Discipline Equals Freedom

Crisp morning in big D with a few guys rolling in from EC who obviously saw the Q list and said “I’ll probably need to get in a little extra”. 7:00 am, Wirenut rolls in “almost” on time so now we can start.
Warmup… typical stuff with a few stretches. Let’s Pledge.
Quotes for the day from noted Navy Seal and Motivational speaker Jocko Willink.

Quote #1 – “Don’t just think. Don’t just talk. Don’t just dream. None of that matters. The only thing that matters is that you actually Do. So: DO.”

Mosey around town a little to a newish parking lot for Sidewalk Chalk. 7 spaces with exercises. Perform the exercises to the reps listed and take a lap around the outside of the parking lot then move to the next parking spot. The exercises listed were:
10 Burpees
20 Merkins
30 CDD’s
40 Squats
50 Plank Jacks
60 LBC’s
70 SSH

Quote #2 – “Discipline Equals Freedom.” The name of his book and a hard truth.

Mosey around town through an alley around the Town Square to the entrance where the 24 lb. smaller blocks had been strategically placed.
30 Curls run the courthouse steps to the other entrance for 15 Big Boy Sit Ups and return to the first entrance running the steps again.
Repeat with 30 Overhead presses then American Hammers.
Repeat with 30 Tricep Extensions then Flutter Kicks.
Repeat with Curls and Big Boys.
A certain grandfather may have been using a block in each hand. It blesses my heart to see the active grandparents.

Quote #3 – “We all have a tendency to avoid our weaknesses. When we do that, we never progress or get any better.”

Mosey around the square again only to wind up at the Gazebo for some Ab work picking up a stray wanderer moseying through town alone obviously longing for days gone by when he was a high level town administrator so we decided to take him into our fold. Come on in Mayor. There was a discussion about whether Mayor was trying to double dip on the points for the Pushing Rocks challenge but not gonna happen on my watch. Glad to have you join but, No Rep!

Low Plank for what was seemingly the longest 1 minute ever recorded.

Quote #4 – “Good leaders don’t make excuses. Instead, they figure out a way to get things done.”

Mosey back to the start rolling by Kotter’s Korner and then since several minutes remained we took a lap around the track to finish up.

Quote #5 – “Don’t expect to be motivated every day to get out there and make things happen. You won’t be. Don’t count on motivation. Count on Discipline.” – Jocko Willink
