THE PAX: Hasbro, C4, Homeboy, Legionnaire and Hombre

Total # of PAX: 5

Number of FNGs: 0

QIC: Hombre

INTRO:

0430 wake up prep time for the morning joe – always exciting to get out for a trail run in the dark.  I was a bit concerned that it was going to be a solo posting with my pup.  Pleasantly surprised when I saw Hasbro and C4 waiting for me!

WARM-O-RAMA:

Mosey to the Home Site for a circle up warmorama, a natural place for circling up or for an “official” nap location….   October 15 started with SSH, Windmills, Imperial Walkers topped of with some Sun gods and Michael Phelps.  Then we disappeared into the bushes being led by a speeding homeboy.

THE THANG:

– Ran to the SADDLE BARs for a quick 3 rounds of 5 pull ups, 5 toes to bar and 5 merkin/groiners.

– Once completed we ran cross country down to the yellow trail, hopped across a stream and up the red to the BERMUDA TRIANGLE for an AMRAP around the triangle mixing in at each subsequent point 10 Merkins / 10 Star Jumps / 10 Kodiak count Lunges for a total of 10 minutes round and round the triangle.

– Run to the FORREST BARs for 3 rounds of 5 mountain climber pull ups / 5 knees to elbows / 5 merkins /  5 squats.  After the 3 rounds grab a tree for some hand stand pressing fun.

– To finish it off, we ran to the parking lot for a gravel 50 yard sprint-o-rama for a total of 5 reps.  This is where it happened – we all clearly saw thru the darkness the various shades of red on C4’s face.

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Prayers mentioned for parents who are growing old, for Cricket especially.  Also for friends who were ill and remembered Darth Visor….

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Yours truly was privileged to travel to THE BEAN last week and enjoy a 3 man beatdown in downtown Chicago.   It is surely a good thing to be able to meet up with other men of like minded habits to post early in the morning.

East West Home is Best.  We each, as the men of Cherokee County must press on and not only work on the content of the beatdown, but must work to engage the hearts and minds of the men we are around – during the workouts – during our work days – and especially on the home front.   How many days are we promised here on earth before we pass on?
