When the Storms Come

WARMUP: a pre-workout chat with two FM cops sheltering from the storm
THE THANG: We roamed Kingsley in the windy rain thrown at us by the remnants of Hurricane Debby. Multiple laps around the development including a few treks through the stairways were interspersed with some pain under cover at Carolina Ale House. Much fellowship and sharpening throughout related to facing the storms of life. Old Bay and his M have faced storms from her recent boit with Thyroid cancer. My M and I have been battling potential health issues with a grandbaby poised to be born in Oct and potential surgery related to the digestive front for my M.

+ Leaning into a strong foundation is critical at the times WHEN the storms arrive. They’re coming at some point, so keep building that foundation
+ Keep the walls tight and avoid letting worry seep into cracks. Worry is worshipping the problem.
MARY: yes, she showed up without concern for the rain
COT: Grateful for F3 and for the fellowship of Old Bay on this challenging day!

3 Lessons of Marcus Aurelius

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,
Cyclops :eye:
