Park to Calhoun

Leave a comment

WARMUP: it was cold. we’ll warm up on the run
THE THANG: cover distance stop for:
5 burpees
10 merkins
15 squats
added some lunges once
did some leg lifts after a muscle up twice
bear crawled the length of Calhoun St. Parking lot twice too
covered 3.11 miles–except for Beaker (his strava only said 2.98, which feels like a failure on my part. see NMM below)
MARY: flutters in cadence for 1:30 to hit 0600
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Xmas Party 12/12, Bethel service tonight

NMM:

You ever just 3000% took care of everything and crushed it by all outward metrics, but you didn’t do it with JOY in your heart? So your wife, kids, or close friend noticed and it wasn’t the reaction you expected…even though the mission was fully accomplished

It isn’t enough to just do a good job

Handle the mess your kids created with success, but did it in a way that made them feel scared rather than safe? Failure

Take care of business for your family, but made your wife feel like it was a burden rather than a mission? Failure

Maybe it’s just me… 😉 Good thing failure is a way point and not an end point. Let’s stay after it!

End of the Road

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Yea, this is important.
SSH
IW
HW
Plank sequence
Included some dynamic stretching

THE THANG:
String of Pearls
5 burpees
10 merkins
15 squats
20 lunges
25 ……. something

added an exercises each stop. (e.g., first stop = burpees only, second stop = burpees and merkins, etc.)

the 25 rep count was one of the previous exercises. So, when we found the literal end of the road it was stop 5 and we did:
5-burpees
10-merkins
15-squats
20-lunges
25-burpees in cadence

Next end of the road stop was
5-burpees
10-merkins
15-squats
20-lunges
25-merkins

Ran out of time before finding all the ends of the road.

MARY: did imperial squat walkers at COT for the 6….that’s kinda a core exercise, right?
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Food Drive happening now. Thanksgiving Convergence at the Ranch
COT: was held

NMM:

When you find yourself at the end of the road, your left with the same resources that got you there. Gotta use them to get moving again!

I heard a reference to a “second starting” line in terms of my mammon (teaching music). That is: once we learn the notes and rhythms, there’s a second starting line. We’re finally ready to make art rather than simply craft.

When you hit end of a road, turn around and think of it as the second starting line. Ain’t nothing to it, but to do it.

It is what it is!

Leave a comment

As is typical of YHC, I wanted to do some ladder work at the Ballroom to keep the Pax moving today so I researched old backblasts for ideas. While not original, I love reading the old backblasts to see the Pax, the mumblechatter and the work being done. I stumbled on a few good ideas from Fogerty and Cake Boss but settled on a Bonsai from 2022 that included over 700 reps which I thought was appropriate for our 1st sub 30 degree day this Fall.

WARMUP:
After a thorough disclaimer, we commenced to Indian Run to the track with the 6 doing 5 merkins and then sprinting to the lead.

We circled up in the track/football field parking lot for the following:

SSH x 30
Cherry Pickers x 10
Seal Jacks x 20
Windmills x 10
Plank Jacks x 20
IW x 15

We moseyed to find a gate that was open so that YHC could deploy the Weinke.

THE THANG:

Line up on the goal line
Run to the 10 yard line, do 1 burpee
Run to the 20 yard line, do 2 burpees
Ladder up then down to other goal line

Line up on the goal line
Run to the 10 yard line, do 5 merkins
Run to the 20 yard line, do 10 merkins
Ladder up then down to the other goal line Run

Line up on the goal line
Run to the 10 yard line, do 10 squats
Run to the 20 yard line, do 20 squats
Ladder up then down

Line up on the goal line
Run to the 10 yard line, do 10 flutters
Run to the 20 yard line, do 20 flutters
Ladder up to the 50 then pause
Bear crawl the remaining 50 yards

Mosey home
