Backin up Blart… Crossroads 6/5/22

It was an early launch for the DBC and not remembering that Blart told me he wasn’t feeling up to par the night before and might not make it, I forgot to circle back at 06:30 to release the HIMs.  But upon returning I realized the mistake and picked up the six.  It was duly noted that Slaw was not present and there was some speculation as to whether it was a wild night at the latest pinky raising, wine swirling,  and bouquet sniffing vineyard stop or simply the fact that SA had gone to the beach and Slaw was concerned there wouldn’t be any bat flippers available for him to run with???  Fun was had by all!  It was then inside for a discussion on “Get Right”.

Coconut Horse May 29 2022

4 HIM showed for some miles.  2 rucked, 2 ran and three took Q source on the road to Stroganoff’s house.  The topic was Impact which involves forcible movement but also requires proximity.  So as Stroganoff has been battling illness and unable to post we decided (read Roscoe’s idea) to take Q source on the road after running the usual route.  The discussion was lively and hopefully ‘Impactful’

NMM- Thanks to all who came out today. Hard work was done by all. I read a few cleaned up versions of David Goggins’ quotes. He certainly has figured out how to push his body past what most anyone can do. A reminder to take the hardest step of the workout which is the first step out the door. Plan ahead and be consistent.

Hill Work 11-21 style

I saw Volt and Westside getting in some EC as I rolled into Folsom.  I was trying to shake off the tiredness from a late night Board meeting.  Thanks to Sarlacc and Ball Joint for the reminders last night during the meeting!

Mosey to the Pavilion.

11s – 10 Australian Mountain Climbers on the wall/1 Dips on the ledge. The Men that showed up crushed this in minutes, time to step it up.

I looked up and saw the beautiful Hill going up to the Playground. Alright, let’s have some fun.

21s – Merkins at the bottom and squats at the top. The men pushed hard on this one and kept it going strong. The Hill was a beast, but no one faltered. We finished the last round together as a whole group.

ATTENTION! Code Brown at the Coconut

YHC was first to show at the Father’s Day spectacular cardio workout some call the Coconut Horse.  Flintstone arrived next, followed by Stroganoff, then JJ, then DDC.
We recited the #pledgeofallegiance to the phone flag gif and then went our ways out on the course.  Stroganoff ran to Martha’s House.  DDC and JJ ran the original Coconut route while YHC and Flintstone walked/rucked to Martha’s respectively.

Shortly after we left Short Sale ran past us on his way to try to catch up to the other runners.  Upon returning to the HT, we received a text from Short Sale that read, “CODE BROWN, don’t wait on me.”

Stroganoff received the message on his text to voice in his earbuds.  “You have a message from Short Sale….”Code Brown, don’t wait on me.”

Due to this important alert, we were able to complete COT without having to worry that Short Sale was unaccounted for on the route.

We discussed the need for an Amber Alert type system as a public service.  Think of it, we have Silver Alerts for lost and wondering Seniors (Dr. Seuss), we have Amber Alerts for missing children (Gold Digger).  Why shouldn’t there be a Code Brown alert for PAX like Short Sale, Tool Time, Sparky, and Round Up.  We suggested the Weasel Shaker create a change.org petition to make this happen.

The Q Source topic was on Positive Habit Transfer led by YHC but the real truth nuggets came from Stroganoff and his parenting tips.  Great stuff.

Prayers for all the PAX and FATHERS out there!

 

Roscoe
