Steady rain all morning

4 PAX pre-ran starting at 0445 – crossed 160 and around new kingsley loop and then back across 160 and around lake loop – back at 0510 for a bit of stretching and mumblechatter

7 runners and 2 ruckers departed at 0515.

runners route – Left on Munn, Left into FMHS campus. Most PAX stopped for 4 solid hill sprints up the hill that leads down to get vehicles down to the track/field. Continued through campus and popped out onto Harris St. Ran downhill from there to Harris St park where we veered Left onto the paved path toward WEP. At WEP, we did a couple more hill sprints and let the 6 join back with the pack. continued Left on 160 back to COT.

All runners got 3.7, some got closer to 5.

More thoroughbreds today than clydesdales. Maybe clydesdales are sensitive to rain?

Thanks for the opportunity to lead us this morning Rolloff.

Who needs drill bits?

Leave a comment

WARMUP: pledge and run to WEP entrance…got in a few merkins and tree hugging while we waited for 6
THE THANG: we’re doing laps.

At the second swing bench you will stop for 10 merkins and 20 in cadence flutters. Run at a 1 mile pace to first swing bench and dial it back to 5k pace until you reach second bench…that’s pretty much about it.

What I noticed is I ran at the 1 mile faster pace most of the time so didn’t really follow instructions. Also ran low on 3 mile min so tried to have guys run at 3 swing benches but it was a little bit of a lost cause at the end. Headed back at 5:55.
MARY: old bay led some Mary at the end
ANNOUNCEMENTS: definitely
COT: for sho

Chicken Nuggies

Leave a comment

It was a beautiful rainy morning after the superbowl. Thankful for all the PAX showing up. Quick disclaimer then we crossed 160 to Braden. Every time we passes the sign it was 12 merkins. Run down to the clubhouse for a simple plan in chicken nuggies increments:
6 burpees, 12 mtn climbers, 18 LBCs, run loop clockwise. Loop is up hill to sign, right down 160 to next Braden entrance, take a right and follow Emory back to clubhouse. 6 jump squats, 12 CDDs, 18 American Hammers, run loop in opposite direction. Keep repeating until time. Jog back to rainy COT. Gazelles got 5 loops in, others got less but everyone put the work in. Thanks for the nod Badlands!

Leadership message;

The topic was parenting…Couple key points:

Lead by example, do you have your kids do as you do or do as you say? Or are there two sets of rules?

Hold to a set of family values, is there a clear set of values and principles? Maybe even put them on the wall somewhere

Allow space for failure, don’t be hasty to judge, criticize and even being sarcastic can stifle a culture where your kids are comfortable failing in the home- much like the gloom for us, we can feel confident to try things and sometimes fail.

Be a father first friend second, society tells us to let your kids do whatever they want in the name of personal preferences, we aren’t here to placate every desire of our children, we need to be fathers!

and remember this life is nothing but dust in the wind! What will your legacy be? Do your kids know God? Better yet do they know Christ?

X routine

Start with 5 burpees in middle of X then run to each corner complete the exercise then run back to the middle for 5 more burpees
