16 at for the Clovis.

150 burpee pull-up
10 mile run
Partition as desired. We did 15 burpee-pull-ups and run 1 mile. Rinse and repeat

One of the simplest and hardest workouts. Nobody finished even half of it

– ’s shoulders have to bear the weight of his arms
– left early in protest
– wants to know if anyone’s finished that workout ever
– is crushing it. Keys to success: being a site Q
– we lost only to find him right at name-o-rama (introvert energy)
– didn’t ask if I wanted to carpool
– & batflipped to some Mary a tad early
– is ’s medical consult
– believes retribution will be had at his VQ on Friday
– took the over
– hardest working Gen Zer in the Fort?
– couldn’t be caught (by me at least) on the last mile

Listen, you could rub your overheating body against the ROTC building because the condensation on the outside wall is much cooler than the air temperature. But it still won’t make burpee pull-ups easy, nor will it verify this report better than , , or

But they’d have to check slack to make it happen….

“We must all suffer from one of two pains: The pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is that discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.” John Rohn

Each day we have the option to take the daily red pill in an effort to get better. So many men live in regret wishing they would have taken care of their body in their younger years. So many men wish they would have found balance with their work and relationships. We are living the lives they wish they would have. We have the opportunity every day to build the legacy for our children. We can either be their example to follow or the motivating factor to break the cycle.

Keep pushing. Your kids are watching.

Aye!

Run stadium steps till time

Finished off workout with Airborne hip exercises. Dark Helmet is not a fan so he didn’t participate.

Great work by all Pax. It was extremely hot and humid but they all pushed to get through at least the last round of bear crawl. Leaders were running stadium steps when time was called.

This was a workout created to honor DEA Special Agent Terry Watson. Who was killed in Bogota Colombia June 20, 2013.

Workout was modified, but it still sucked.

3 Lessons of Marcus Aurelius

Leave a comment

WARMUP: off to Kimbrell’s after being disclaimed. PAX did LSS, Windmills (approved by Trucker), imperial walkers, hillbilly walkers and 50 side straddle hops – with a declining number of burpees (not approved by Trucker) in between exercises. From there – Mosey to Unity Presbyterian

THE THANG: lesson 1 – The happiness of your life correlated to the quality of your thoughts.
10 burpees followed by 7’s – Diamond merkins at the top of the driveway and squats at the bottom. Plank for the 6 or go get them.

Mosey to First Baptist for lesson 2

Lesson 2 – If you’re distressed by anything external, it is not due to the thing itself, but your estimate of it. And this you possess: the power to revoke it at any moment.

More 7’s – diamond Merkins at one end, run to the opposite end of the lot for squats and repeat until the sequence is complete.

Mosey to downtown Fort Mill on Main Street to find benches – 10 Bulgarian split squats each leg (for a notably absent Band Camp) and provide lesson 3

Lesson 3 – The best revenge is to be unlike the one who performed the injury.

Mosey to COT for a few AB exercises – but just a few – then 0600 was upon us.

MARY: See above
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Summer of CSAUPS
COT: 5th core principle

Thanks to Soup To Nuts for the call. Always grateful to post in the gloom with group of HIMs.

Honored,
