11 men did what we do in the mornings and that’s wake up and improve ourselves.  Others slept the hell in because it was kinda cold.

First off, rock exercises, 10 each of curls, overhead presses, skull crushers and bent over rows.  Then mosey down to each row of parking for some 50-50 action.  Pax would do half of the reps of an exercise, run the length of the lot and back for the other half, then down to the next row, for 4 in total.

Row 1: 10 burpees split in half

Row 2: 20 squats split in half

Row 3: 30 dry docks split in half

Row 4: 40 mtn climbers split in half

Afterwards, pax had the choice to run right back to the rock garden or to run the long way around the point of Lake Concord and Country Club and back to the rock garden, around an extra quarter mile. After that, repeato until time called at 0606 to mosey to

COT

TP discussed a charity opportunity he’s a part of, 100 men who care.

Moleskin:

Ended up being a solid beatdown after YHC was requested to offer a low run option by multiple parties, none of whom showed up for the beatdown.  No mind, as it did end up helping out Homie who is dealing with an ankle injury, and offered a solid option for those who wanted fewer reps.  The Q ended up doing 3 complete rotations and got a touch over 2 miles, while Java got more and others got less.

Keep improving, that’s the key.  Don’t ask for perfection, I went yo my son’s school yesterday for an assembly, and asked how he is doing, and was given the answer that he’s progressing and doing better every day.  That’s all you can ask for.  None of us are Eliud Kipchoge, Usain Bolt, or that idiot who planked for like 20 hours, so there’s always room for improvement and something to strive for.  Keep the carrot in front of you and never feel like you’ve eaten it.  If you reach a goal, set a new one, otherwise you’ll lose your accountability.  Thanks for the daily push to be better to strive to reach my potential.
