Rainy morning Pantheon

WARMUP: SSH (IC), honeymooners
THE THANG: moseyed over to the entrance of the school where it was dry and pulled out a deck of cards. I had a much different workout planned, but was thinking being in the rain was not the best idea for YHC, so this was plan B.
Breakdown was:
Diamonds = merkins
Spades= squats
Clubs = mountain climbers
Hearts = BBSUs
Aces were 14 count, that made everyone happy and the 2 jokers = 10 burpees
Finished early so we started some 11s with diamond merkins and lunges, but only got about 1/2 way through. Original MOT was bear crawl and crab walk, but was quickly revised to run and nur

Running EMOM

Warmup: (not really a thing today)

Had the PAX Line up behind me for a 14:00 minute running EMOM. We would move Indian-Run style  up to 160 but every minute on the minute we would stop and do :

1 burpee
2 BBS
4 HR Merkins.

We got a little over a mile and at the end we all had done 14 burpees 28 BBS and 56 HR Merkins.

We took a brief break to do some Windmills IC Then began Round 2  (the run back)

Same exercises and rep count as before but one twist. When we got over by the nice new parking lot by the Tega Cay Pediatric Dentistry we changed it from an Indian Run to an Indian Bear Crawl.

We did this for about 4-5 minutes and then switched back to the run.

We finished the 2nd round right around the sign for the Elementary school. Tally was 28 total burpees, 56 BBS, 112 HR Merkins with over 2 miles in running.

Staying in front of the sign by the elementary school with over 10 minutes to go we decided to:

14 LBCs IC
14 Flutters IC
Recovery Lap
14 Merkins IC
28 Low Slow Squats
Recovery Lap

4 Minute EMOM
7 Burpees each minute.

So for those wondering the “Stg. Major Workout in a pure form is :

1 Mile Run
28 Burpees
1 Mile Run
28 Burpees
56 BBS
1 Mile Run
28 Burpees
56 BBS
112 HR Merkins
400 m lap.

I modified todays workout due to the 45 minutes timeframe and because I wanted to try out the running EMOM. It was a crowd pleaser!

Thanks for the opportunity to Lead!

Until Next Time!

Often all that’s necessary to succeed is to just not quit. But often I’ll quit on my parenting priorities because a screen is easier, or I’ll quit on house work cause there will be more laundry tomorrow….why do I refuse to quit on 8-count burpees, but don’t transfer that over to other areas of my life? Need to work on transferring the durability we build on the gloom to my entire life

APFT for the Forts 10 year!

WARMUP: We Moseyed to the parking lot of the Lutheran Church.

Once there I described the route for our 2 mile run. We then had a moment of silence for the runner who was abducted and killed in Memphis.

I blew the whistle and the 3 pax were off running into the dark.

Fish sticks killed it as he usually does with a time of 14:52.

Jwow put down a solid 20:13 with Incoming with a 22:06.

We then proceeded to the 2:00 of Merkins followed by 2:00 of sit-ups.

All 3 put up some impressive numbers.

Fish: 65 Merkins and 56 sit-ups
Jwow: 75 Merkins and 46 sit-ups
Incoming: 90 Merkins and 38 sit-ups

We moseyed back to COT just in time for the Chupacabra guys.

All in all it was a great time. I enjoyed being a clipboard Q for a day and the fellowship and effort was strong.

Until next time!
