Flexing

We spent most of our time on challenges that @Mainframe “could have accomplished 20 years ago.”
Notes: @Peta needs a side career doing voice overs
   @Joe Lyons (F3 Long Duck) is actually from GA, which makes the bulldog thing understandable
   @Slapshot and @fishstix stayed towards the 6 to make YHC feel like the workout was challenging
   @SouptoNuts brought a co-worker (Joe Blow) along to commiserate. He name dropped @Royale_F3
   @photobomb and @Badlands were psychic on the lack of running and got more in on their own. For an extra fee, they’ll do tarot card readings
   @Sprocket is considering building a company based around puzzles of Mark Rothko paintings
   @Shady & @Esso seemed enamored with how many picnic benches you can fit under an awning

Kept it light on running as recovering from giving blood apparently takes me a long while. Spent a lot of time on mobility and leg exercises. And hey, you can learn a lot on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuLyss7FkFc

The pistol squats after a ton of lunge walking pissed guys off. 🙂

We figured it all out

WARMUP: ran to the back entrance of the school, 20 SSH, 20 merkins, 10 low slow squats, 8 windmills, 10 cherry pickers.
THE THANG: sets of 4 on 3 exercises. Started with 20 step ups, 20 dips, 25 flutters – we did this 4x.

Then YHC discovered a new fence in the ROTC area but it had a gate where we figured out how to open it. Next set was 10 pull ups, 20 merkins, 20 squats – 4x.

Next was a run around to the bus lot for lunge walks, then more running, then 20 CDDs, 20 crunches…rinse and repeat with 20 lunges added in.

As we ran all over campus, we talked about new energy and new ideas for Bushwood – all things Fogerty is taking to the memory bank. And Old Bay has got some ideas!

COT:
Quote from Airborne: It’s easier to raise a son than fix a broken young man. Try to do the harder thing (like waking up to workout). Cause that harder thing for me is often being patient and soft with my words around a 9-year old boy that shares my last name. I’m more emotionally built to power through burpee snatches… parenting effectively takes work
