THA-THANG:
Mosey north out of start point towards parking area, across the railroad tracks and over into the Preacher lot (parking area beside the International) and grab two rocks per person. Pretty simple routine written on the ground of 5 exercises. We start with just the first exercise, do 30 seconds as many reps as possible. Drop the rocks and run about 25 yards to a cone in the parking lot, knock out 2 burpees, then run back to your rock. Then we do 30 seconds of the first exercise and 30 seconds of the second exercise, drop rocks run for burpees and come back. So on and so forth until we are doing all 5 exercises for 30 seconds. Then we start removing one exercise each round and working our way back down. Exercises as follows:
- Curls
- Side raises
- OH press
- OH squad
- OH rock claps
Teased everyone with more rock work after we’d finished our last round, but return rocks to the pile and mosey back across the train tracks and to the start point. Not a ton of time left, so we all found benches and knocked out some exercises:
- 20 box jumps or step ups
- 20 decline merkins
- Run a lap around the fountains
- 20 box jumps or step ups
- 20 dips
- Run a lap around the fountains
Jump in the middle for Mary

Just enough time for 15x flutters and 15x hammers

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I just noticed myself reflecting on the past year as we all do on milestones. Be it our own birthday, an anniversary, a child’s birthday (overheard The Voice mentioning his son was nearly a year old) we tend to reflect backwards and think about things we might have accomplished or failed, people we’ve met or lost and that sort of thing. The most noticeable thing to me is people. People who might have moved away or I haven’t seen (Preacher, Soot, Careless, now Cowbell) and on a better note a lot of people who we’ve now added to our group. Challenge to myself and others is not just look backwards, but forward to the next year and to ensure the lessons we’ve learned from our brothers get passed on to those we are lucky enough to still be around.
