Quick discussion on my Why? As in why I’m still in F3
Short answer is to run faster…(metaphorically as well as literally) I want to be good, I want to be great so I surround myself with people who are better than I. I’m consistently inspired, and impressed with the dudes we have here. All I can do is try and keep up.
Run to the Ft. Mill Baptist 11 Lunges run to confederate street 11 HR merkins run to to the bottom of the hill 11 Bomb Jacks.
Rinse in repeat up and down reducing the reps by one each time. (here my math was off a bit but we got pretty far with this until I called an audible)
Run back to Vets park Where we did a heavily modified version of the Sgt. Major workout. (for veterans day)
28 merkins run to the top of massey

I recently watched the below video about taking action for those relying on you. In it, Chadd Wright describes his role as a breacher in the Seal Team. He would plan the breaching of an obstacle so his team could accomplish their mission. He describes three words that took planning into action: execute, execute, execute.
That’s what people fail to do. If you don’t execute on your plan, especially when you’re tired or scared or stressed, you’re not just cheating yourself, you’re cheating those they rely on you – your family, co-workers, or team.
So ask yourself, what is one decision I’ve been avoiding making that I should instead boldly execute today? When I say, “I’ll wait until conditions are perfect,” am I actually just waiting to avoid discomfort? How clear is my “why” for the work I’m doing — and does it anchor me when things get hard?
Execute today, gentlemen!

Track workout including 2 options:
Run a mile on the track then:
1. Calculate Vo2 max by running hard for 12 minutes
2. Sprint workout with race pace followed by jog (400,800, 1200 meters)
WARMUP: The heartstrings got loosened up out of the gates as Warning Track unloaded some baggage from a tough week, acknowledging the challenges of Living Right through the Flux of life and the importance of showing up this morning to be lifted up by his brothers. He followed up with the Obligatory SSHs and then set off from WEP.
THE THANG:
WT took the pax to the old Pike Elec parking lot stopping for some windmills, burpees and other fun enroute.
Pax broke into groups of 3 for a modified Dora across the parking lot. Midway through WT called audible due to pax incompetence and simplified to Dora in groups of 2. Terrible things like Merkins, squats, lunges, flutters, burpees, etc were unleashed on the pax
WT took pax to Memorial Park for more burpees and more shared pax stories of Why they come out to the Gloom on a wet Sat morning.
DD took the reins and moved the pax to a series of parking lots (pharmacy), Pike front courtyard, Town Hall back wall for pain stops including shoulder taps, wall sits, plank jacks, burpees, mtn climbers, peter parkers, Parker peters, etc.
Pax returned to WEP to appreciate JWOW’s lovely Christmas tree. Two rounds of partner work included bear crawls around tree + flutters followed by crawl bears around tree + HR merkins.
Mosey to grass in front of band shell for more partner work (merkins, shoulder taps, sit ups) interspersed with some burpees and lap around band shell. Finished off with Knee Tar N’dyae and Mahktar N’dyae.
Mosey home

COT: great morning where we welcomed 3 FNGs + a Kotter while pax from 30s to 50s mixed it up and pushed each other to get 1% better.
“Our youth are our present” I heard my pastor say from the pulpit recently. Note he did NOT say “our future.” It’s as true in The Fort and in our community as it is in NYC with a 34 yr old mayor. Younger pax, you ARE leaders today — embrace your opportunity and duty. Seasoned pax — your leadership focus IS about bringing along the next generation of leaders — embrace your opportunity and duty.
We are blessed men to have these roles at this time.
Thanks to JWOW for the opportunity and Warning Track for the partnership.
Love you brothers!
