Introduction

Cold? Yep. Windy? Heck yes. ECR? By most. Great time to scout the path, identify problem areas and see where best wind breaks were. PAX circled up in the parking lot — everyone keeping the wind to their back. Plan to do a quick WoR and get on the move.

  • Motivators from 6
  • Mikey Phelps

The Thang

Pearls On a String

  • Path = 1 loop around The Silo
  • Stops = 4 evenly spaced
    • Stop 1 = 10 merkins
    • Stop 2 = 10 merkins + 10 mtn climbers IC
    • Stop 3 = 10 merkins + 10 mtn climbers IC + 10 big boys
    • Stop 4 = 10 merkins + 10 mtn climbers IC + 10 big boys + 11 burpees

7s

  • Between stops 2 & 3 we divert to townhomes via old path
  • Line up north end of first townhouse unit and 6 Mucho Legg-os
  • Run to south end and 1 SSH IC
  • Pick up 6
  • Resume Pearls

PAX Under Weight

  • A PAX static holds weight (2 – 35# dumbbells) overhead at east island in parking lot
  • All other PAX run from east island to west island and back
  • Once all PAX are back, switch PAX under weight and all run again
  • Repeat until all PAX have held weight
  • Had to do few minutes of some work in the parking lot to embrace the suck

 

Circle of Trust

Recently I listened to James Clear (author of Atomic Habits) on the Huberman Podcast and amongst the many CoT nuggets in there, I recently felt drawn to explore the concept of whether dissatisfaction is required for drive. While a “gap” can motivate, growth doesn’t require self-criticism. Clear analogized this statement to an acorn and a mighty oak. An acorn, is not berated for not yet being a mighty oak; therefore we grow because that’s what we were made to do — in fact that is what we were encoded to do & become. Then over time, the efforts themself become the rewards, not just outcomes like improved pace, lost weight, etc. Each early alarm and each rep and each mile is a vote for the kind of man you’re becoming.

Naked Man Moleskin

Weather that grabs your attention and makes you want to not stand around was a key ingredient in the success of the bootcamp today. Glad to be among the PAX that Committed Hard to cast their vote for the men they are encoded to be. Thanks to all for coming out; way to push yourself today Stitch, your dedication is inspiration to us all Peterbilt and kudos to Sparkler for picking up the 6 like a boss.
