THE SCENE: 58* and rainy
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
It would be kind of silly to have a bridge to warm up under and not use it right? Slowzy to the underpass before warm up exercises:
Imperial squat walker x10 IC
Four count merkins x10 IC
TN walking horse x10 IC
Grady Corns x20 IC
THA-THANG:
Short mosey from the underpass over to the amphitheater, where we modify the Q to stay out of the rain (though not dry).
First routine is Dora starting from top of amphitheater steps, so pair up. One guy at the top performing exercises, the other sprints down the stairs, jumps on stage and runs to the farthest point (don’t run into the pond…) and knocks out 5 merkins before turning around and sprinting back up the stairs to reliever their partner. Exercises as follows:
- Pull ups/inverted rows x100
- Burpees x100
- Star Jumps x100
Recover and assemble on the stage for modified Route 66. Placed a ruck in the middle of the stage as the half way point, maybe a tad shorter than light pole distance but worked fine. First round of Route 66 was runs with sit up ups, obviously going 1:11. Quick 10 count off before we do another round of Route 66, bear crawling between and doing Jack Webb’s 1:11. Shoulders were smokeeddddd.
MARY:
No time for Mary
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
4 very not dry ballers: Swanson, Ariel, G6, Abort
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
At another workout, I had shared a quote which I didn’t realize was so fitting for the group of men I’m fortunate enough to surround myself with: “A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.” When I shared it, I really liked it and therefore planned a workout with rocks near a big church. But what I was unaware of was the HIMs that I share my mornings with have visions of cathedrals in their minds, and the strength and determination to turn those visions into actions. Those actions into their dreams. I am extremely fortunate to be in such close proximity to these men, and my hope I take in what I see and hear to emulate them such that one day I might find the rocks and become the architect as well.
Prayers this morning are for discernment. I requested selfishly for this for myself, but noted that I am aware that every man in that COT needed it more than me.
