Introduction
I was not able to participate in GrowRuck, so I jumped on the opportunity to Q on Monday. I showed up early to set-up, and saw that Shawshank had already arrived. Soft Hands let me borrow some cones (and we chatted a little about our weekend indiscretions), and I jogged over to the hill. The light-up cones were a nice touch.
Warm-O-Rama
I went through the introduction, disclaimer, mission statement, core principles, and credo, and then we got into the WoR:
Motivators from 6
Abe Vigodas x 8
Good Mornings x 8
Tai Flyers x 10, forward and backwards
Mosey to the hill while I explained the Thang.
The Thang
BOMBS (burpees, overhead clap, merkins, big boys, squats) on the hill. Cones were placed on the east side of the hill where each exercise was performed. When you get to the top, run down the north side of the hill, along the sidewalk and then back to the start. Start with one rep of each exercise, and increase by one for each circuit completed. Everyone completed at least 7 circuits. We then ran back to the flags for Mary.
All exercised performed in cadence:
American Hammers x 20
Side Heel Taps x 15
V-crunch x 15
Twist knee mountain climbers x 15
Swimmers x 15
Rocket Mans x 15
Circle of Trust
We did a family camping trip at the Indiana Dunes this weekend. We started doing these yearly trips when my daughter was 6 years old, and now she’s about to enter high school. I’m starting to think she just goes along now to amuse me, because she knows I love it, but deep down I think she’s still having a good time. We only tent camp, and it pretty much poured on us half the time, but it gave us a lot of good stories to tell. I’ve tried to make a commitment lately to stop and smell the roses more (which can be difficult at times with work commitments, etc.)…but when you get later in life, I doubt anyone says they wish they worked more.
We finished in prayer for those suffering.
