Halfway there…… 10 Seconds….

Beautiful day in the Gloom. Always look forward to Q. Great turnout at the sink for my madness with a timer.

Warmup:

SSH x 15
Seal Jack x 15
Plank Jack x15
Mountain Climber x 15

Pick up something heavy get to the field

All Pax line up facing a series of cones. All Pax have to do the following with their Block or Sandbag

50 Curls
75 Flutters with Press
100 Squats
25 Man makers

Every minute on the minute they will hear a beep. When you hear the beep you move to a cone.
Mode of Transportation between cone 1 and 2 is Overhead carry. Mode of Transportation of cones 2 and 3 are murder bunny or Bag toss.
Wash rinse repeat until all reps are done.
There was also a 20 minute timer on this. All pax finished just under the 20 minutes mark.

Next Phase
All pax line up in an Indian run format. The 6 will do 5 squats. We run for a minute then do a minute of an exercise. 8 rounds.

The exercises were
Bent over rows
Lunges
Big boy sit ups
Burpee jump overs.

Did this right up until 6:00am.

Theme today was motivation. Do you rush through to get the reps done…do you take your time and try to run out the clock. Or do you have a consistent approach that maximizes your effort and results. Only you know.

Thanks to Brawny for the opportunity to lead!

Harold and Kumar go to coaches box

WARMUP: helping one another pull our rain coats over our rucksacks.

THE THANG: Headed out towards the coaches box, logged around 3 miles total.

– Went one way to find a locked gate.

– Third idea was the baseball field but with the rain we didn’t want to ruin the field.
– Finally we found a quick sneak through and made it to coaches box…just in time for some merkins and to turn around a high tail it back.

Along the journey we stopped for merkins; calf raises, and squats few times.

MARY: None

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Brawnys new site Q announced, tort and hare, Hog and Coyete; Bethels Men shelter.

COT: Prayers and praises for the guys being out there and supporting one another, stress of things not going according to plan, and hope for a none stressful environment with extended family.

Life is hard. Choose your hard. Marriage? Hard. Divorce? Hard. Fitness? Hard. Obesity? Hard. Debt? Hard. Discipline? Also hard. You can’t avoid hard, but you can choose your hard. Choose wisely.

I hope the workout is the hardest thing you do today. Maybe, maybe not. But when you train hard, you’re more prepared for the hard things life throws at you. You’re building strength and resiliency now to access later. Keep pushing.

Aye!
