THE THANG: Run down to SIM parking lot for a series of carioca, high knees, butt kickers, Nur and sprints with burpees intermingled throughout.

Balls to the wall
Bear crawl across lot

People’s chair

Mosey to side of Indian restaurant for 11s on the picnic tables (derkins & dips)

Mary– pass the baton among the pax

Mosey home

COT: Great to lead the pax in place of Cake Boss whose on IR (but still posting in the Gloom for some light work and 2nd F — way to go brother)!

My first workout with Hayden Fry who smartly waited to make his first post at The Fort instead of Chicago before he moved south. Great to have you on board!

Vuvu can’t decide whether to run or bootcamp so he got a little of both, walking with CB, then running all over the Gloom to find us, then joining for the final 15. Nice work!

Prayers for Slapshot and his M and family as they navigate unfortunate health news for is MiL. TAPs, brother.

Thanks to the pax for pushing throughout and especially for posting. I can’t do this thing we call life alone, and it’s invaluable to know you’re always there.

Don’t Call it a Comeback

Leave a comment

14 HIMs gathered with YHC on this cool morning at the Armory to celebrate a return to a KB workout for me. Some came to celebrate, some came to ridicule and some were just curious. Nonetheless, I was prepared with a Weinke and ready to get after it and get better.

Often all that’s necessary to succeed is to just not quit. But often I’ll quit on my parenting priorities because a screen is easier, or I’ll quit on house work cause there will be more laundry tomorrow….why do I refuse to quit on 8-count burpees, but don’t transfer that over to other areas of my life? Need to work on transferring the durability we build on the gloom to my entire life

10 Year Convergence

Leave a comment

Ten year celebration came to a close this morning with a convergence at WEP. 12 men came earlier for a run to support Operation Sweet Tooth. 84 men attended the main event with three great HIM leading the workout: CSPAN, Maximum, and WWL. No warm-ups this morning. CSPAN took his group around the block with various stops along the way. Seven reps of Flying Squirrels, Merkins, and Sit-ups. WWL had playtime at the playground. Burpees and Pull-ups along with running fast around the playground. Did I mention Power Skips? Maximum had a simple plan. Run backwards up the hill many times and destroy your abs with American Hammers.
We closed the chapter on the first 10 years.
Monday begin the next.
The future is bright.
How will you contribute to the next 10 years?
Make an impact.

The Final Countdown

Leave a comment

The day finally arrived for our CSAUP, The FInal Countdown. The rainy weather was not ideal, but it helped keep the temperature and humidity down for ideal running conditions. 67 men participated in the event. Most groups participated in the relay. Ruckers and trail runners fought the elements and got their work done to.
Relay details:   The first Pax will run 3 miles and return to the starting point.  The 1st and 2nd Pax will run 3 miles and return to the starting point. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd runner will run the final 3 miles.  Each route will be unique.  If you get lost, just run 3 miles and return back to the park.

Total miles:  3+3+3 = 10 F3 math   (Runner 1 – 9 miles, Runner 2 – 6 miles, Runner 3 – 3 miles)

Inspiring stuff this morning. River Rat’s 2.0s ran the course like it was a lap around the track. Lots of guys ran distances they have never run before.
We’ve got a good pool of runners for the upcoming Dam to Dam Relay.

Great job by everyone this morning!
