Introduction

It’s been a hard week or two and getting out of bed is hard. But that’s part of what we’re doing here. Hard things. So today I Q’d so I could get my sad-sack-self out of the bed and work hard with other HIMs.

Warm-O-Rama

After an inspiringly crappy intro YHC started in on the warmup:
Weed Pickers
Little Baby Arm Circles (front and back)
Abe V’s

The Thang

Weirdly modified Dora type thing. Pair up and do Roundx10 per set and swap exercises instead of running.
Round 1
100 – Twinkle Toes (Al Gore with calf raises)
100 – BBSU

Round 2
200 – Merkins
200 – American Hammers

Round 3
300 – LBCs
300 – Squats

Since certain people were really fast they did a short 400m run and some SSH while others finished. All the PAX joined for a mosey around the school and then finished the time with burpees, naturally.

Circle of Trust

YHC shared a bit of his heart and a bit of complaining to boot. Some weeks have been hard lately and it’s good for YHC to be forced out of self-imposed isolation and withdrawal by being responsible for the Q. It was good to have Spooner back. Even in his current state he still ran circles around everyone.

Naked Man Moleskin

YHC felt a lot like Eeyore today. Pragmatic but a bit sad or overwhelmed by life. But today was the day to lock shields with my brothers and get out in the gloom so YHC can be better. With a ailing knee, YHC has missed a lot of the runs that would be a part of a normal week. We are all better together.
