When conditions are poor, most people find a reason to quit, stay home, or take the easy way out. But not these guys.

They saw the forecast, knew what they were getting into, and made the decision to show up and do the hard thing anyway.

That’s how resilience is built. It’s built by choosing to show up when conditions aren’t ideal, pushing through when things don’t go as planned, and becoming the kind of men others can count on when things get tough.

Today was about more than a workout. It was about building character and proving that circumstances don’t dictate commitment.
Thanks for being those guys. Proud to stand alongside you.

WARMUP: NOPE

THE THANG:

The PAX took on a 0.79-mile loop with four corners of pain. The goal was simple: keep moving, push the pace, and get the work done.

  • Corner 1: 15 Burpees
  • Corner 2: 15 Monkey Humpers
  • Corner 3: 15 Lunges
  • Corner 4: 15 Monkey Humpers

Rinse and repeat for 45 minutes, with the running between corners providing little opportunity for recovery.

Each location had a start point, a destination point, an exercise, and a rep count

Pax did the exercise at the start point, ran to the destination point repeated the exercise in the designated reps, ran back to the start point and did the exercise for the reps again. We then ran to the next location start point ( going past the destination to point it out to the pax

Bad Route

WARMUP: Too cold to warm up so we just ran
THE THANG: YHC posted a route the night before, was all downhill, but driving up Sutton realized there was less sidewalk and minimal shoulder to safely run on so quickly pivoted and decided that WalMart could use some foot traffic
MARY: Nope
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel, 4B’s, Christmas party requested, update and golf moved to spring
COT: What separates us from the lulu chasers at OrangeTheory, among other things.
