Introduction

Rain rain go away  . . . you are a pain in the ass.

No coupon workout!

But . . . I made a few trips to Menards last night and filled up a lot of 60-80 pound sandbags. 🙂 While we dont have coupons, it sure wont be easy.

I parked under city hall, but did a crap job of estimating time, so I had to sprint to the flag at DT to get started. Awesome.

Warm-O-Rama

Usual. Plus some calf stretches because a lot of stairs are in our future.

The Thang

Everyone grab a 60-80 pound sandbag from my car. Leave your waterproof jackets and shells because its going to get hot quickly.

Mosey to the parking garage

Runk/run the “flats” at the parking garage. At each turn around do descending sets of merkins, starting with 10. Then walk the inclines.

Once we get to the top, take the stairs down. Then we went UP the stairs, doing ascending sets of Squats at each landing, starting with one. (the climb out of the underworld with Cerebus slung over our backs)

At the top. Kneel on your sandbag and do an Andy Dufrene to celebrate the end of the Labors!

Walk down the ramps at a fast pace to exit the garage.

Mosey back to my car and put the sandbags back. Then fast mosey around the lagoon and back to the flags.

2 minutes of leg stretches then its 6:00

Circle of Trust

CoT is about goals.

If you dont have goals, you stay static and in place. Just like with muscles, if you dont keep pushing the boundaries to grow, you will stay where are you are now. Thats why we used heavy sandbags (surprise!) and got uncomfortable.

Whats your next goal? is it to get stronger? bigger muscles? faster? do you have a Ragnar or a OCR course to train for? Then get started TODAY. Frontline OCR will be here we know it, and I hope to see everyone here the day of the race.

Random Musings . . .

  • While we exercise outside rain or shine . . . I’m of the opinion that if doing it in a cold rain can be avoided while still doing a hard workout, then do it. Use a pavilion, a parking garage, etc.
  • Twinning- You are the call out MASTER. Well done sir!!!
  • Dingo- I brought you a special sandbag. Respect respect! 😉
  • Mellencamp- The HIM that attended the majority of the labors of Hercules! I hope you had fun doing them, and deeply appreciate your support.
  • Cable Guy- Nothing like more discussions about hernias. yuck. I am glad you are getting that fixed.
  • Overthrow- Sucks you need to get those elbows operated on, and I cant believe its been a year since you started as Site Q! fantastic job sir!!
  • Shandy- How the hell do you fix that vest? Duct tape? Good call not doing Vestuary today . . . as the heavy sandbags plus that would REALLY have sucked. Great posting with you again!
  • Sun Devil- Damn I’m glad you are back! Cant wait for the sun to come out so we can do some football Qs again! I know its a heck of a commute for you, and deeply appreciate you making the extra effort.
  • Cupcake- I hope the sandbags were a pleasant surprise. 😉 Its always great when an OG PAX like you comes out to post.
