Adding Gardenia

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Not typically done at this AO. Try to get here early enough to manage yourself.
THE THANG:
Run towards Gardenia every stop sign we did and additional merkin starting with 1. There are 10 stop signs.

7s on the hill – burpees and bomb jacks. We only got two rounds in. That hill is hard

Run back with merkins the same way. Total merkins 110.

MARY:
Throw the 60lb sandball over your shoulder once when you get back

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Xmas party

COT: was held.

If during your childhood the holidays were nothing but joy and wonder—never realizing how many people spend this season hurting over loss, stress, or heartache—then what an amazing gift your parents gave you. Think about that now that we’re the men creating a holiday environment in the depths of winter for our families.

Horse Shoe of Pain

Leave a comment

It was a crisp cool morning at Block Party, but the pain quickly brought warmth.
Quick mosey, warmups and we were off.

We ran down to the horse shoe driveway known as the Unity Church for lucky 7’s.
1 Squat, 1 Futter, 1 Merkin at the three points on the horse shoe. We did 7 loops around the driveway increasing the reps by one on each lap.

Next we ran over to the other church stairs down the road for a mini Dora.
Partner 1: 50 Lunges, 100 SSH’s, 150 American Hammers
Partner 2: Run a figure 8 up and down the stairs
Moseyed over to the lot across from Amoure Artis for some Mary with burpees (breathing exercises).

Back to COT for some more Mary, announcements, and prayer/praises.

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!

What it is to be a Good Man

Leave a comment

WARMUP: In Cadence: Imperial Walkers, Cherry Pickers, Hillbilly Walkers & Windmills. Counted off.

THE THANG: Took off for a basic run and boot. 3.02 miles with stops along the way.
Pain Station stops included: merkins, squats, burpees, cocaine bear crawls, Carolina dry docks, jump squats, etc as we moseyed from COT to Dam Rd and back.

Many words were given and they all mattered and defined. From honest, accountable, virtuous, dependable etc all great words. There is no perfect definition but we should all be striving to make sure we are doing all we can to be a Good Man because the world badly needs Good Men. The words above that we do without thinking keep it up, those that we have to strive to do better at – keep working at it – the world needs GOOD MEN. You have 31 days to close 2025 and set the tone for 2026 – go be a Good Man!

MARY: Sprints, hot white speed sprints!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Announced, Fort fill free to edit – Rock Hill announcements pertinent to Fort is F3 in RH Christmas Parade this Friday Dec 5th – see me if you’d like to join. SLT Handoffs Jan 1st NYD Convergence.

COT: Prayers and praises and I prayed us out.

Thankful for the privilege to lead this workout.
