Day: July 18, 2021

It was another great morning at Folsom. There was lots of work put in with a fellowship also being strong.

The story of YHC leading a crew that worked a wrestling charter was told.  It was good time with a great group of HIMS. Folsom knows their wrestling history that is for sure.

Some ran and others rucked and then we a  great 3rd F discussion.

(Un) Fortunately Bubba Sparks, Gavel, and Rebar took me up on the old “starting at 0600 but I’ll show up earlier if anyone wants” plan.  They suggested 0530 so I couldn’t fartsack and leave them hanging. We took off towards Martha’s then circled back to make sure no one showed up at 0600. We saw JJ a couple times getting an early run in before church. Buckeye and Sargento were also getting a few extra miles in. As my kids would say, Buckeye’s fit was bussin.  In other words, his outfit was sharp. He claimed to be “colorblind” but that was clearly not the issue. Sargento was sporting a cup of Joe when he arrived.  I don’t think I get runners. Between the pre-run coffee and “bussin fits” I just don’t get it. Maybe that is the point though…..Sometimes I think I could be a runner or that I am a “runner” but then stuff like this happens and it makes me reconsider. At least for now, I am a rucker. Initially this was out of necessity due to injuries, but I really think these are my people. Between the NUOS workouts and Coconut Horse and other rucking AOs , it just feels right………where was I? Back to the BB…..We had 4 ruckers, a bunch of runners, did a variety of routes, then ended with COT.

Q Source starts next week with Cowboy Ethics. Today we had a great discussion that lasted longer than expected. We have quoted Jocko so many times over the last few years. I found a list of “Powerful Jocko Willink Quotes to Motivate Leaders.” We ran through a few of these and pretty much everyone chimed in with something. If you search the above quote on the interwebs and take a look.

Thanks for another great morning-Whoopee

BTW…..has anyone seen Gastone?

This was the second dads workout of the summer with just one more to go.  Make sure you bring your 2.0s out on Saturday August 21, 2021 to Biggerstaff Park in Dallas (Folsom).  These kids are awesome.  Its so much fun to watch them just be in the moment and having fun and best of all, they are doing it with the most important men in their life.

Thang:  We gathered in the parking lot and ran, walked, jogged up to the field at Grier where Wojo had been hard at work putting the obstacles and coupons together.

We circle up and start the warm up.  Gravel pickers, Don Quixote, Arm circles and SSH.

Wojo moves us to the field to for running drills: All drills were to the end and back. High knees, butt kickers, running skips, skip jumps, side shuffles, bear crawls arms in, bear crawls arms out and gorilla hops.

Move to the end of the field for cone and ladder drills x3.

Balloon relay.  Grab a water balloon and run to chair, pop it and run back and tag your partner.  Repeat until all done for the winner.  Next was the “fill the bucket relay” where you took a cup of water to the other end and put it in the bucket.  Turns out that team #1 won both.  Wojo was on both so I presume a fix was in.

Sharks and minnows with a twist.  first time tag your own 2.0s but there are boundaries so the kids cant go wherever they want.  Next, the kids take a water balloon to hit their dad. If they miss, they do five burpees, if they hit, the dads do five burpees.

Thats time so we circle up, name two FNG 2.0s, COT gather up the coupons and head back to the lot for snacks and drinks.
