Riding the Storm Out

Leave a comment

WARMUP: none, we just got after it
THE THANG: We had a rowing machine and 6 stations. One pax was always rowing while others worked at their own station. One minute cycles then rotate. Stations included SSH w/bricks, man makers, OH press w/Cindy, OH clap w/bricks, Monkey humpers, goblet squat
MARY: yep — flutter, penguin, Superman, shoulder taps

After 30 min BD, pax shared adversities we’ve experienced — death, sickness, high risk pregnancies, addictions, marriage challenges, job losses, relocations, mental health struggles. Only 4 pax and yet we’ve seen a lot of adversity!!! Hope in these chapters came through other people, seeing the unexpected good things that emerged, holding onto faith, caring counselors, F3 brothers, staying present each day, counting the wins and not looking too far ahead.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: HIM Camp, Invergence, grass cutting at FMCC

COT: as always, 5th core principle

Pardon the Interruption

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Some movements at the green at amphitheatre
THE THANG:
10 burpees, pax run in any direction for 10 secs and return home
10 burpees, repeat run in same direction for 15 secs, return home
10 burpees, run same direction for 20 secs, return home

Starting with youngest pax (Tarzan) each pax took the group to his end point where pax did various exercises

Stop 1 = legs + burpees
Stop 2 = chest+ burpees
Stop 3 = core + burpees
Stop 4 = ground movements+ burpees
Stop 5 = burpees

Return home

Disruption was the theme today where pax didn’t know where we were going , what exercises we were doing, what reps we were counting. There were odd numbers and interrupted sequences and patterns.

We’re human, we want patterns, we want control. Sometimes life just won’t cooperate with our desires or minds. Today was proe for those times.

Thanks for the push and the perseverance. Great job, brothers!

MARY: included in the Thang
ANNOUNCEMENTS: HIM Camp, bethel, shovel Flag handoff Tue
COT: yes, as always
