Poles of Death

Leave a comment

The Thang: Mosey to the light poles at the back of the school. Out one, 10 merkins, back to start 10 lunges (each leg). Out two poles 5 burpees, back to start, 10 squats. Out 3 poles, 10 merkins, etc. Repeat until time getting progressively further down the path. Return to COT. If that wasn't clear, you're in good company. A few of us didn't understand at first either… but we eventually all figured it out and got about 4 in.

COT: Prayers for IJ’s friend, Spectre’s wife, Olaf's pizza airplane, and all the rest.

Dojo was a no go so he handed the Q stick to me. Tired from two previous Qs this week, the plan was limited running and more strength training.
Quick warm-up then we headed to The Wall for 3 rounds Erkins, dips, and step ups. Next, we ran past the stinky dumpster to the back wall of HT. Wall sits bear crawl out merkins crawl bear back. Crab walk, LBCs, crab walk back.
Next we traveled to CVS for a four corner relay. Each member ran around the building 5, 10, 15 and 20
Merkins at each corner. Next person moved when pax ahead complete corner #1. Second round squats same count.
Back to COT.

We were honored to lead this morning. Helmet shared some eloquent words about the value of having men in your life to speak truth, no matter if it hurts. If you don’t have those men, find them. It will enrich your life.

School Tour

Leave a comment

Commentary courtesy of Dark Helmet:

12 men at The Pit Of Cocks received a generous helping of Italian Jobs.

The Thang:

  • Run 1/4 mile-ish then perform the following
  • 10 Burpees
  • 20 HR Merkins
  • 30 Lunges
  • 40 Mountain Climbers
  • 10 Burpees

Repeat until the hate leaves your heart or until 45 minutes has elapsed…

Moleskine:
The morning began with Liberty rescuing Goose’s hemorrhoid pillow from the parking lot (not sure when that got left there) and placing it lovingly by the flag. Also placed by the flag, was a fat deuce squeezed out like Satan’s toothpaste by 3D’s nutsniffer. Not to worry, like most good dog owners, 3D brought his little doo-doo produce bags and collected the offering to carry with him. I don’t have a dog, and one of the main reasons is that I currently live in a situation that would require me to bend down and collect the feces of a lesser beast. I'm on the top of the food chain. I will not collect feces. Besides, the mighty (though domesticated) canine deserves to leave his castoffs where they lay, so for me to take responsibility to care for such an animal would require me to live beyond the officious reach of an HOA and past the confines of a fence…

Changing subjects, Deep Dish remarked about the amount of sand in the CRHS parking lot and was contemplating how to take his kids there and convince them that it was Myrtle Beach, but with less cigarette butts.

COT: Pray for many men’s relatives, to shoulder our burdens, and to be smart enough not to go alone.

A lesson I learned this week: sometimes career opportunities pay more in dollars but cost more in the things that actually matter. Career trajectory and higher compensation aren’t worth the sacrifice of time with your loved ones. No one on their death bed says, “I wish I would have spent more time at work.” There’s a very good chance your job posting will go online before your obituary.
