Introduction

Started off with a 1.5 mile EC run with a couple other dudes. It was nice to do a “regular” EC run again. Weather was perfect at about 25 degrees with no wind. It was the calm before the storm (17+ inches of snow expected over the next couple days).

The Thang

Partner B.O.M.B.S. We partnered up and while one PAX did the following exercises, the other ran to the end of the lot, did one burppe, then ran back to relieve his partner. Completed this cycle until the number of reps of each exercise were complete.

Burpee (50)

Overhead Press (100)

Merkin (150)

Big Boys (200)

Squats w/ coupon (250)

For Mary, we did 25 flutter kicks (IC), 25 scissor kicks (IC), 25 Freddie Mercury’s (IC), and 25 leg lifts (OMU) – all without our feet touching the ground.

Circle of Trust

At this time of year, many people like to make New Year resolutions. Popular NY resolutions often include losing weight, eating healthier, quitting smoking, stopping swearing, drinking less, spending more prudently, etc., etc., etc. Unfortunately only about 10% of people who make a NY resolution actually believe they kept it throughout the year. The point of my COT was not to discount anyone’s resolution but to encourage people to have some level of grounding, and some already developed habits in place around the resolution, or goal, you’re setting for yourself. If you want to stop drinking but you got drunk the night before, you might want dial back the goal to something more attainable and take steps toward the end goal. If you’re trying to shed those last 10 pounds and you already post regularly, a little more acceleration will help you reach this reasonable and attainable goal.

Bunker had to back out (hope you’re feeling better bro) but I still played a certain playlist in his honor. Yeah, I took some crap from the other PAX on that one:)
