WARMUP: I forgot to write backblast so this is not the whole truth….
THE THANG: run to bank and do SSH until 6, run to bottom of hill and do IW till 6, run to basketball nets and do something (forget) till 6. This I know is true: Mossy to first light pole. 15 LBCs then run up the hill to the 9th light pole and do 15 LBCs and come back. Then run to 8th pole and 15 LBCs and come back. Continue this by reducing a light pole. The cheetahs got to about 4 light poles the turtles I think 6. All in all about 4 miles total. It SUCKED

It was an honor to be able to lead the workout this morning. This was diffident from most workouts because of the number of times we stopped to talk. However I felt it important to share with the guys what is happening around them. We also were able to congratulate Double D in his hand off of Nantan to Esso. Double D, thank you for you service to the pax. You have always been someone who ask the tough questions that challenge us and I thank you for that and what you did for our Region during your reign as Nantan. Esso, I look forward where you are going to take us and your energy to lead. We have a bright future ahead.

The 3 costs of leadership

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey to springs building lot for various exercises with 2 burpees in between each. Mosey to the pike energy lot for act 1

THE THANG: Cost #1 – You will have to make hard decisions that negatively affect people you care about.
Partner up for Dora
100 – Boxcutters
200 – Squats
300’- Flutters

Mosey to Act 2 at Subway
Cost #2 – You will be disliked despite your attempts to do the best for the most
Dora – Same partner, new count
50 – Burpees
100 – Merkins
150 – Squats

Mosey to bank lot for a plank and act 3:
Cost #3 – You will be misunderstood and will not always have the opportunity to defend yourself.
Mosey to the WEP running path – with 12 minutes to go YHC called 5 burpees, 10 squats and 15 SSH’s at each swing. It was a bit aggressive. Modified to 5 hand release merkins from the 4th swing on.

JWOW found his landholdings at WEP to be in good working order, so we proceeded and
all finished in time for COT at 0730.

YHC is also pleased to report that the perceived minimum burpee requirement of Slapahot’s was also reached – all of them.

MARY: No time – had work to finish
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Go pick up trash afterward. So many PAX did.
COT: 5th core principle

Thanks to Grinder for the call. Always a privilege to lead where it all started.

Running Street Jackson

Leave a comment

Tried to make a pun on an Outkast song lyric “I’m sorry Ms. Jackson” by saying “We’re running street Jackson.” But much like running Jackson Street, it wasn’t funny. (Although I laughed)

Ran for a mile
Core work for the 6
5 burpees
10 hand release merkins
16 split squats (8 each leg)

Rinse and Repeat

Keep after it. Awesome to see guys that don’t typically run 3+ miles in the gloom crush it today.

Warm-up began with short mosey to church parking lot. Some pax were lucky enough to carry a sandbag. Teams of three were formed, luckily we had just enough to form six teams. Seven rounds of exercises, team members rotated to each exercise. The first exercise (motion) acted as the clock. Once complete, rotate to next exercise.

Round Motion Exercise 1 Exercise 2
1 Run to church Squat with SB SSHs
2 Sandbag carry H/R Merkin LBCs
3 Inch Worm merkins Flutter/press Calf Raise
4 Sandbag toss Shoulder Taps Jump Squats
5 Burpee Broad Jump Diamond Merkin S. Press
6 Lunge walk w/bag Carolina Dry Dock Hello Dollies
7 Bear Crawl Man Maker American H

Most got through round 6, need to adjust cone distance or save the workout for 1hr.
Great job everyone!
