater. It was also my 50th birthday! Honored for everyone to come out and work hard.

It’s always a pleasure to start the weekend with some friends in the park. Though we could have done without the heat and humidity, it nonetheless set us on the right path for the day. Happy birthday, boys. Hope it was a good one!

Room for Balls

Leave a comment

The Thang: A little warm up and a jog to the track where some sort of Baxter Pineapple thing was going on. There were men, women, and children all exercising together… sketchy if you ask me… but then again, you didn't ask me…
We started the main event with a burpee half mile, 5 at each “corner” for two laps. Those of us that elected to wear our training bras weren't the biggest fans, but that's the way life goes sometimes. Shifted gears to a Midget Dora (50-75-100) with a 50yd run.
Cohiba’s watch started talking dirty to him at that point and so we departed to separate ourselves from the dudes running with other dudes’ wives…
Ended with a 4-corner jaunt and a jog back for some Mary.

NMM: Whatever you gotta do, freaking do it. Ask for help, make a plan, it doesn't matter. The main thing is, stop making excuses, stop stopping, and do the thing.

CVS, Walgreens..What’s the difference? 2 miles

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Headed over to Walgreens for typical warm-ups (SSHs, WMs, IWs, CPs). Next we partnered up for a DORA (Merkins, Squats, LBCs). In error, I said for partner 2 to run around CVS which is 2 miles away. After the awkward silence, I quickly corrected myself and said Walgreens.
Next we moseyed to the wall behind the oil service place. Same partners, one ran around the building while the other performed an exercise (Step ups, Dips, Erkins)
I traveled to the back of Harris Teeter for wall sits. Pax on each end bear crawled out to the curb, 5 merkins, crawl bear back. Next round, lunge walk, squat, reverse lunge. We got to experience the aromatic scents of the trash barrel bottom.
We made our way to the front parking lot. Back to the partner exercises. Each team grabbed a boulder, +2 squat thrusters at each parking space line. Partner 2 ran to the second light pole and back. Each team finished at the 20 thruster mark.
Back to COT

Round 2 – attempt to do more than round 1. Ran low on time for the final 3 exercises

MARY: No time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter
COT: Remains the 5th core principle
NMM:
The Q is responsible for the outcome of any exercise. YHC had not led a kettlebell workout in some time, and it may have showed.

The final 3 exercises of round 2 were unable to be done by 0600 due to YHC's lack of planning. Thankfully the PAX were gracious and willing to reduce their final intervals to 30 seconds in order to make it to COT in time for 0600.

I suppose it could alternatively be argued that the weinke was enough to take us just past 0600 and, in that moment, learned the application of modify as necessary.

Either way, thanks Bam Bam for the opportunity to lead.

Gratefully.
