The Fort: Security Crack Down – No Parking during Recess at the Playground

48 Pax gathered in the gloom on a cool morning to enjoy a CSPAN/Santini interval session.  Unfortunately we have been informed our parking at the Springs building which is vacant, never used, and apparently a bio, ecological, and/or moral hazard will be need to cease and desist.  It is suspicious however that Rosalita might have been the instigator.  Nonetheless, The Fort will prevail and begin parking in Red Dragon’s parking lot next Saturday before the split.

The Thang:

CSPAN in lead:  Reminded us of the importance of relationships, investing in them, and thinking of the one or two relationships that we need to attend to immediately.  A series of yoga/cult exercises were then done followed by a sprint to the Playground where we attempted to kill the grass around the perimeter of the playground.  5 pullups, 10 merkins, 20 Dips, sprint – repeat 5x; Mountain Climbers, Peter Parkers, Parker Peters while your partner sprints – 3 x;  Merkins while your partner runs.  I forget how many but it was a truckload – Repeat 5x.   There was something else but I blacked out.

Santini in Lead:

Mosey to Circle; 50 Imperial Walkers; 20 Squats; 20 twist things we have not named yet in the squat position; Run to line up at the Tree; Psycho Bunnys for 30 yards.  (big bunny hop, burpee and bomb jack); Run back; 30 yards of Squnges or Bar Crawls (just named but we like both); Squat, cross lunge, squat, cross lunge – repeat.  Bear Crawl back.  Head to COT.

Moleskin:

CSPAN challenged the Pax today with his personal story of his cousin who recently passed away.  Making sure we attend to all of those relationships in our life that we are fortunate to have God put in our path.  The PAX committed to making this a priority.  Thanks CSPAN for the reminder and the challenge.

The Fort: Gnat gonna do it….

32 posted this AM greeting the gnats in all their fury.  After careful calculation, 2 gulps of gnats equals a GU pack and/or half a hammer gel.  All enjoyed ample nutrition in the gloom.

The Thang:

Santini lead with SSH sequence with a headfake, Imperial walkers, Merk-Jacks (merkin with a jump up into a bomb-squat), Hemorrhoid Chairs (walking squats), Peter parkers, Parker Peters, and Mountain Climbers.  Mosey to line for Nana Farts (Decline Donkey kicks from 5 to 0, sprint Incline Burpees to 5, sprint back).  Commence Stairway to heaven (Line up, lunge 25 yards, bear crawl 25,  repeat.  Go to bottom of stairway to heaven and incline burpees from 1 to 6 running up the hill)

Handoff to Red Banjo.  Partner, split for drill bits running around  park in opposite directions.  Burpee stations of 5 each at Drlll Bit markers.  Meet halfway, do 10 merkins, run back in previous direction with Merkin stations.  Meet Partner.  Partner Pushups 10 each.  Sprint, Repeat.  Partner stations, Burpees, sprints, repeat.  Playground for alternating  pull ups and LBC’s series of 3 with partner.

Word of Truth:  Red Banjo shared the following on “Success”

Don’t let the world define your success. Don’t get caught up in all the distractions- titles, paychecks, and possessions. Remember that if we concentrate on adding value on a daily basis with our family, friends, and society success will ultimately follow.

Two quotes for today:
“Success is not a destination or an accumulation of things. It is the blessing of God”-David Kemp pastor of Fort Mill Church of God.

“Try not to become a man of success. Rather a man of value.”-Albert Einstein.
