We are all vessels of something – what are you a vessel of?

Rainy day

Leave a comment

7 men showed up for a rainy day. YHC was not feeling it, but I had route planned and was on Q so I showed up. YHC decided to ruck with Crabcakes and Assasin while 3 others may or may not have taken the route I suggested.

Motto for the day:
Showing up is half the battle

I’m Good

Leave a comment

Cold but not too cold at the Ran h.

Started with brief warmup then ran to the school drop off circle.

At the circle we partnered up and played catch me if you can for 4 laps around the circle.

To give the pax a break I talked a bit about what being “good” means. Several years ago I thought I was “good”. Ppl would ask how are you … “I’m good “.

Truth is I wasn’t . I wasn’t healthy , I wasn’t happy and I wasn’t my best self. Thankfully I joined F3 and realized what good actually meant. If I want to run fast… I surround myself with faster ppl.

After that we did a Tabata focusing on legs, shoulders, abs and a Jack series to keep us moving.

Got back in time to COT for som flutters.

Thanks to rainmaker for the opportunity!!!

Butt kickers
High knees
Soccer hips
Broga

THE THANG:
Daytona 500
5 exercises 25 reps each for 4 laps
Merkins
Squats

Total of 500 reps when completed and roughly one mile.

With some time to spare we bear crawled a little and crawl beared a little too.

Thankfully the bakery was in full working order and the dumpster smells were not. We worked hard enough for all Pax to have one doughnut.
