I’ve been coming to the Ranch for a while now but this was my first opportunity to Q it so I wanted to make the most of it. 14 PAX were ready to begin so we moseyed off to find some light. We circled up in front of the middle school and were starting COP when we see a car driving around the loop towards us. The car proceeds to drive through the middle of us, cracks a window, and says something I didn’t hear and then drives off to park. It turns out to be Straight-Up who’s new to the region and a little late. Way to make an entrance! Chickenhawk ran back to get him and bring him back just as we were finishing COP.

Move over to the benches in front of the middle school for leg pyramid:
10 Burpees -> 20 Lunges using bench -> 30 Mtn Climbers -> 40 Squats -> 50 SSHs -> 40 Squats -> 30 Mtn Climbers -> 20 Lunges using bench -> 10 Burpees

Mosey to rear of middle school for some circles:
10 Merkins, rotate 90 degrees (r90d), 10 Diamond Merkins, r90d, 10 Wide-arm Merkins, r90d, 10 Carolina Dry Docks
Run a lap
20 Plank Jacks, r90d, 10 Peter Parkers, r90d, 10 Ski-hops, r90d, 10 Parker Peters

Mosey to far middle school entrance and repeat the leg pyramid sans bench.
Mosey to parking lot behind elementary school, repeat the first Merkin circle, run a lap, then everyone circle up around parking island. Plank walk half way around curb, then flip over and crab walk with hands on curb for the other half. I need to work on my directions, that wasn’t executed as smoothly as I had it in my mind. Enough time left to repeat second arm circle and then mosey back to COT. I had a third leg pyramid on the weinke but I’ll save it for Friday.

Prayers:
> Bonsai and Wapner have family members who are battling Cancer. Thankfully it sounds like both were detected early.
> Ginsu – Patience for his family as they go through the adoption process.
> Our kids, particularly those that are in the early teen years. Lots of social and peer pressures they’re going through. I think we all remember how tough this phase of life is.

Thanks again to all the PAX coming out and MI for the opportunity to Q.
