A dead end and a roundabout.

Solid effort by the PAX today. 4×4 Run & Ruck. The pace was steady but the mumblechatter was strong. Then there were planks. They were… plank-y. Moseyed around little bit of Massey then into sunset circle. It said dead end, but we found a way out. Kept on trucking down Athena, went around a fence that was not keeping anyone out. Then around FCMS with some unexpected hills. Ended up at the Waterside roundabout where we laid on the grass to kill our running pace did some planks and sounded professional by saying abs are important for running. Clarified that I am only semi-pro. Moseyed back just in time to stop the watch at AO.
LTrain: said running was easier last year
Band Camp: shared stories with Sock Monkey
Sock Monkey: Showed us what Colorado lungs can do. Also distracted Band Camp which led to a race and a photo finish to see who could make it back first. The youth prevailed.
YHC: Still learning directions as well as counting. We will get there.
The Ruckers were right where we left them when we got back.
WARMUP: SSH / Moroccan night clubs / Worlds greatest stretch
THE THANG: Ran 4.25 miles at the pace of a lost new seabiscuit Q. Found a couple hills and a lot of mud with some wet grass to wash off in.
MARY: M.I.A.

The ladder of all ladders

Mosey down to the far end of the parking lot by the baseball field.

8 rounds
SSH
Windmill
Seal Jack
MNC
Imperial Walkers

The thang

Ladder concept…run to a cone and do the reps assigned at the cones. Go back to the start do 5 squats and then go to the next cone etc…

Exercises were merkins and LBCs

Also had a burpee whistle blown at my discretion. 3 burpees each time.

So the cones were lined up at the distance from “home”

So .05 was cone 1…. .10 was cone 2 etc… all the way to cone .25.

We were able to wrap up with most getting to 2.5-3.0 miles and everyone got 150 LBCs and 150 Merkins. Thanks to Rosie for the opportunity!!!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Tortoise & Hare this Saturday. Next Saturday Hog & Coyote. CSAUP CENTRAL! Get signed up, support the HIMs leading these events, support your region and the greater good it is providing. Read your newsletter.

COT: Prayers & praises and YHC prayed us out.

Spoke on 5 core principles, all equally weighted however COT, it sets us apart from every other workout group.
Spoke on Mission statement, are we a workout group???
Spoke on Visions statement, be real about picking up the 6. Make it a point to offer an encouraging push. That next man may need it more than you know.

Appreciate the Q and the continual cross pollination between our 2 regions with all these HIMs. I encourage RH pax to take a trip north and you Fort pax to take a trip south every so often. A little flavor in your bland weekly routine is good every so often #zesty.

Thanks <@U061P7HUFRR> for the opportunity to Q <#C02PN2Z6QV8>!
