Welcome FNG – Tim Jones – Polymer

What a glorious morning… upper 50’s… awesome sleeping weather, but even more awesome for pushing the rock!  Clock hit 5:30am and there were 12 of us ready to have at it.

No FNGs, but we did have a visitor from Atlanta, Radar.  Quick disclaimer and off we go…

Warm Up

SSH – 20 IC
LBC – 15 IC
Cotton Pickers – 10 IC
Burpees – 5 OYO

The Thang

Mosey to the streetlight at the top of the hill at Davis Park.  Do 5 burpees at each streetlight.  There were 5 or 6 of them.

Triple Nickel Halfpipe – 5 jump squats at beginning, at bottom of hill 5 merkins, up the hill to the stop sign 5 LBCs IC, another 5 merkins at bottom of hill on the way back  —  5 sets.

Mosey over to the tennis courts for some suicides (I was unaware until I heard the news later in the day that today is National Suicide Prevention Day)
We lined up along edge of first court. 20 merkins, run to gap between courts 1 & 2, 5 big boy situps — back to beginning, 15 merkins, run to gap between courts 2 & 3, 10 big boys — beginning, 10 merkins, gap between 3 & 4, 15 big boys — beginning, 5 merkins, past court 4, 20 big boys… it makes sense if you don’t think about it

Mosey back to the school for a set of 11’s.  The exercises were CDDs and squats.

TIME!

Pledge of Allegiance

Everyone put in some good hard work to get just a little bit better.  There was a lot of getting on the ground and getting back up throughout this workout.  The ability to get up and down easily and quickly is a great skill to take into your old age and can be a predictor of longevity.  If you don’t develop it now, you won’t have it later!

I shared a short quote from Epictitus.  “We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them.”  Roscoe shared, “You can’t control the wind, but you can adjust your sails.”
