Introduction
š¦ Pre-Blast IRON LION š¦ Monday, January 4th 2021, 5:15-6:00am
So far 2021 seems pretty similar to 2020, which means everyone has time to come join meĀ tomorrow morningĀ for 45 minutes for some kid like fun.
No coupons necessary for this play date, but a sled is required. Ā Ask your 2.0 if you can borrow theirs for the morning and HC in the thread below! @channel
š„š„ UPDATE š„š„
Just went to check out the AO and have to renege on my promise for sledding…sorry for the bait and switch, but it wouldnāt be safe. Ā Please bring your coupons!
**Rolled in around 4:50am to a nice 22 degree day with fog…Fog? in the winter, didn’t know it existed.Ā Am I breathing ice? How can it still be liquid?…I digress.Ā Set up some cones on the football field since my original plan of sledding was deemed unsafe.
Very busy morning with 3 PAX showing up sans HC, 1 FNG (also no HC), and 1 fartsack.
Circled up with a total of 18, full disclaimer given.
Warm-O-Rama
Side straddle hops in cadence to 30

The Thang
Mosey to football field, threw on the Pearl Jam 10 album and just let it go…
6 cones set up as stations, each station with a different exercise:
Station 1: 10 merkins
Station 2: 10 Goblet squats
Station 3: 10 Burpees
Station 4:Ā 10 Overhead press
Station 5: 10 coupon swings
Station 6: 10 Curls
After working through each station, run around the football field and start at station 1 again.Ā The goal was to get through it 10 times.Ā I think someone made it 8 times, but most finished 6 or 7.
Finished at 5:55, mosey back to flags, plank for the six.Ā One round of ABC’s and it hit 6am.
Circle of Trust
Last year sucked.Ā A lot of people like to look at 2020 and can’t wait to leave it in the past.Ā There was a lot of pain, death, lost jobs, closed businesses, and crushed dreams.Ā And, on top of that, everyone has to deal with their normal day to day lives, which is not easy.
I don’t think we should look at last year that way. We should look at it like we are close to conquering another challenge that presented itself to us.Ā This wasn’t the first challenge that we’ve encountered; 9/11, the housing crisis, the great recession, are all in the past and we are stronger for going through them.Ā There isn’t another option; take the challenge head on and move forward.
We will face more challenges in the future, that’s a fact.Ā We need to accept that and prepare for them, and I know this group of guys will do exactly that.
10 seconds of silent prayer.
Naked Man Moleskin
I wasn’t happy with my workout today, it was a little clunky and disorganized and I will make my next one better.Ā Thanks to all who joined.
