Hitting all the Corners

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mozy past the bathrooms and stopped for SSH. We kept going and headed up the hill toward the parking lot for windmills then ran back down the hill and stopped near COT for squats.
THE THANG: We continued past COT ran up the parking lot entrance and across the street to the adjacent parking lot where four cones were roughly placed at each corner. (Not exactly a square and more like a “P” than anything else.). We did a “four corners” workout where each Pax did a full lap and stopped at the next cone for reps. After doing 20 reps of each exercise we ran a full lap + the distance to the next cone. Rinse and repeat until we completed all four cones. Cones were broken out as follows:
– Upper: Merkins, CDD, Dips, Shoulder tap merkins
– Lower: Calf raises, Bomb jacks, Squats, Monkey humpers
– Abs: Big boy sit-ups, American Hammers, Flutters, Box cuttahs
– Full Body: Burpees, SSH, Mike Tysons, Single-leg merkins

Once completed, (we did more running than planned) we found a patch of grass for Jack Webbs. Overhead claps/Plank jacks. 4/1, 8/2….32/8.

Mozy back to the Clam Shell for a wall sit ladder. Everyone in wall sit position with the person at the end bear crawling out to the grass for 5 Merkins. Rinse and repeat down the line until everyone took their turn. Back to COT with 2.6-2.9 total miles completed depending on whose watch you were going off of.
MARY: Just a bit. Hammers, Box cuttahs, Double D’s SSH thing while we were all face down on the pavement.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: upcoming CSAUPs.
COT: All prayers/praises mentioned family in one way or another. Sickness, surgery, travel, thankfulness for what we have.

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, MCs, Parker Peter, Peter Parker, Plank, L/R planks,. Mosey to back parking lot, cariaco
THE THANG: Muster on the grassy patch in back parking lot where we started, left, and returned a few times. Running took us to the south wall of HT, the tire shop and the north wall of HT in between stops at the grass. Pax fit 100 burpees into the workout in doses of 10. Other fun included bear crawl, crawl bear, crab walks, lunges, various flavors of Mary, and it was all topped off with suicides.
MARY: Included along the way
ANNOUNCEMENTS: New name of HT workouts Wed/Fri is The Forge! also encouragement to register for Break the Dam run on 1/31, plus 8-blocker on Jan 3rd at Panera
COT: Encouragement for pax to bring some closure to 2025 before starting 2026 by reviewing photos on their phone from Thanksgiving through Christmas period. This practice always grounds me and give me perspective. It especially deflates anxious thinking/feeling about future and various regrets/shame by providing a very real and visible depiction of the true blessings and joy in my life.

Thanks for the invite Miyagi! Carry on with your mission of forging HIM!

Kicking Ass & Chewing Bubble Gum

Leave a comment

Driving around FM the night before running errands and thinking about my Q at the Stockade. Reviewed a few BBs and didn’t see any references to coupons. Messaged The Pirate, who was Qing at Varsity, and asked if I could borrow a few Cindys. He was very much obliged as I took a few off his AO. Woke up this morning with a car packed full of Cindys and a plan, the only thing left to do was to kick ass and chew gum.
