CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Mentor once challenged me to “Work ON the organization. Not, IN the organization.” Its the time of year when we all get reflective and begin developing goals for the coming year.  Challenge everyone to take time to examine their lives from a 30,000 foot few and consider how they can impact those in their “organization” (family, friends, work teams, church, community) most positively with their new goals.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Nada… Should have mentioned 2nd F lunch on Friday downtown.

The pain train

THE SCENE: 34*, nice and clear
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
No warm up, no time. Quick gear inspection and get the show on the road
THA-THANG:
Equipment list, everyone with rucks with challenge weight, water bladders etc. Three 60 pound sandbags (Sandy, Sandra, and Irene) and one big girl 80 pound sandbag (Betty).

Move out away from start point, rotating sandbags every 0.20 miles. At the end of your rotation, you have to pay a 5 squat transfer fee before handing off the sandbag. Transition can not allow sandbag to touch the ground. Head to Tom Black Track on UT campus, hitting every scrappy hill we can.

Once at the track, ground sandbags for PT. Circuit consisted of the following:

  • Atlas lift with 60 bag
  • Lateral pull merkins with ruck
  • Bent over row with 80 bag
  • Leg levers with ruck overhead
  • Reverse lunges with 60 bag
  • Shoulder loads with 60 bag

Last man bear crawls to cone and back, taking over at Atlas lifts and bumping everyone to next exercise. Go through circuit twice.

Recover and link the sandbags together with carabiners for the pain train (aka the floppy log) back.  Carry can consist of shoulder, farmer carry, whatever. Rotate as needed like an event. Due to time left, after a few rotations the pain train is broken back into individual bags as the train moves slower. Last quarter ro third mile sandbags had to be carried off shoulders. Get back right at 6:15.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I named each corner of the lap we ran as family members. We went to each turn of the lap together, did the workout together. We fought to be present, stay together, enjoy, put in the work. I encourage everyone during the holiday’s to fight to be present, have a great attitude, change your perspective. This could be the last holiday with any of your family members so be present and make some good memories that can last a lifetime.
