The Thang
5-5-5-5 Routine with a backdrop of boisterous and end endearingly obnoxious Latin music
5 exercises
5 reps each
5 second hold on last rep
5 times through rinse and repeat
1) squats
2)lunges (5 R and 5 L)
3) merkins
4) side plank leg ups. 5 R and 5 L (side plank position raise upper arm and leg to full extension)
5)crab cakes (Boucher this was for you and you didn’t show)
Successfully made it through this routine, although with a few hiccups.
Firstly, the side planks sputtered out around 3 reps as clearly none of us could maintain the position any longer—-future work needed in this area 🙂
Secondly Ricky Martin shouting uno dos tres while trying to count out loud turns out to be confusing and problematic at 5:30 am
Next we headed to the hill sloping towards downtown and the pedestrian bridge for a Mini Spartan with a 5 twist
Uphill sprint from the base of the hill stop sign up to the first stop sign, drop and give me 5 merkins, walk back down the hill
Rinse and repeat 10 times
Short mosey to playground for some pull ups or alternative pulling exercises, 5 sets of 5
Short mosey back to flag for brief circle of Mary and an opportunity to finish up those side planks
Circle of Trust
I opened the morning with the new drip campaign F3 statements and a quote to inspire, and began the COT with the same quote. Here it is
Blood, Sweat, Toil, and Tears (or beers), will breed a deep regard called brotherhood. If you give yourself to this endeavor, you will find it and it will find you. I hope you reach a point today where you want to quit. So, today, in the battle of “you against you” you will find that there is much more within you that you’ve withheld—or rationalized away as weakness.

I LOVE this AO. So glad Katmandid and Double Dutch are taking the initiative to grow this place for other sad clowns to become HIM’s
