Do The Work – Get Sore

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Run almost 2 parking lot laps then circle up at the base of the hill at the entrance of the school property.
Typical warm culprits: SSH, Merkins, Squats, Wind Mills
THE THANG:
50% effort run to the stop sign at Whites Rd, 25 Merkins
Run back to the start, 20 Squats
75% effort run to stop sign, 15 Carolina Dry Docks
Run back to the start, 10 Jump Squats
100% effort run to the stop sign, 5 Diamond Merkins

Mosey past the start and continue to the parking lot adjacent to the stadium entrance for a bear crawl accumulator.
Bear crawl 3 parking lot spaces then 2 Carolina Dry Docks
Bear crawl another 3 spaces then 3 CDDs.
Bear crawl another 3 spaces then 4 CDDs.
Continue the trend until the end of the lot.
3/4 of the way through this evolution, I was reminded of a message that has been ringing in my head frequently. I shared this with the PAX:
“Everybody wants to be strong but nobody wants to be sore.”
This is a reference to wanting the hardship to pass while reaping the rewards of the finish product. As we all know, growth happens in the journey, long before you reach the finish line. Embrace the soreness.

Now, crawl bear back to the starting line then make our way to the goal line on the football field. We’ll be performing a modified “corners” evolution.
10 Flutter Kicks I/C, Run across the field to the other side of the same goal line for 10 Flutter Kicks I/C, Run 100yds to the other goal line but on the same side of the field for 10 Flutter Kicks I/C then across the field for 10 more Flutter Kicks I/C.
Now, run to the 20yd line and execute the same evolution while performing 10 American Hammers I/C at the stops.
Now, run to the 40yd line with 10 LBCs at the corners.
Make our way back to the start for a 100yd sprint then a 100yd NUR back.
Make our way back to the parking lot and run back to COT with a few stops for a Merkin variety along the way.
Lastly, 1min elbow plank hold.
Remember, don’t shy away from doing the hard work in life and embracing the soreness. Additionally, don’t assume you’ll get a fresh start to tackle a challenge because after all, nobody cares what you can do fresh.

MARY: Integrated throughout
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Newsletter
COT: For Sure

A Run Down Memory Lane

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Some stretching and excellent mumblechatter in the parking lot.
THE THANG: Back when Seabiscuit first started up, the area was by no means as developed as it is now. I decided to resurrect an old Seabiscuit OG route – head down Whites Rd. Except this time instead of running along the FM Parkway to Whites, we cut through the neighborhood by the middle school, then down Whites to the first roundabout. Back in the day it mostly ended there, out and back. We were able to dip into Waterside to the roundabout on Bryson Gap, then back to COT. Back in the day we saw more deer and heard more coyotes. Now we heard one coyote but saw a ton of cars. The route is still pretty safe, has some good, albeit misleading hills. They’re adding sidewalk all down Whites from the Parkway to Waterside. Once that’s done, this will be an excellent, safer route. Overall abput 4.2 miles round trip.
MARY: None
ANNOUNCEMENTS: FAST FIVE!!
COT: A lot of good P&P lifted up.

Don’t be afraid to share your burdens in COT. Guys tend to hold them in. That can be terrible for your mental and physical health.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
SYITG. Blessings
