CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Smooth granite rock that I had. Probably took 1,000-2,000 years for this rock to get smooth rumbling and tumbling in the ocean. NOTHING is perfect, but we as granite rocks can get smoother/BETTER by rumbling and tumbling thorugh life getting better, embracing the suck, staying out of our comfort zone. Dont become stagnant!
MOLESKIN:
Be consistent and stay out of your comfort zone

West Hills meets the COW

One comment

THE SCENE: 14* and light wind
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Jog out around the greenway and back to start lot. Too cold to stand and stretch.
THA-THANG:
Multiple stations set up. Each weirdo has ruck on for each exercise. Move through each station and return to start to keep going. Each weirdo must take a lap up to the next lot and back down with the Casualty of War (the COW). PAX not on their COW lap continue moving through exercise stations. Stations as follows:

  • 60 pound sandbag – bag presses x10
  • 60 pound sandbag – rows x20
  • Battle ropes – x20 on four count
  • Squats x20
  • 50 pound sandbag – squat presses x20
  • Merkins x20
  • 60 pound sandbag – flutter kicks x20 on four count

Once all weirdos have taken a COW lap, PAX mosey up hill to narrow sidewalk.  Bear crawl up halfway, then Bernie Sanders the rest of the narrow sidewalk beside the Y entrance. Mosey back down to the pavilion.  Everyone performs 20 butt release squats on benches, then 20 step ups (10 each leg).  Exit pavilion and continue mosey around greenway in the opposite direction we usually go.  Once back to the original lot, repeat the same process as before.  PAX move through stations and repeat until all PAX have taken a COW lap.

Mosey around the greenway in the normal direction, with a jailbreak at the end just to empty the tanks.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Putting things off is the biggest waste of life: it snatches away each day as it comes, and denies us the present by promising the future. The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow and loses today… The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.”

Make today count, and leave no doubt.
