Day: April 10, 2024

5 of us, all runners for once, at The Sword, as we were all fighting something, whether battling the mentals or just trying to keep up with a 17 year-old and a Slawbag.

Verse for the day is Matthew 5:13: “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses it’s saltiness, how can it be made salty again?  It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

A few things:

1. Pointing out the obvious, but salt has to be salty.  Otherwise it’s not salt.
2. Salt can lose its saltiness only by being covered up by things that aren’t salt.
3. Work to keep from being covered up, especially by things that don’t matter.
4. Be Salty Salt.

Happy to have Westside there after the Spartan.  That HIM always has good stuff to add to the conversation and is as sharp mentally as he is swole physically.

Another great way to start a Monday

A solid crowd of 6 knuckleheads  and a Scrat did “the Teeter route backwards”.  Or was it forwards?  We never knew.

A classic 2.5 mile EC Route at Martha’s, manifested in the mind of the legendary Dirt himself, repurposed for ruckers seeking something fresh.

We also did:

• 10 x Thrusters (OYO)
• 10 x Double Crunches (OYO)
• 10 x American Hammers (OYO)

before we left and again halfway.

Solid work and solid company.

3 members of Team 10 and 1 from Team 11 put in work at the Bulldog on a fine Thursday during Spring Break.

There were kettlebells and dumbbells and side planks and 6 inches and planks and running around islands and core work and a modified Wolfpack Grinder to get ready for the game.

4 years in and I finally lost a Weinke and had a bout of amnesia that kept me from remembering the details of the workout.  I just remember the name I was going to give the backblast.  In asking those who were there, here’s what they remember:

“Lost the weinke?  Kettlebell swings and things.  Dora around the islands.  Mosey to the track and back.”

“3 workouts by the benches and the 4th workout was walking with dumbbells to the end of the street and back, then rotate.  Heels to Heaven, Big Boys, and Dips maybe?”

“We carried dumbbells, did some stuff, then did other stuff.”

“Can’t talk now, my kid’s playing his instrument with his meat stick.”

Hate to see it.
