NMM
Discipline is doing the same thing over and over until you’re stronger, sharper, and unstoppable. Repetition builds resilience and consistency is a superpower that has compounding effects. Keep putting in the work. Even though it doesn’t seem like you’re making gains, you are getting better.

Aye!

Too much candy

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Quick Mosey around HT parking lot to pick up Cubbie who came in hot
THE THANG:
Mosey to the bottom of Grant Farm Drive by the fountain.
11s called where PAX will do 1 squat at the bottom and 10 BBSU at the top entrance to the fire station. There was some confusion as to which side was which as the Q’s instructions may not have been consistent, but we got through it.
Walking 10 count and off to the traffic circle on Stockbridge Dr. The PAX formed a tight circle and did a bearcrawl of pain. 1 PAX bear crawled around the ring while everyone did AMRAP on an exercise that was NOT called by the bear crawler (so you can’t stick anyone with burpees).
Two rounds of that and there was just enough time to trot back to CoT for

The Kickoff of the Funhouse Farewell Tour

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
I am certain we warmed up.

THE THANG:
It occurred to me as I sat to write this, that I have no idea (since it was a MONTH ago) what all we did that morning. I usually have a plan written out ahead that I either commit to memory, or will even shove a printout in my pocket to reference just in case. I didn’t do that this time. I know that I tried to call a few of the favorites of <@UGNDJBDU3> in his honor. I know we hit The Zipper and we definitely performed the Gonorrhea Burpee (because it has The Clap), but that’s all I really recall…

Now, the only person likely to read this is <@UGU3XR5RP>, but I just got painfully convicted about not writing Backblasts in a timely nor efficient manner. As I was looking back to see if I could find this weinke, I discovered that I have the BB from both my FNG post (administered by <@UN6U5PXNJ> and <@U08GGTLHL>) and from my VQ at The Armory.

<@U07QXBKKF5F> joined us as an FNG that morning. As it turns out, this came at a critical time in his life… and is hopefully blessing it. But, I failed him as a Q. He now does not have the enjoyment or blessing of being able to go back and read the report from his first post and reflect on that in the same way that I do. The first day I posted, I was sure I was going to die when Pusher said, “And now for the second half, I’ll hand this off to Jekyll”. I didn’t understand how the toughest workout I had ever done to that point in my adult life could have a SECOND HALF.

That’s a cherished memory. So, for Road Rash and every man after him, I commit to writing BackBlasts, making them interesting and timely, and hyping the reading of them after the fact. I also will attempt to persuade other men to do the same.

MARY: No chicks.
