Day: October 27, 2017

Coming off the Tuna 200 YHC thought that the BlockBuster would be a good workout to bring back.  Mayor made the suggestion of incorporating the stairs that led to the upper lot so I couldn’t disappoint. After dropping off the coupons, I made my way to the parking lot to wait on the Pax.  We might have to find a new place to park at #GoatIsland.  I believe there are 4 different workout groups taking place now.  As the Pax rolled in I started counting to make sure everyone would have a coupon.  12 on the money.  Let’s go get it.

Pledge

NO WARMUP

Thang; Mosey around sidewalk and incorporate stairs for 2 laps, ( just over a 1/2 mile) then meet in the upper parking lot where the coupons were waiting.

6 exercises with coupon for 10 reps IC per exercise.

Curls, French Curls, Squats, Overhead Press, Good Mornings, Front Raises

Run 2 laps.  Repeat exercises.  Run 2 laps. Repeat exercises.  Run 2 laps.

Circle up for 5 mins of Mary; 10 burpees OYO, 10 Monkey Humpers IC

Moleskin;  Nice work by all Pax, there was a train somewhere in the mix so we hit 5 burpees OYO.   Gastone asked when the fun was going to start and I told him it started when he got out of the car.  Thanks to Spec and Slim Shady for the push on the runs.  I have learned that fitness at any level  is mostly mental.  There is a battle taking place inside your head and all you have to do is keep pushing through what your mind is telling you.  The last leg of the Tuna 200 had me fighting this same battle and no matter what DFQ!  It was an honor to lead you men.

A brief word:  The toughest battle you’ll ever fight in your life is the battle within yourself.”  You can’t expect to lead your family if you aren’t winning the battle inside yourself.  Do things that are good for you and stop doing the things that are bad.

Mosey to bridge:  Bear Crawl the bridge and Lung walk back

“The most challenging of all resistance comes from within. The similarity with all warriors is that they’re always battling demons within themselves. It’s a constant battle, that has to be fought non-stop.” Tim Kennedy

Stop before the Pavilion for descending burpees 10-8-6-6-6? with some sharing in between.  We learned the struggles within can be confidence, struggles with family illness, etc.  We need to do our best to fix ourselves and give the ones closest to us our best efforts and model proper behavior to those around us, particularly our children and spouse.

During the burpees SLAW either couldn’t count (likely)  but as the trains continued to roll by, 5 burpees oyo became 6 and then at one point Slaw couldn’t stop doing burpees so I had to call time.  Jailbreak was called by EZ Rider and we returned to the Pavilion better men just in time for the COT.

Prayers for Clavin’s mom, EZ Rider’s family, Def Leppard’s son Logan, Hush Puppy’s M.

A pleasure to lead as always!  You don’t need to Q to have that Q strength, but it helps!
