The Monday After

Leave a comment

It’s the Monday after a great CSAUP, wet, rainy, and pollen filled air. Three men went on an adventure on the trails behind the school, half a loop exiting at the bottom of the hill near the new construction.
We made a few stops to do a set of merkins and squats.
Great to get some fresh air, exercises, and fellowship this morning.

Mosey back to AO – stopping periodically for 21 Carolina Drydocks and 21 Knee Tar Jais.

There’s an old Italian saying, “after the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box.” When our days are done, it doesn’t matter how much money we made or how fine our possessions were. We should use our time to get right, live right, and lead right so we can leave right. Stay humble, be kind, and love always. That’s the legacy that lasts beyond when we close the box on the game.

Aye!

Purple Unicorns with Glitter Accents

Leave a comment

Nice morning at The Armory.

Ran the bells across the lot. dropped and circled for a warm-up.
walkers (Imperial/Hillbilly), merkins, squats, LBC, Rinse & R.

7 boards set out. Rotate from one board to the next with a short run in between. Boards had bell exercise 15 count, both sides (L & R), non-bell exercise, finished by a 10 count bell exercise, both sides.

Returned across the lot with the boards and flipped the one at a time until time ran out.

Lots of lifting.

Thanks for the opportunity, first bell Q in many, many years.

Looks like we made it,
