Running Street Jackson

Tried to make a pun on an Outkast song lyric “I’m sorry Ms. Jackson” by saying “We’re running street Jackson.” But much like running Jackson Street, it wasn’t funny. (Although I laughed)

Ran for a mile
Core work for the 6
5 burpees
10 hand release merkins
16 split squats (8 each leg)

Rinse and Repeat

Keep after it. Awesome to see guys that don’t typically run 3+ miles in the gloom crush it today.

7-17-2023 Simple

All veterans so quick disclaimer, run to back for 7 HR merkins, 17 morracan night clubs, and 23 SSHs. I decided last night to just keep it simple and use the date. Run to gravel lot, 7 squats, 17 overhead claps, and 23 seal jacks. Run to Toastery, 7 HR merkins, 17 MNCs, and 23 SSHs. Run to bank lot in front of Walmart.

I wanted to keep everyone somewhat together before turning loose the speedsters (Tesla, Fishy). Keeping with the date, did 7 bombjacks in bank lot, run down to traffic circle, 7 merkins, back up to bank lot. Repeat with 17, 20, and 23 reps. Pick up the 6 since time was almost up. Make our way back to COT with the same stops on the way back.

Pretty hot out in the gloom right now but I appreciate all the guys coming out and pushing it this morning. Thanks Badlands for the opportunity!

Mosey back to COT

COT: YHC had not Q’ed in some time and while I laid out a clear disclaimer, I failed to recognize that we had an FNG brought to us by Cohiba. Thanks to the pax, we were able to remedy this and provide him with a good name and explanation of F3 and the core principles.

I left the Pax with a question…what times in your life have truly brought you joy? Its a question that I was journaling about last night. What stands out to me is my wedding, the birth of my girls, seeing my girls succeed at something and the fellowship of the Pax

What has truly brought you joy?

Chugging $1 beers downtown

WARMUP: mossy to parking lot across from Little Caesars. 10 windmills, 15 SSH, 15 LSS, 10 merkins. Since Bobber missed half of the warm up, we rinsed and repeated for him.

THE THANG: mossy to the first bar – Pint Shop – for some bar chugging pain. 5 rounds to complete a 1/4 of the Murph (5 pull-ups 10 merkins 15 squats). Run to Emmits, 1 round of 3 exercises (these 3 were repeated at all stops but with different number of rounds – 10 merkins, 15 squats, 20 LBCs). Missy to Armor artis for 2 rounds, mossy to Illumination for 1 round (3 rounds were called but due to high volume of mumble chatter reduced to 1 to avoid cops), mossy to Flower Bar for 2 rounds, lunge walk to FM eatery for 1 round, lunge walk to Hobos for 1 round. Run to intersection with 160 and do 5 burpees then run back to Emmits for 5 burpees. Rinse and repeat one more time then mossy to COT

We all enjoyed the beer chugging pain at each of the drinking holes in downtown. We even discussed opening up a college bar servig $1 beers in plastic cups as this would be a real $$$$ maker.
