3 Lessons of Marcus Aurelius

WARMUP: off to Kimbrell’s after being disclaimed. PAX did LSS, Windmills (approved by Trucker), imperial walkers, hillbilly walkers and 50 side straddle hops – with a declining number of burpees (not approved by Trucker) in between exercises. From there – Mosey to Unity Presbyterian

THE THANG: lesson 1 – The happiness of your life correlated to the quality of your thoughts.
10 burpees followed by 7’s – Diamond merkins at the top of the driveway and squats at the bottom. Plank for the 6 or go get them.

Mosey to First Baptist for lesson 2

Lesson 2 – If you’re distressed by anything external, it is not due to the thing itself, but your estimate of it. And this you possess: the power to revoke it at any moment.

More 7’s – diamond Merkins at one end, run to the opposite end of the lot for squats and repeat until the sequence is complete.

Mosey to downtown Fort Mill on Main Street to find benches – 10 Bulgarian split squats each leg (for a notably absent Band Camp) and provide lesson 3

Lesson 3 – The best revenge is to be unlike the one who performed the injury.

Mosey to COT for a few AB exercises – but just a few – then 0600 was upon us.

Oh Baxter!

We had 21 at for some off campus work.

We moseyed over to Baxter this morning for a little Mary.

Partner 1: 150 Merkins. 200 Hello Weezys, 250 Squats.
Partner 2: Run the stares gauntlet on Main Street.

We formed two lines for an Indian run back to COT for Mary, announcements l, and prayers/praises.

The report is as follows:
– was introduced to a mudslide this morning. It brought back memories of the bars at Auburn. Go War Eagles!
– and are going to go home and watch the movie airplane to prepare for ’s summer job.
– There was an sighting this morning and he was feeling chesty as he kept requesting merkins. He is going to host 10 nine year olds today for his son’s birthday party. We are expecting a steel cage match.
– was present and smelling like a million bucks.
– was introduced to The Milker this morning. We scared off some of the customers in the Starbucks parking lot.
– needs to increase the weight on his vest as he crushed the Indian run.
– is going to bath in Bengay as he knees were saying no mas.
– ’s eye tattooth is looking manly.
– needs to stop at Harris Teeter to pick up flowers as he is celebrating 21 years of wedding bliss.
– was having flashbacks of The Bronx seeing all of the trees cut down on 160.
– is ready for mainstream media with his Ron Burgundy breakdown of Slow Burn.
– and did a divide and conquer approach to the squats. It’s Science?
– is 78 going on 28. He crushed it out there.
– When isn’t dabbling in the markets he is dabbling in pain.
– Get on you Q list, he ready!
– was looking for a 60
– Mole ruck, but settled for a bootcamp.
– and @ironman (Jarvis) rounded us out. Ironman is accelerating and is also ready to get on the Q list.
This is my 100% accurate yet to be verified list by .

More Than A Few Miles

We had 5 PAX, 5 Rucks and 4 Sandbags (allowed for 1 man to rotate in/out).
WARMUP: Not really.
THE THANG: Transport all the gear to the circle in the NE corner of Kingsley. Rucks only – lunge walk around the circle.
Transport all gear to the traffic light to our east for 10 lifts with either Ruck & Sandbag or Ruck-Only.
Shuffle with all gear back to the circle and regroup.
Ruck with all gear to the SE corner of the big parking on the other end of Kingsley.
Rucks only, 5 Man Makers and 10 LBC’s in each corner while shuffling between corners.
This is where the modification entered as I was losing track of time so we had to fast-forward through some of the Weinke.
All gear to the “stage” next to Carolina Ale House.
With all the gear in a pile, each man lined up 2′ apart, facing opposite directions. Starting at one end, we’d pass each coupon from one man to another, utilizing core muscles until all gear was at the other end. We did this several times so every man got to experience the outer and inner posts.
Slick, bear crawl up the 10 steps then jog back to the start and repeat.
Move all gear back to the flag for some rowing.
5 Bent-Over Rows & 5 Upright Rows
Repeat 3 more times.
MARY: Mixed throughout
ANNOUNCEMENTS: MEMORIAL MURPH and other things.
COT: 5th Core Principle
