Gratitude Reminder

Leave a comment

WARMUP: None. Only HIMs, none needed

THE THANG: 3 runners tackled 4-5 miles down Jackson, up Harris, back via spratt and misc trek through Whiteville Park.

5 ruckers tackled the Jackson/Harris/Massey loop plus some WEP time.

All left COT under the initial rays of Mr Sun up at least 1-0 on the day. Sprocket and Old Bay left up 2-0 after a double down.

COT: Blessed by the presence of Cornhole! he reminded all pax of the truly powerful source The Fort is to fuel each of us. he knows it well bc of the absence in his daily life since his move to Chester. may those of us who drink from this fountain truly appreciate what it offers!

Thanks to virgin Dawn Patrol pax (Quack and CK) for adding DP to their itinerary. we’re gaining traction — 8 pax is a new site record!

Thanks to Cake Boss for passing the baton to me in his absence. always an honor to lead.

The Zipper at Minnow Pond

Leave a comment

YHC was excited to join the Pax for Minnow Pond this AM. Prior to the workout, I looked over previous backblasts because I wanted to do the Zipper but wanted to see the level of exercises associated with it. I chose 4 exercises to mix in with the running and get a full body workout.

WARMUP:
Disclaimer, Pledge of Allegiance followed by a mosey to old Hardees parking lot. (Aside – does Fort Mill need a paid parking lot?)

THE THANG:
Run the Zipper which includes Spring Street and the associated side street with 10 merkins, Mtn climbers, squat jumps and big boys at each corner.

Run back to old Hardees at 5:55. Last group of exercises

MARY: Flutters, LBCs and Hello Dollies until the 6 arrives

Mosey home.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Congrats to Dark Helmet as he takes the reins as Nantan of F3 Nation
Read the newsletter as we have lots of activity coming up

Welcome to my TED Talk

Leave a comment

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

Run or ruck

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
THE THANG: run 4 miles
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS:was a lot of fun running this morning. Did learn about OldBay new health monitor to tell him if he has had enough sleep, if h he is in his target heart rate, and a lot of other really cool stuff. He and I might differ on State schools but both like technology. Twister and Cakeboss are really getting after the runs and sprocket likes to double down. Delorean gets his in even if at the wrong location.
COT:health
