On May 6, 1527 Spanish and German imperial troops sacked Rome, ending the Renaissance. Since TikTok tells us the average man thinks about the Roman Empire at least daily, what better way to commemorate such a significant, yet tragic occasion.
We began with the march towards Rome, a running loop around the block. The obligatory South Cary stretches were incorporated as you can’t sack a city with cramped calves. On the way home, we stopped for some rock work to build our strength.
Upon our return, a four corners with 15 Flame Throwing Burpees against the mighty city walls, climbing Mt. Olympus 27 Mountain Climbers (just go with it), down the hole 15 CDDs, and crush their spirits 27 jump squats.
Charge Palatine hill 4x in a brave attempt to take the city, and then some themed Mary — Discipline Bear Holds, Roman Shield Lock Plank Shoulder Taps, Rubble Twists, last stand hollow hold. We finished with what else but Warrior yoga cool downs.
Sic transit gloria mundi. Don’t take for granted the gifts showered down on us from our Creator, the beauty of everything given to us on this Earth, and the time we have with loved ones. Even the mighty and glorious Roman Empire fell. So someday shall we all.
