After several pax reminiscing about work, we’ve learned that Mainframe affectionately calls his coworkers sunshine bazookas. IFKYK. 👨🏻‍💻
Slapshot loves burpees (news to no one) and declined pushups. Guy’s got arms of stone and a heart of gold. 🔱
Fishstix is a mover, and a grinder. YHC tried to slow him down by not letting him run 5 miles this morning, but to no avail. 🏃
YHC will be sore by tee time, but an early morning is good for the soul ⛳️

Taking responsibility

Leave a comment

YHC clipped the Ms car on the way out of the driveway this morning – initial reaction was to find anything and anyone else to blame…. I was running late because no one moved the elf, and I couldn’t find my running shoes because my son “put them away in the garage”, and my M didnt pull all the way up in the driveway.

The truth is I didn’t do the basic things required for the task like taking a walk/look around the car or adequately use my mirrors. These were all completely under my control and I failed.

Human nature is to deflect blame to others, as HIMs we need to resist this urge. We can’t blame other’s for our own complacency.

THE THANG:
run to Allison park stopping every 1/4 mile for 10 merkins.

once at the park, yhc led IC exercises until the 6 arrived (squats, reverse lunges, sumo squats). Once all PAX arrived, we assumed plank position and performed in cadence shoulder taps (40) and then in cadence squats (30) while each PAX performed one max set of pullups.

ran back to Earthfare stopping every 1/4 mile for 10 merkins.

used remaining time to do 4 corners at Earthfare with10 reps of sumo squats and wide arm merkins at opposite corners.

couple minutes of Mary to finish.

strong work by all today.

Grab ‘em by the ears

Leave a comment

WARMUP: ran around big parking lot. Max was right that when you say “he won’t run far, he has boots on”, that’s a bit of a lightning bolt to make you want to run further and faster.

We stopped for round 1 of 11×33 paying tribute to our boy Cha-Ching. 11 burpees, 33 SSH OYO. Kept running back to COT for round 2 of 11×33. Rucks on, sandbags on, 10 squats OYO.
THE THANG: Picked up our kb and headed towards the stop light. Dropped the gear for 20 in / erkins (incline merkins). Grabbed the rucks for 20 shoulder presses.

Headed down the hill with all our gear and stopped half way for 20 tricep extensions (dropped sandbag, kept ruck on). Left kb and put the sandbag on for the bottom of the hill. Bottom of hill with ruck on, AMRAP the sandbag for shoulder presses. Back up the hill to the kb spot.

Drop the sandbag, grab the kb (by the ears I guess) for front shoulder lifts – AMRAP. Reason for the AMRAPs is because we wanted to max out and guys had different weights…and different stopping points.

Gear up and back up the hill to our incline merkin spot at the light. After 20, gear up to the school entrance for the last stop. Drop all the gear, ruck overhead for another 20 shoulder presses. Back to COT to drop the gear, then a lap around the small lot…with round 3 of 11×33. (We did have at least 4 former 1stF Qs present so why not…and then 9 other beasts, all with 1stF leadership qualities and/or current or previous site Q roles.)
MARY: Mixed it up and replaced core work with stretching let in a rotating fashion (core principle #4).
ANNOUNCEMENTS: thanksgiving convergence is on…thanksgiving. Upcoming December CSAUP- be there and get a team.

Do difficult and uncomfortable things! Life is going to throw these at you – why not prepare yourself!
COT: CSPAN style because we all need this.

I promised a workout that was simple yet effective… and that was my plan.

Also No Burpees!!

Started with an extended mosey to the “Badlands” Library. There’s even a book named in his honor there!

After that Moseyed to the corner in between First Watch and Cyclebar.

Did 20 HR Merkins and 20 Toe Touches. Then ran up to 160…turned right… turned right again then made another right… ending right back where we started for just about a .25 loop.

Then we did 19 Hr Merkins and 19 Toe touches.

So the plan was to continue the loops reducing the reps by one each time.

So at this point it became a you Vs. you. 33 minutes later…everyone was well over 3 miles and had their fill of merkins.

Simple… effective… Ocham’s Razor.

Thanks for the opportunity! Always appreciate the chance to start 1-0.

👊👊👊
