Modern Day Warrior – Mean, Mean Stride

Modern Day Warrior – Mean, Mean Stride Taken from the final chapters of that little, thin, red book Before introducing myself and providing the disclaimer, I asked the 3 HIMs in attendance if anyone had read the book “Freed to Lead”  In return I got a bunch of head shakes and  so I talked to the guys about Tom Sawyer, RUSH and why I titled the workout Modern Day Warrior.   Next, I said the legal…

Where’s the running?

YHC had the Q for Black Flag.  I didn’t quite know what to plan for this Q. Weather was hit or miss on the rain and had a few options depending on who was to post. Red Ryder was already there when I pulled up, then Gucci and Fudd.  Softshell and Wild Thing rucked from their houses and Captain Jack rolled in just in time. Knowing in the back of my head, Wild Thing wanted…
