Introduction
Whenever I hit a post milestone, I try to Q that workout as a way to give back to F3 and follow the core principle of leading in a peer rotating fashion. Today was my 600-ish post (once the PM workouts are linked to the stats), along with my 60th Q (a wise man once told me to try to have a 10% Q to post ratio). I joined Foreclosure on a little EC run and scouting mission prior to the beatdown.
Warm-O-Rama
Jog in place while I went over the introduction and disclaimer.
Goofballs OYO while I went over the F3 mission, core principles, and credo.
6 warm-up exercises ICx10: Abe Vigodas, WMH with arm reach, TIE fighters, Figure 4s, Imperial squat walkers, and tempo merkins.
Run to the playground.
The Thang
Thang 1: Six 5x5s at the playground with hanging knee pulls and planksters.
Thang 2: In lieu of the impossible mile, we did the possible 600. 6 movements, 100m each of the following: broad-jump burpee, lunge walk, bear crawl, high knees, side shuffle right, side shuffle left.
Thang 3: Meant to do a Dora 1,2,3, but ran out of time, so we did 3 sets of 1,2,3s (1 blockee, 2 thrusters, 3 burpees).
Mary: Bunch of crunch type exercises (hamstring pull, knee pulls, pigeon pulls, rope pulls, farthing bicycle, toe taps, and boxers).
Circle of Trust
My wife had nose surgery last Friday to correct a deviated septum. She was still recovering on Monday, so I took off work to make sure she was OK, and we watched a bunch of movies. One in particular made me think a lot about what we talk about in QSource – Parenthood with Steve Martin. There’s a lot of points in that movie about raising kids, juggling work, and trying to find time for everything. There’s a good analogy in the moving about life either being a roller coaster or a merry go round. We like the roller coasters for the risks and the ups and downs. It’s exciting. The lows and highs is what makes life living! The merry go round is safe, but really you just go round in circles and nothing exciting happens. Also, one of my favorite characters from that movie is a part played by a young Keanu Reeves. He has a very memorable quote about fathers: “you need a license to buy a dog, or drive a car. Hell, you need a license to catch a fish! But they’ll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father.” I leave you with this…don’t be an asshole.
Naked Man Moleskin
Thanks Depends for having our 6 today! Apparently I had the Q juice flowing early today and the group had to tell me to keep my voice down at the park when I was giving instructions.
