Chasing Pots of Gold-en Corral

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Brief but we managed a few Moroccan Night Clubs, Shoulder Taps, Boxcuttahs
THE THANG: Mozy to the church where there was a cone in each parking lane. Pax ran the length of one lane and back the other in a U shape to complete the exercise at the cone. We ran back and forth like we were following the rainbow looking for gold. I know it’s a stretch, but it is almost St. Patty’s Day. Pax completed 100 reps at the first cone, 90 at the second with each trip decreasing by 10 reps. From 100 down, exercises were SSH, LBCs, Squats, Mountain Climbers, Plank Jacks, Dips, CDDs, American Hammers, Merkins, Burpees.
Pax then faces each other in the plank position for 4 plank jacks, 4 mountain climbers, 4 shoulder taps, 4 Superman’s. Once completed, we repeated it at 8, 16 and 32 reps.
Mozy through COT to drop off the cones then stopped at the side of HT for wall sits and burpees.
MARY: No Mary, or Patty either
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Newsletter, Jaeger, convergence.

The Impossible Mile

Leave a comment

20 men rolled out of bed and got better this morning. There were ruckers, runners, and bootcampers. Conditions were pleasant (44 and clear). Here’s what we did:

The Thang
“The Impossible Mile Challenge”
– 1 Lap Burpee Broadjump
– 1 lap Lunge Walk
– 1 lap Bear Crawl
– 1 lap Run

<@UGU3XR5RP> finished first and thus was crowned “King of the Ring.”

NMM
We take on these challenges to prove our strength. On the surface, this was a physical beast. But during the challenge, it was apparent that this was just as much mental. No one chooses to do these exercises on their own. Candidly, it’s dangerous, difficult, and dare I say, impossible. But there’s a lesson in the face of challenges: will you quit when it gets hard or will you dig deep and push through? Whatever it takes to keep going, do that. If it means taking a rest and going again, do that. You must push past your perceived limitations to find the strength within. You have what it takes. Keep going.

Aye!

DORA Rules at GC

Leave a comment

YHC was honored to be given the Q stick at Golden Corral by Half Shell today. This represented my first trip back in the gloom at 100% since dealing with a post D2D bronchitis and my spirits were excited about the opportunity. While not yet Springlike weather, the Pax were quickly sweaty from the downpainment on the day.

After seeing a post by IJ, I decided to maximize the DORA concept at GC today for encouragement, challenge and candor of a partner workout.

All of Them!

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Disclaimer loosened up the vocal cords
THE THANG: run out Richard Crossing to Front St, turn left to Berkshire, so 2 laps, return on Front/Richards Crossing

Message at end referred to 33 yr anniversary for me/M last wk and question from Pirate about what was the hardest phase. As Cyclops would say “all of them” AND they’ve also ALL been the best phase. How can you adjust your mindset to “both/and” and away from the “either/or” nature our culture seems to impose?

MARY: nope, she stayed in fartsack
ANNOUNCEMENTS: March 14 convergence, March 1 final Battle Bot Q at Alcatraz
COT: Davinci, wedding anniversary
