WARMUP: motivators from 5
THE THANG: 2 minute farmer carry followed by 1 minute workouts. We mixed in multiple rounds of running to the pull up bars and laps around the track to honor Splinter who is DR.
MARY: mixed in throughout the workout as multiple PAX prescribed more pain into the mix.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: read the newsletter. Lots of upcoming events.
COT: Thanksgiving takes a lot of work. Be thankful for those that are in your life and that you don’t even know who have helped get food on your Thanksgiving table. It’s easy to complain about circumstances in your life, but practicing gratitude helps keep complaining away.
WARMUP: Yea, this is important.
SSH
IW
HW
Plank sequence
Included some dynamic stretching
THE THANG:
String of Pearls
5 burpees
10 merkins
15 squats
20 lunges
25 ……. something
added an exercises each stop. (e.g., first stop = burpees only, second stop = burpees and merkins, etc.)
the 25 rep count was one of the previous exercises. So, when we found the literal end of the road it was stop 5 and we did:
5-burpees
10-merkins
15-squats
20-lunges
25-burpees in cadence
Next end of the road stop was
5-burpees
10-merkins
15-squats
20-lunges
25-merkins
Ran out of time before finding all the ends of the road.
MARY: did imperial squat walkers at COT for the 6….that’s kinda a core exercise, right?
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Food Drive happening now. Thanksgiving Convergence at the Ranch
COT: was held
NMM:
When you find yourself at the end of the road, your left with the same resources that got you there. Gotta use them to get moving again!
I heard a reference to a “second starting” line in terms of my mammon (teaching music). That is: once we learn the notes and rhythms, there’s a second starting line. We’re finally ready to make art rather than simply craft.
When you hit end of a road, turn around and think of it as the second starting line. Ain’t nothing to it, but to do it.
WARMUP: mosey around and did some reps of the exercises at each station that the workout would have. Hand release merkins, mountain climbers, calf raises, step ups, dips, Superman’s, j los and burpees.
THE THANG: Dora work with four stations set up around campus. One partner did the stationary work while the other moseyed. Finished at one station and moved to the next.
MARY: the bear crawl merkin complex. One bear crawl with each arm followed by one merkin. Two bear crawl each arm followed by two merkin. So on and so forth through ten reps each.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter.
COT: yes

I recently watched the below video about taking action for those relying on you. In it, Chadd Wright describes his role as a breacher in the Seal Team. He would plan the breaching of an obstacle so his team could accomplish their mission. He describes three words that took planning into action: execute, execute, execute.
That’s what people fail to do. If you don’t execute on your plan, especially when you’re tired or scared or stressed, you’re not just cheating yourself, you’re cheating those they rely on you – your family, co-workers, or team.
So ask yourself, what is one decision I’ve been avoiding making that I should instead boldly execute today? When I say, “I’ll wait until conditions are perfect,” am I actually just waiting to avoid discomfort? How clear is my “why” for the work I’m doing — and does it anchor me when things get hard?
It was a balmy morning at The Kitchen Sink but don’t worry, we warmed up quickly. A quick warmup and we were off.

Well, every time alarm went off, ladder is grounded, dry docks and squats are performed, rotate pax on sandbag, keep moving… movement was dictated by Tabatha… back to start point, 5 minutes of broga… while at it… yes, alarm went off again… just a few more CDD and squats.
