When the going gets tough …
All All MECA BackblastsDecember 20th, 2016
The tough get going.
Sometimes the hardest part is just getting started. Like when the alarms clock goes off at dark-thirty and you think to yourself, why am I doing this … and at least two really good excuses come to mind as to why you could stay in bed. But then you realize your brothers will be out in the gloom expecting you, this is good for you, and you need to get better, so you get up.
This morning YHC checked the weather and it showed 42-43 so YHC thought, shorts it is! By the time YHC got outside and realized it was raining and the wind was 10-15 mph, it was too late to go back and change. The 3 minutes waiting in the parking lot for anyone to show was spent wishing nobody would show and YHC would go back to bed.
Then @Clueless and @BurVegas pull up. #Accountability!!
The workout went something like this.
Mosey to a dry wind tunnel that @Clueless knew about.
Warm Up
- SSH, IST, Windmill, Mountain Climber, Mercin
The Thang
- Macarena Plank – 10 each side. Ask @SidVicious about this one, don’t know what it’s really called
- Jump the line – 1 minute
- Ladder – 2 – 10, increment by 2
- Dips, Mercins, Squats

- What is it about crab crawls that suck so much??? Seems so easy, until you actually do it, then YHC counts the seconds til it’s over.

Thanks for coming out guys! Those that missed it should come next time. It’s not bad after you get started.
“But then you realize your brothers will be out in the gloom expecting you, this is good for you, and you need to get better, so you get up.”
Amen, brother.
Right on @FlipPhone and @BurVegas! I wouldn’t have been out there doing that stuff by myself. Didn’t want anyone out there solo either…
