Graveyard shift

20 squats at the West entrance to Unity church
20 merkins at Steele St
20 LBCs on E Hill
20 Grave Diggers on Unity

Three laps were completed. Then 20 squats at Unity church. Then run up and down the steps at First Baptist for 20 merkins. Down to Academy and up to do LBCs at the Axe place. Then back to COT

MARY: 90 seconds of Mary
COT: Circle of Trust initiated. What’s on men’s hearts? Get the internal external. F3 is for all men. ALL of them. Not just those of our preferred flavor of a religion. F3 helps everyone. If somehow it saves a soul from the perspective of any particular PAX, great. We’re here to make leaders of all men, let’s keep on keeping on.

Just run in circles is all I said

WARMUP: gave the route of the big circle and the small circle. If you know you know and we had no FNGs so they knew.
THE THANG: we ran in the circles
MARY: none but everyone came back from running in circles
ANNOUNCEMENTS: upcoming convergence and nothing else related to circles
COT: no mention of circles but we did a ball of man which is like a circle

Counting Down from 100

WARMUP:
Quick COP warm-up with Imperial Walkers, Seal Jacks, and Hill Billy Walkers.

THE THANG:
Mosey down to oval loop in front of Springfield Middle. Near school entrance we started with a 100 reps of an exercise. We then ran (together) down to the lower part of the loop. For a portion of the run, pax had to do a moving exercise, determined by one pax drawing from a bucket ‘o pain. At the lower part of the loop, we then did 90 reps of a different exercise. Once all pax were done, we ran back to the top part in front of the school entrance (scaling a small wall that was part of the loop).
We repeated, counting down to 10 exercises. Here was the list.

100 Flutters
90 Squats
80 Shoulder Taps
70 Hello Dollys
60 SSH
55 LBCs
50 Merkins
40 Speed Skaters
30 Lunges
20 Burpees
10 Big Boy Sit-ups

We ended up skipping the lunges due to time, but we added some Bombjacks at the end, thanks to some nudging from BandCamp.

YHC had the opportunity to share my testimony and try to encourage all pax that each person’s testimony is their own uniquely, God-created, story…including the testimonies being lived out by our kids.

The mumble chatter was fantastic, as we learned perhaps a bit too much about CakeBoss’ impending first “official” colonoscopy. Thanks RainMaker for the opportunity to lead.

GoRuck’s Valentine’s Day Massacre

Straight from the email inbox, delivered from GoRuck’s Tribe workouts, we performed The Valentine’s Day Massacre-Post Mortem (or most of it, at least)
WARMUP: Carry all sand bags to our starting point for a few of the typical warmup exercises.
THE THANG:
Buy-In: 100 Sandbag Back Squats
Then, 4 Rounds:
200m Sandbag Shuffle
20 Sandbag Clean & Front Toss
20 Bear Crawl Sandbag Drags (each drag=1)
20 Sandbag Shoulder-to-Shoulders (each side=1)
Cash-Out: 100 Sandbag Front Squats (Punchlist did finish, I did not)

2 Things happened this morning that I greatly appreciate:
1. When starting round 4, it appeared that I had enough time to complete so I made a comment about taking my foot off the gas. Band Camp then said he’d murder me if I let up, I’m paraphrasing. I appreciate the reminder that just because I’ve done good work before, it’s not a hall pass to coast into the perceived finish line.
2. While executing the Cash-Out Squats, I was nearing squat #20 and my form was beginning to suffer. I was leaning forward at the waist and compromising form. Seeing this, Punchlist called me out by name stating my error noting this was not the proper way to perform a squat, especially with the added weight of a sandbag. This means a ton to me because that translates to someone caring enough about me to not let me live incorrectly. You may roll your eyes at the connection but I could have easily continued my incorrect squats and have nothing happen. Or, I could’ve easily injured myself. Regardless, I wasn’t realizing the benefit of doing the hard work and PL saw that. I appreciate that.

MARY: Assumed it was included in the above.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Yes
COT: 5th Core Principle
