It was another great day for growth! Growth physically, growth spirtually (only 3 more days until Christmas!), and growth in our ability to endure. With the lovely weather we were having, 36 degrees and a steady rain, I decided to read the quote I brought before the workout instead of during COT.

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” –Winston Churchill

With that, we did a little warmup and then got right down to The Agoge500!

Warmup:
SSH x 20
Imperial Walkers x 20
Standard Merkins x 10
Squats x 10

The Agoge500:
I must give credit to Fungo for doing a very similar workout at Ball Bearings several months ago (variant of 10 Rounds With Tyson). Always love a Fungo lead workout!
10 Exercises, 10 reps of each at 5 spots, for a total of 50 reps of each exercise. Start 25 yards from bottom of hill, run to bottom of hill and do 10 reps. Climb hill and do 10 more reps. Run across parking lot to shovel flag and do 10 more reps. Run back to top of hill and do 10 reps. Run down hill and do 10 reps. Run back to start before beginning next exercise.

Strong work by the few this morning! Glad I didn’t have to endure alone, thanks brothers! Find a task that is beneficial, yet uncomfortable/difficult, complete it and you will grow.
