Introduction
Pre Blast: Iron Lion 02.02.21 5:15AM
MABA is over. There is A LOT of weakness leaving my body (aka pain) today. Come out to Iron Lion tomorrow morning to continue to get stronger, faster and more intense. Bring your coupons. We will most likely be in one of the parking lots unless childlike inspiration takes over. Park in the high school parking lot if the regular one is still not plowed. HC in the thread. LFG!!
The Scene: In the teens, minimal wind. YHC overslept. Made it to the parking lot intersection at 5:13. The normal lot had been plowed and as I tried to park, many PAX were moving their cars. Come to find out that they didn’t want to walk through the snow. SMH. I parked close to my normal spot. I had one minute. Mr. Nice Guy was about to warm up the PAX as I yelled out, “I’m here, I have one minute!” Disclaimer given:

I am not a professional. You are here of your own free will. I have no knowledge of any injuries or fitness considerations. It is your responsibility to be safe and modify exercises as needed. Maintain 15 feet between you and the next guy at all times. In cadence (IC) is the rhythm in between each rep or the body movement between each rep.

We did one lap around the lot to get a feel of the conditions. A few slippery spots but not too bad. The original plan should work.

Full disclosure, I had not realized that it was Groundhog Day until NOR. This worked out thematically better than expected.
YHC made it 8 rounds before I had to call 6am. I asked the PAX to join me in a plank while we waited for everyone to make it in.
(wh)Y-Plank – 1 minute – low plank, bring your elbows together and feet apart

Last week was a big week for my son, which turned into a big week for all of us. On Wednesday, we had what turned out to be my son’s last IEP meeting for the foreseeable future. For those that do not know, my son, Charizard, has Autism. He was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome when he was 3 years old. Ever since he has been in school, he has had an Individualized Educational Plan. Now he has “graduated.” Because of all of his and my M’s hard work, this has happened. They are a true example of hard work and perseverance. So don’t give up. Never surrender. It may take years, but eventually you will conquer that which may be hindering you now. It will take time. It will take effort. It will take help. But you will also have to look for it and ask for it.
Dear Lord, thank you for your blessing today in all their forms. Help us to see the challenges in front of us as opportunities to seek your help and guidance. Bless each of these men and all with whom they come in contact. In your name, we pray. Amen.
Peace,
Cousin Eddie
