CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Kinda reused a Bomb Shelter BOM here:

Don’t be scared to live your life. Growth and true happiness occurs outside of your comfort zone. We have to push ourselves in every aspect of our lives to step out and do something different. Don’t shy away from something just because it is scary or unknown. Just do it. It’s better to try and fail than to never know what could have been.

THE SCENE: 60 and nice

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

  • Imperial squat walker x 12
  • Tempo merkins x 12
  • Jump squats x 12

THA-THANG:

Sprints across grinder with 10-1 burpees

Tag

Half start on one side as “it”.

Other half start on other side of grinder must broad jump. “It” must bear crawl. When you get tagged 10 burpees. No tag backs. Those being chased can only move 10 broad jumps at a time. 10 merkins to earn 10 more broad jumps.

We changed this to 2 burpees and probably only played about 5 min. Too much standing around. Next time maybe the broad jumpers need to be doing air squats while waiting to get tagged. Also, merkins were a death sentence so maybe just 5 of those next time.

Bear crawl suicides with burpees each direction change

Sprint across grinder 5 times with 20 squats each pass

Plank walk across parking lot and back

Sprint across grinder 5 times with 20 merkins each pass

Putting in the work first makes the reward that much sweeter. In all things in life, delaying those feel good brain chemicals conditions your body to accept it must work to earn that reward.

Moses was carrying the Old Hag when a sprinkler head started to activate right beside him.  His 5′ vertical leap with Old Hag and ruck was extremely impressive but not nearly as impressive as his little girly squeal of terror!!!!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A lot of times we tell ourselves that we don’t want to do something. Sometimes we just have to do it and not think about it. I did not want to get up this morning and work out, because my legs were so sore from the last few days. I force myself to take the Q so I would get up. I’m much happier because I did.

More importantly than that, there are several times in life when we feel like we should do something but we stop ourselves from doing it. When someone needs help we think to ourselves, I’m not qualified to do that, or I don’t know them that well to help them, that’s not my skill set etc. When people need help they don’t need people saying to them…call me if you need anything, or I’m here if you need me. Step in. Tell them, I’m coming by to help you on Tuesday….is that a good day? Or I’m bringing you a meal, what day is best. Or, let’s go have coffe and talk, how is Mon morning? No one wants to ask for help.

MOLESKIN:
Hard work was achieved by the PAX this morning. Not much chatter but we got it done
