It’s about community

Leave a comment

WARMUP: The heartstrings got loosened up out of the gates as Warning Track unloaded some baggage from a tough week, acknowledging the challenges of Living Right through the Flux of life and the importance of showing up this morning to be lifted up by his brothers. He followed up with the Obligatory SSHs and then set off from WEP.

THE THANG:

WT took the pax to the old Pike Elec parking lot stopping for some windmills, burpees and other fun enroute.

Pax broke into groups of 3 for a modified Dora across the parking lot. Midway through WT called audible due to pax incompetence and simplified to Dora in groups of 2. Terrible things like Merkins, squats, lunges, flutters, burpees, etc were unleashed on the pax

WT took pax to Memorial Park for more burpees and more shared pax stories of Why they come out to the Gloom on a wet Sat morning.

DD took the reins and moved the pax to a series of parking lots (pharmacy), Pike front courtyard, Town Hall back wall for pain stops including shoulder taps, wall sits, plank jacks, burpees, mtn climbers, peter parkers, Parker peters, etc.

Pax returned to WEP to appreciate JWOW’s lovely Christmas tree. Two rounds of partner work included bear crawls around tree + flutters followed by crawl bears around tree + HR merkins.

Mosey to grass in front of band shell for more partner work (merkins, shoulder taps, sit ups) interspersed with some burpees and lap around band shell. Finished off with Knee Tar N’dyae and Mahktar N’dyae.

Mosey home

MARY: included throughout

ANNOUNCEMENTS: coffeteria at HC

COT: great morning where we welcomed 3 FNGs + a Kotter while pax from 30s to 50s mixed it up and pushed each other to get 1% better.

“Our youth are our present” I heard my pastor say from the pulpit recently. Note he did NOT say “our future.” It’s as true in The Fort and in our community as it is in NYC with a 34 yr old mayor. Younger pax, you ARE leaders today — embrace your opportunity and duty. Seasoned pax — your leadership focus IS about bringing along the next generation of leaders — embrace your opportunity and duty.
We are blessed men to have these roles at this time.

Thanks to JWOW for the opportunity and Warning Track for the partnership.

Love you brothers!

Run, Do The Thing, Repeat

Leave a comment

After a prompting from Farmers Only (On Q elsewhere today), I decided to recycle a workout from last year.
WARMUP: No
THE THANG:
Run to a stop, do exercises, run to the next, etc…
The first 3 stops had 3 exercises at each stop.
The next 3 stops had 2 exercises at each stop.
The final 4 stops had 1 exercise at each stop.
The rep count was always 10 which in some cases, meant 5 each leg.
Total distance covered was ~3.6m.
MARY: See above
ANNOUNCEMENTS: All the same + the formation of a BRR 2026 Slack Channel with more comm’s coming from Pusher.
COT: Oh absolutely. Strong.

I recently read a thread on a Facebook post about being a dad. The comments hit close to home.

“Them: How’s dad life treating ya?
Dads: It’s good. I’m doing alright.”

“Because we can’t sit around and complain and breakdown about it. We have to figure shit out and pull through it for the family.”

“Because we are supposed to be the pillar upon which the house stands. Pillars cannot afford to crack. Which is exactly what the Lord designed us for. We are not supposed to put it on our family’s. The Bible says that iron sharpeners iron. Therefore fathers sharpen fathers. There is a reason the Lord made men more aggressive and stronger built. As pillars, our foundation should be that the Lord is our strength.”

“Because good father’s have to. We have to create the solid foundation that stands strong no matter what. Everything in this world can fall apart, and does. Our families have to be able to rely on us through all of their problems. We have to steer the ship through the storm, even if the sails are torn and the hull is cracked. We are our own lone ship out in the vast unforgiving ocean, fighting the crashing waves and darkened storm skies.”

I think this commentary captures a lot of how we feel as dad‘s in today’s society. However, we are not a loan ship in the storm. As Olaf reminded us, we have a fleet for protection. Yes, we have quite the responsibility and the weight is heavy, but our brothers have shoulders to help us carry the load. Never give up fellas. Reach out when you need it.

Aye!
IJ
