Kicking Ass & Chewing Bubble Gum

Driving around FM the night before running errands and thinking about my Q at the Stockade. Reviewed a few BBs and didn’t see any references to coupons. Messaged The Pirate, who was Qing at Varsity, and asked if I could borrow a few Cindys. He was very much obliged as I took a few off his AO. Woke up this morning with a car packed full of Cindys and a plan, the only thing left to do was to kick ass and chew gum.

End of the Road

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.

Veterans Day at Vets Park

Run to Parking Lot behind Amor

11 SSH
11 Windmills
11 IW
11 HW
11 Mnt Climbers

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
28 merkins 56 calf raises
Run back to the bottom 28 merkins 56 calf raises 112 flutters
Run back to the top of massey 28 merkins 56 calf raises and 112 LBC’s
Run back to the bottom of the hill

11 Hello Dollys IC
