YHC figured it was time to step up and Q again vs. just show up, so Circuit Breaker here I come!  Thankfully 4 others decided to come out as well so 5:29:50 on the watch, disclaimer given, time to roll.

Warmup lap around the block and back to the start for the circuit.

• 4 rounds of 3 exercises
• Do each exercise in the round at 4 stations for reps of 5,10,15,20
• Finish each round with a lap around the block
• Pick up the 6 and start the next round

Round 1

• Hand release merkins
• LBC

Round 2

• IST
• CDD

No warmup lap to finish Round 4, just proceed to the finale

Circle up, count off, name-arama, pray it out, done!

Kojak is great at ‘encouraging’ a guy to step up and lead.  And he’s right- it was time to do my part.  Plus I knew if I signed up to lead then he’d show up so I wouldn’t be alone.  And Gamma’s wisdom of ‘come up with something horrible and let people go’ is an easy recipe to follow.  I mean if Solocup can call out ‘100 burpees, run, repeat’ then my circuit idea would be/could be a breeze!  I appreciate the fact that Bear Claw and JD showed up for the fun today.  Believe it was JD who commented that the loop looked a lot shorter on the map than in reality.  I would agree.  These 2 guys and their effort is truly inspiring.  And I don’t say that with any negativity but let’s be honest- how many guys their age are putting in their?  It would be far too easy to sit back and relax but they don’t and for me it truly is inspirational.  When the youngest guy in the group today is 49, I believe that says a lot about age being just a number.  Commitment, desire, mental attitude all make a difference.

Praises for all the good things we’ve been blessed with, and having the bodies and abilities to show up to exercise are just two.  Prayers for any unspoken challenges we face as men because God knows we aren’t perfect and we face adversity and deal with stress and work really hard to hide it all.

There’s nothing like a good coffee session after the workout.  I look forward to time around the table chatting and listening to who knows what.  Even though there are guys on different workout plans, nice to still get together.  I joke about it but I’m serious- 630 is the real incentive for me to show up.

Today is a good day, it’s going to be a good day, we’ve got this.  Peace out homeys!
