Mississippi Mud

Leave a comment

It was a chilly morning in The Fort, but the firey mumble chatter kept us all warm. So did the pain!

After a plethora of warmup exersices we were off for some wall work.

The Ascending Testicles (not so distant cousin to Balls to the Wall)

15 Degrees – 10 Derkins
45 Degrees – 10 Derkins
Balls to the Wall – 10 Derkins

Then a round of The Australian (aka decline mountain climbers

We then moseyed over to the track to celebrate the birthday of our beloved state Mississippi.
Fun Facts: Mississippi joined the Union as the 20th state on December 10th 1817 and gets its name from the Mississippi River, which forms its western border. Mississippi is known for being the birthplace of American blues music and is also famous for its fertile soil, which makes it an agricultural powerhouse, as well as for its catfish farming industry.

The Thang:
18 of one exercise, run half a lap around the track. Then 17 of the same exercise, and run the other half of lap (year 1817). We worked our way all the way down the list.

M – erkins

YHC was reminded yesterday that someone is always watching you. Whether its your Concentrica, the Pax or work colleagues, you have infinite opportunity to influence others positively or negatively. The choice is yours. As leaders, ask yourself after interactions with other people “How do they feel after speaking with me?” Did you lift them up or bring them down? Set the temperature for others. Be the light!

Dude Ranch Fun

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Quick run/jog around the front parking lot then out to the driveway close to the parkway. Bobber arrived a little late and met up halfway through the run, which I think was his plan. Circle up and 10-15 reps of the following:
* SSH
* Windmills
* Imperial walkers
* Moroccan night clumbs
* Strawberry pickers
Good mumblechatter from the start. Then mosey back to the parking lot near the front of the school for the main event.

THE THANG:
4 corner fun
Cones were set up around the front parking lot and also along the car rider pickup area in front of the school at the main entrance. Do the exercise, then the movement to the next cone.
Area was approx 100yds long x 30yds wide.
1. Burpees, then Lt Dan to next cone (~100yds)
2. Box cutter, then crab walk to next (~30yds)
3. Merkins, then Lt Dan (~100yds)
4. Mountain climbers, 2 ct, then crab walk (~30yds)
Repeat until time out
Reps of each exercise were descending with each round: 25, 20, 15, 10, 5 (75 total reps of each exercise)
Straight Up showed up late when most were finishing their first round of burpees. He quickly caught up and passed most. Beast, Alot of mumblechatter that died down as we got through the first round. Everyone got through 3 rounds of the loop until we ran out of time (60reps of each exercise). GREAT JOB FELLAS!!!
Quick jaunt back to COT which wasn’t very far.
MARY: None. Out of time.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
* READ THE NEWSLETTER. Alot going on. Get involved.
COT:
* Q had to leave at 6 in order to take his 2.0 to JROTC rifle team practice. Sorry.
* Lifting up prayers that were said and unsaid.

It is mornings like this – cold yet clear – where the combination of fellowship, early exercise, and beautiful weather just starts your day off in such a wonderful way that nothing else afterwards can phase you. You already won the day and have been invigorated to take on anything and be thankful and blessed for everything.

Thank you for the opportunity to lead.
