“With self-discipline, all things are possible.” – Theodore Roosevelt
We do a lot of boot camp workouts where the Q motivates and leads the PAX; but on Tuesday mornings, the 610 Stomp offers a great alternative that challenges the PAX’s own self-discipline and drive to accomplish a goal. As YHC experiences at around the 4th & 5th set of burpees: “Should I keep doing my 10 burpees, or can I do 8-9 this set?” I can tell you that this morning, seven men set out in the gloom to capture their goal and get better today.

The Thang:
This is a workout that Q’s itself…4.5 mile loop around city park & stop every 6 minutes to do burpees and/or walk for 1 minute. Rinse and repeat until completing the course. Each man modifies the workout at his own pace.
This morning, we all started together, but at the Marconi underpass, we split into numerous groups to run various routes back to the flag. Let me know in the comments if anyone saw the speeding 4-runner out of the shop from last week. Hotty Toddy & YHC met up with Jingle Vader by the Christian Brother’s field, and SFX flew past us on the home stretch around the track. As the four of us waited for the #six, YHC provided some time with Mary at the finish line. The final exercise with Mary was high plank just as the #six rounded the corner towards the flag, and an applause could be heard by SFX, who was doing clap merkins.
Once the PAX was accounted for, we sealed the deal with 10 more burpees, and circled around the flag for Name-O-Rama, Shout-Outs, & Prayer (Courtesy of Bubba).
