Leave No Stone Unturned

We had six at the Forge this morning. Started with a mosey around the parking lot before doing the typical warmups.
Next a modified DORA, same counts with different exercises added bonus with a large rock. Curls, overhead press, and flutters. Once completed, we ran to the back of the tire store for a set of step ups, erkins, and dips. We continued around the back of HT. Completed a sidewalk shuffle and walk sit.
Back to the front of the building where we began the workout. We finished with a man maker ladder. Partner 1 performed the man makers while Partner 2 ran. Flip flop

My personal Favorite with the remaining time left….
EMOM  10 Burpees a minute on the minute….. (only got 9 minutes in)
 
The question of the day is why…why I still am doing this after 7 years when I first thought I’d only give it like 3 months.
 
And it really is because of all of the guys I’ve met and learned from. When I started the saying was if you want to run fast…run with faster people. And There are so many HIMS in our region that run so much faster than me. Not just actual literal running but accelerating at all phases of life. These are role models for us and a big reason why I keep coming out, and I keep pushing. Everyone reading this has in some way pushed me to be 1% better than I was yesterday.  Thank you guys! And see you all in the gloom!
