Tax Man Cometh

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SHH, IW, squats, run a lap in silence to remember Liza Fletcher. Lady from Memphis that was kidnapped, assaulted, and murdered while out on her morning run. She was a friend of my sisters and this hit home for me.

THE THANG: 3 rounds max reps you vs partner. A 100 dash was the timer for each exercise for each person. Upon completion of the exercise each person shared their total rep count. The person with the fewest reps had to do Burpees. Total number of burpees was the rep count differential after each exercise.
Round 1: curls, Uhauls, swings
Round 2: hammer curls, squats, tri extensions
Round 3: merkins on the bell, deadlifts, lawnmower pulls

Bonus: Sugar bug and Slash teamed up to tie every round. As a result they received burpee penalties every round.

My merkin form was called into question by Band Camp. I think this is purely a result of his kettlebell weight being 52lbs vs my 45lb. Band Camp had burpee penalties every round 🙂

What’s the count?

Big crowd at Clydesdales this morning. The planned route was followed by some and others took their own path. Twister has a new pair of shoes. Apparently, they were out of all the men’s colors.

Mosey to Church Lot

WARMUP: pre-stretching OYO
THE THANG: ran 1 big loop. Route was down 160 to White street, all the way to Kanawha up to Spratt, then down Harris alllll the way (hills included) to Munn and back to COT.

Some PAX cut over before Kanawha, some PAX added in extra down by Sam Smith or old Kingsley…but all PAX came back soaked with sweat and up 1-0.

Only a little lost

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, IW, HW, Shoulder Taps, slow merkins

THE THANG:
mosey around until I got lost.
Stop along the way for:
10 Merkins
9 squats
8 LBCs
7 Carolina Dry Docks
6 Jump Squats
5 American Hammers
4 Hand Release merkins
3 Jump Lunges
2 Flutters
1 Burpee
Did the full set each stop. I think we stopped around 6 times.

I ran to what used to be an event center to do another round and was informed it’s now a private residence. Better to be dissuaded by your friends than run off by someone wielding a shotgun.

We got a little far afield today. 3 total miles. Unintentional message of the day: How do you respond when your leader is clearly lost?

Planned message: you’ve done something challenging today. Don’t shy away from other challenges as they face you. You may need to press forward and persevere, or you may need to hold back and assess. Both decisions require different kinds of toughness.

Thanks Radar for the call to lead outside the my home region. Was great to be in Belmont this morning.
