The Thang
Thang 1: Prisoner Indian Run to Eagle St Parking Lot. Split into two groups – faster and slower. Faster group did 10 burpees and then tried to catch up.
Thang 2: Suicide Sprints in parking lot. Reach down and touch each parking space and sprint back to the beginning…did about 20 reps.
Thang 3: Mosey to parking garage. Did the (possibly?) all new Bernie Sanders Indian Run up the parking garage. Fun times and no one got hit by a car! Coming down the garage…line up for sprints on flat part of garage, high knees on downward part of garage.
Thang 4: Mosey back to Eagle St. parking lot. Lined up for an elimination race around the parking lot. Last person drops out each time we get back around and does SSH until race is over. S/O to Glenn for the win!
Thang 5: Indian Run back to the flag. Count off and pair up for relay race over the hill. Since we had an odd number, Glenn rotated and subbed in for teams that needed a breather.
Mary: Ring of Fire and American Hammers Last Man Standing
Circle of Trust
Last week in Q source, we talked about Accountability. For those at Dark Tower Q source, we briefly talked about nutrition as a part of accountability. Really started thinking more about that since then. I used to have the mindset that I could cancel out a bad meal with a workout, but as we get older that’s no longer possible. Now it takes 2 or 3 or maybe more workouts depending on how much guac and sour cream you put in your burrito bowl. We have to hold ourselves personally accountable for what we put in our bodies. Something I need to do better with and I think it’s a good reminder to think of nutrition from the accountability standpoint.
Naked Man Moleskin
Can’t give any one particular shout out because everyone brought their all and crushed it today! We talked before we started that we probably wouldn’t sweat much because it is so cool out. We were clearly wrong about that because every one of us was soaked at the end!
