End of the Road

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Yea, this is important.
SSH
IW
HW
Plank sequence
Included some dynamic stretching

THE THANG:
String of Pearls
5 burpees
10 merkins
15 squats
20 lunges
25 ……. something

added an exercises each stop. (e.g., first stop = burpees only, second stop = burpees and merkins, etc.)

the 25 rep count was one of the previous exercises. So, when we found the literal end of the road it was stop 5 and we did:
5-burpees
10-merkins
15-squats
20-lunges
25-burpees in cadence

Next end of the road stop was
5-burpees
10-merkins
15-squats
20-lunges
25-merkins

Ran out of time before finding all the ends of the road.

MARY: did imperial squat walkers at COT for the 6….that’s kinda a core exercise, right?
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Food Drive happening now. Thanksgiving Convergence at the Ranch
COT: was held

NMM:

When you find yourself at the end of the road, your left with the same resources that got you there. Gotta use them to get moving again!

I heard a reference to a “second starting” line in terms of my mammon (teaching music). That is: once we learn the notes and rhythms, there’s a second starting line. We’re finally ready to make art rather than simply craft.

When you hit end of a road, turn around and think of it as the second starting line. Ain’t nothing to it, but to do it.

Then, everytime we finish a lap, we have a board of pain with different upper body exercises.

So this workout was one of many that remind me why we do what we do.
Unexpected FNG came out this am, dudes an ex marine and a solid dude. Knew we would be there. But really it’s because every single man made a decision they weren’t going to leave the next man hanging. That’s why we post in unpleasant conditions, wee hours of the morning and in some cases with little sleep the day after a birthday where it would have been nice to sleep in if I’m being honest. I wouldn’t have been there for my brothers, and I also wouldn’t have gotten to see Private Dancer who came up from Florida, Dear Abby from Chicago, Boomhaur on his second post, met Hershey and MP, and gotten to see DH do some DH ish, with an FNG onboarding and so and and so on….So all in all a great morning. Welcome Body Butter!

The workout itself, well that’s another story. I wouldn’t say I regret it but I am going to be feeling that one for a few days…
