Stole from Dojo

It was raining, so we ran straight for the Lowe’s Contractor covering.

WARMUP:
Standard fare of SSH, IW, Hillbilly Walkers, Butt Kickers, High Knees, etc, then loop around Lowe’s

THE THANG:
This was stolen from Dojo just the day before (done at DawnPatrol). Kind of a modified ring of fire.

Set up 6 cones near edges of the covering with a single cone in the center. On each perimeter cone was an exercise and count. Pax had to run to a cone, do the exercise and count, then bear crawl back to the center cone and do Burpees. The number of Burpees was based on how many stations they had been to (starting with 1, working up to 6 when all cones were visited).

Once all done with all cones, we ran another lap around Lowe’s

Rinse and repeat, but with 2nd set of cones (under he first set).

Just a few minutes left for Rugby Sprints, then return to COT.

Thanks to PeachStand for the chance to lead.

NMM
Most people face challenges every day. Some are easy to overcome while other times it feels like war. The enemy is all your doubts, all your fears, and the lie that you aren’t good enough to complete the mission. But don’t quit. Wake up, brush your teeth, make your bed, workout, shower, and just make it to lunch. Then, make it to dinner. Regardless of how bad the day was, there will be a new one tomorrow.

When you feel like quitting, which you will, do not quit right now, that’s emotion. Instead, say “I’ll quit tomorrow.” If you can keep quitting tomorrow, you can do anything. Don’t let the lies in your head stop you from achieving great things.

Aye!
