For the one person that read this far, you’ll see the similarity to a recent Minnow Pond BB. Why reinvent the wheel? No need to introduce a game or anything creative, just get a minimum of 3mi and make the guys push a little harder. Or, pull a little more if you’re ‘squatch.
In other areas of my life, I try to make things harder. In some cases, I’ve even created the more difficult situation. If I can strip the emotion out of the situation, assess it then address it, I can tackle it.
That’s exactly what we did at Sweep The Leg. We assumed this post would be hard, showed up, got simple instructions and did the work. Nothing creative. Nothing complicated. Nothing emotional. Nothing easy.
Just.Do.The.Work.
For the love, stop settling for just showing up. Showing up is important, yes. You can’t lead without showing up. If this is about leadership, don’t measure yourself against a standard that says showing up (physically) is enough.
You’re here for more. Time to lead!
MARY: See above
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Convergence, Jaeger
COT: You should’ve been there.

DORA Rules at GC

Leave a comment

YHC was honored to be given the Q stick at Golden Corral by Half Shell today. This represented my first trip back in the gloom at 100% since dealing with a post D2D bronchitis and my spirits were excited about the opportunity. While not yet Springlike weather, the Pax were quickly sweaty from the downpainment on the day.

After seeing a post by IJ, I decided to maximize the DORA concept at GC today for encouragement, challenge and candor of a partner workout.

WARMUP:
Mosey to Oil and Lube shop
Windmills x 10
IW x 10
MNC x 10
Monkey Humpers x 10
Mtn Climbers x 10
SSH x 10

Let’s go!
THE THANG:

Partner up and run around HT for Group Dora stopping 5 times for:
5 burpees
10 lunges
15 Box cutters

Mosey to another lot for Lazy Dora
Alternating turns
100 Merkins/ partner plank
200 Squats/partner Al Gore
300 LBCs/ partner 6 inches

Mosey to Walgreens lot for normal Dora
50 Bombjacks
100 CDDs
150 Flutters

Mosey back for Big Boys until end

All of Them!

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Disclaimer loosened up the vocal cords
THE THANG: run out Richard Crossing to Front St, turn left to Berkshire, so 2 laps, return on Front/Richards Crossing

Message at end referred to 33 yr anniversary for me/M last wk and question from Pirate about what was the hardest phase. As Cyclops would say “all of them” AND they’ve also ALL been the best phase. How can you adjust your mindset to “both/and” and away from the “either/or” nature our culture seems to impose?

MARY: nope, she stayed in fartsack
ANNOUNCEMENTS: March 14 convergence, March 1 final Battle Bot Q at Alcatraz
