It was raining. A storm had just rolled through. I spent 30 minutes watching the lightning strike map before the workout. The electricity faded just before 0515, leaving behind a steady rain that cut the humidity.
We moseyed.
My eyes were on effort—and the promise of a road shorter than we wanted. I found one. We did 7s: merkins and squats. Basic doesn’t mean easy. We bear crawled between.
Another mosey.
Chasing the dream of democracy, I created an illusion of choice. Ten parking spaces. One more burpee at each stop. After nine, I had us pause to “vote” on whether we’d do ten. It was a sham. We were doing all ten—because this isn’t a democracy. But just saying we’re doing it wasn’t the point. We did it in cadence, because a leader leads.
It’s better when we go alongside those we lead. It takes longer. It’s more work. But it keeps everyone engaged. When I ask my kids to do the dishes, they’ll do it—but they do it better when I’m with them. I’ve got plenty of other things to do, but the most important job I have is to be their dad. And that means leading with them, more often than letting them go OYO.
WARMUP: Mozy around the parking lot followed by Moroccan Night Clubs, Merkins, CDDs
THE THANG: Slowzy to the closed dental office and formed a plank line. Completed 4 plank jacks, dips, shoulder taps, and Supermans. Side shuffle and repeat for 8 reps, then 16, then 32.
We moved to the wall and enjoyed the light rain with seated Jack Webbs. Everyone assumed the wall sit position for overhead claps followed by merkins. 4 OC/1 Merkin, 8/2, 12/3,…40/10. Quick walk to get our legs back underneath us then back to the wall for wall sits. First person bear crawled out for 5 CDD and bear crawled back for the next person to go. Next round was monkey humpers then we switched to BTW for a rotating 10 count.
Walked to the drainage area to pick out a rock of your own choosing for 7s to Dogtopia and back. Overhead presses and dips were the exercises. YHC is nursing a bum leg and did LBCs and flutters during the run portion of the 7s.
With limited time left we returned to drop off the rocks and did 20 triceps presses. To balance our arms out, we did 20 curls before returning the rocks unharmed.
MARY: Nope
