C for creativity, not c for cookie

WARMUP: disclaimer and go. No messing around.
THE THANG: Ran to the bank for stop 1. 5s and 10s.
– 5 = hand release merkin
– 10 = squats with chin up and hands touching the ground

Next stop was First National bank…5s and 10s. Thanks to Change Order for the idea for the next stop.

Next stop was the round about by model A. 5s and 10s with a 30 count in cadence of flutters.

Head down Hubert Graham to the bottom of the hill. 5s and 10s with 15 in cadence flutters partially sitting up.

Up HG to the light which wasn’t super close so was out of gas at the top. 5s and 10s with American hammer.

Now to head back the same way we came with 5s and 10s at each of the same stops.

Back at COT we did 5s with hand release diamonds and 10s of jump squats.

Run It Like You Stole It… or Forget the Route

Minute Man rolled in at 6:02 — just early enough to technically make the “6ish” window.

?‍♂️ Road Warriors:
• Fogerty, Bass-o-Matic, and YHC tackled Sam Neely to Harvest Point and back — locked in a crisp 10K (6.2 miles) before most people even hit snooze.
• Peach Stand took the scenic route: Sutton, Baxter, Starbucks fly-by. 4.25 miles and the quote of the morning: “6 miles wasn’t in the forecast.”
• Tiller and Minute Man completely ignored the Harvest Point turn like it never existed.
• Tiller hit the Dam and flipped it at 8 miles.
• Minute Man nearly made it to his own driveway before realizing we weren’t behind him — turned back at Dam Rd for 9 miles, crushed That Hill™ like it was flat. Savage move.

? Trail Gang:
• Vuvuzela and Roll Off delivered a trail-running masterclass:
• Vuvuzela lost a shoe mid-run, went full archaeologist to dig it out, and still gutted out 9.5 miles.
• Roll Off sprinted those same 9.5 miles like he was racing the time clock — controlled chaos at its finest.
• Sasquatch went full beast mode: prerun from home to Lake Haigler, ran the workout, then ran home. 10.66 miles — just showing off at this point.
• Everest and Cobra Kai casually dropped 9 miles like it was a warm-up jog.

? Ruck Ops:
• Wegmans did his thing — 3.6 Kingsley loop miles with weight on his back and grit in his soul.

? Shoes were lost. Hills were tamed. Coffee was earned.
?See you next week — no map needed (but maybe bring a phone just in case).

Just Keep Sowing

WARMUP:
Was a couple minutes late so Sasquatch lead the warm up with some merkins, Peter Parker’s, and broga.

THE THANG:
Jogged over to the front of the elementary school
Reps—21-15-9
Merkins and Squats

– Shared that my parents have been one of the biggest influences in my life. They’ve truly showed me what it means to love your neighbor as yourself.

Lap around the compound (~3/4 mile)

– It’s not our responsibility to judge others and their circumstances. Some folks didn’t have a choice for the life they were born into, others just made a mistake. If you have the capacity to, help others in whatever way you can.

5 rounds, 20 reps each
Merkins, Mountain Climbers (SC), Squats

Lap around the compound (~3/4 mile)

– All we’re supposed to do is sow seeds. There are a few seeds in an apple (5-8), but how many apples can you get from a seed? Hundreds.

Reps – tel:50-40-30-20
Merkins, Big Boys, and sprints
E.g. 50 merkins, 50, big boys, 500m sprints(5 rounds of ~100m sprints)

– Just keep sowing seeds. It’s not our responsibility to ensure they grow, just to sow.

Berkshire Loop

WARMUP: None – Not @ STL
THE THANG: Nine HIMs showed up ready to put in work for a Baxter-to-Berkshire loop beatdown. We took off on foot for the Berkshire loop, stopping at every stop sign to drop:
• 5 Jump Squats
• 5 Regular Squats
• 15 Merkins

:vertical_traffic_light:Those stop signs added up fast — and so did the burn.

We completed 3 total loops. The final lap brought a twist for YHC who called an audible and cut the reps to squeeze in that last lap. Strong move for max mileage but serval PAX got them in.

:straight_ruler: Distance: Just shy of 4 miles
:fire: Legs were smoked. Chests were tight. Spirits were high.
MARY: None
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Tortose & The Hare, Bethal Men’s,
COT: Sasquatch & Spector’s Anniversary

Message of the Day
:clock4: Today is National Leave the Office Early Day.

It’s a great reminder that time is something we don’t get back.
That’s why I try to stay focused during the day—avoiding distractions like social media or unnecessary tasks—so I can truly disconnect and spend time with my family in the evenings.

I work out early in the morning before the day starts, not just for the routine, but so my evenings are open and intentional.

If we manage our time wisely during the workday, we create space for what matters most after it.
Work hard. Be efficient. And make sure your time reflects your priorities.
