Four sets of ten (minutes)

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Skipped it. To much “thang” to do.
THE THANG: The plan was simple, complete four ten minute stations in different locations in 45 minutes. To stay on track, we did a 5:14am disclosure and skipped the obligatory warmup of SSH, windmills, etc.
Quick mozy to station one by the closed dental practice to pickup stones from the dry creek bed. For ten minutes we used the rocks for 20 reps each of flutters with press, triceps extensions, biceps curls, upright rows, halos, and presses. After ten minutes we returned the stones and ran to the church parking lot for station two.
Station two was simple; running for ten minutes. One long length of the parking lot was a run, at the end we walked to the next straightaway then sprinted back. At the end we walked until we got back to the start for the next run/walk/sprint/walk cycle. Rinse and repeat until the timer went off and we ran to the shelter for station three; body weight exercises.
At station three we did 20 reps each of calf raises, step ups, dips, merkins, Carolina dry docks, and bomb jacks. Rinse and repeat for ten minutes. When the ten minute timer went off we ran to COT for station four; Mary.
At station four we did 20 reps each of LBCs, box cuttahs, flutters, BBS, Freddy Mercurys, leg lifts to 45 degrees. Rinse and repeat for 10 minutes.
We were able to get almost all of it completed by 6:00.

From there we ran to the second cone for dips, squats, flutters and Mike Tyson’s. Back to start then to cone three for CDD, bomb jacks, American hammers, SSH. Ran to start then on to cone four for merkins, calf raises, BBS, and burpees. (20 reps for each exercise at each cone)
Quick mozy back to start then we ran to the top of the hill and partnered up. At the top of the hill, each partner did three burpees then ran to opposite sides of the hill for 50 reps each of the selected exercise. After each exercise they ran back to the top for three burpees with their partner. Rinse and repeat with SSH, LBCs, Merkins, Squats, Overhead claps, CDD.

2025.37 Slow Burn

Leave a comment

TBH All I knew I wanted to do was 10 sets of burpees and bear crawls. Each bear crawl was 40 yds and burpees started at 10 and went to 1. In between sets run toward Shutterfly and find the next opportunity to find 40 yds of unoccupied pavement.

I have a heavy heart now and it wasn’t any better at the time. The fact that flags were there flying at half mast in front of Shutterfly was a good reminder of who we are and what needs to happen next from an immediate and existential standpoint, so we recited the Pledge of Allegiance.

I’m currently reading Plato’s writing on Socrates and the present parallels are not lost on me. A man was executed for “impiety” and “corrupting the youth”. He asked questions. He didn’t properly attend to the gods. He challenged authority.

The bottom line is that we need both political parties. Without challenge, a uniparty would become weak and invalid. I would say we need more, but I digress. We should all be praying for the prosperity of both political parties to the betterment of the individuals they serve.

God forgive us, for we know not what we do.
