Disclaimer disclaimed
Valentine’s Day Eve – Accelerating the M requires both Skill and Love. Just like our fitness, relationships are either Accelerating or Decelerating, Aye?
If you think you are “Maintaining” your relationship, you are actually Decelerating.

Mosey to WEP Stage
The Culture is a Jester
• Our culture likes to present marriage as easy, but a HIM knows virtue takes work, and thus marriage will take work.
Warm Up
20 SSH IC
10 Windmills IC
10 LSS IC
Al Gore w/ 10 MNC IC
11 Hill Billy Walkers IC
Yoga?

There is NO 50 Yard Line
• Halfway is not good enough when it comes to the M. An Accelerating HIM will go the length of the field for his M.

The Thang – Pearls on a String became chase Maximus (and Clickbait and Poppins, with Band Camp on form patrol) around the WEP loop, at each swing, do the following:
10 Merkins
10 Squats
10 Flying Squirrels

Your Wife is NOT Your Best Friend
• She is made for a much higher purpose, put her on the pedestal alone.

Mosey to Pike Entrance
7s of Derkins and Bomb Jax
7s of Step Ups and Dips
Mosey to Pike Wall
Wall Sits and Burpee Waterfall

Joy Trumps Happiness
• Happiness is a transitory positive feeling
• Joy is a permanent state of hopeful satisfaction
• A healthy and vital M is a lifetime pursuit

Mary – Flutters until 0600

Marriage requires Proximity and Purpose. It transforms a man from a selfish Happiness-junkie into a selfless Joy-seeker. The HIM knows if he fails at his M, nothing else he does will matter.

Announcements: Q-Source after this. D2D celebration on 3/2
COT: stays in COT

WARMUP:
Short Mosey to parking lot near entrance
SSH – 1 Burpee
Low slow squat – 2 burpees

Too much mumblechatter so we went to the hill for quadzilla

Run down the hill and run backwards 7 times and do 7 LBCs at the top, decrease LBCs by 1 each time up.

Moved over to front of elementary school by flags for some bear crawl. Line up along the curb facing flag. Crawl to the other side and do 1 merkin, then reverse bear crawl back and do 1 merkin. Repeat 5 times.

Knocked out a few minutes of a work with the protractor. Then had enough time for one round of Dirty Myrtle and Mike Tyson’s (great combo)

Made our way back to COT.

Last but not least was the Airborne special hip exercises.
