Why did the Frog cross 160?

WARMUP: Ruck up!
THE THANG:
We left Kinsgley, heading south across 160, in the darkness of the gloom. Our goal was to check on those PAX loafing at The Coach’s Box. Very little traffic this early in the morning, so no troubles crossing. Lots of chatter about the recent Aaron Rodgers injury… could we match his snap count in miles this morning?
We had a great pace down Munn Rd, crossing to get onto FMHS property. Stopped in the student lot to do some exercises IC: Squats, Merkins, Shoulder Press. Ruck Up and continue.
Witnessed some loafing at the Coach’s Box. I guess that’s what happens when Cyclops is DR.
Touched HWY 21 and made the 180.
Stopped at the Gym for a few more exercises OYO: Step Ups and Dips on the benches. Ruck Up!
Good pace back across the parking lots and up the most underrated hill in The Fort by the football stadium.
Sugarbug and Shady began reminiscing of Michigan, it was too dark to tell if any tears were shed. Perhaps YHC will visit one day.
Stopped in the bank parking lot for a few more exercises IC: Squats, Up Right Rows and Shoulder press.
Safely made it back across 160. Made a small lap around the front of Kingsley and back to CoT. All PAX made it 3miles.
Perhaps Aaron Rodgers should ruck during his rehab?
MARY: None
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Were made.
COT: Stays in CoT.

Remembering Cash

Took a few moments to remind the Pax about the AO. The Coop was renamed “Ring of Fire” in honor of Cash (Hospital name Jay Griggs) . He was given the name “Cash” as in Johnny Cash due to his all black outfit he worn at his first workout along with his hometown of Nashville, TN. Cash passed away in September 2020. I did not know him personally, but he had a significant impact to several Pax. This impact is continues to shine bright in The Fort.

Warm-up lap around the parking lot. Circle up for exercises ( SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Wind Mills, Moroccan Night Clubs, Arm Stretches).
Next, we each grabbed a cinder block.
Round 1 – Catch me if you can
Partner 1 – farmer carry both blocks
Partner 2 – Merkins and Squats, 5 each
Flip flop
Round 2
Partner 1 – Carry block up to school and back
Partner 2 – Squat Thruster
Flip flop
Round 2
Partner 1 – Carry block up to school and back
Partner 2 – Bent over row
Flip flop
Round 3
Partner 1 – Run to school and back
Partner 2 – Pull-up + Man Maker starting at 1 rep +1 rep until partner returns.

We finished with Cash’s prayer:
Search me Lord. Lead me to you. Help me to be a good man, a good father, a good husband and a good employee. Help me to forgive and release from resentment those that I feel have offended me. Let me see the good in others and draw that goodness out of them.
