Sit as I weave a story of pain and dismay. What better way to work out than to embrace our child hood stories of kings man, giants, and childhood fancy. Well at least that’s what I thought. YHC set out on a quest to show that hard work is ingrained into our head from a young age. Now whether we chose to accept it or not is a different story.

The Thang

YHC decided since he is a runner now to do a pre run. Not good for everyone else. Blood flowing…check. Disclaimer, introduction, encouragement (ish), theme for today “Fairy Tales”. Admin stuff done lets roll.

Indian runs just always seem fun to me as a warm up. Then we hit the standard issue windmills, mountain climbers, imperial walkers, and well….that was it. Moseyed over to in front of ROTC Building. Things digressed from here.

Story one opens on a young Jack and Jill going up a hill to fetch a pale of water. Those poor kids did all the heavy lifting so in their honor so did we. Group broke into 2 teams. 1 for Jack and 1 for Jill. Each team was to have 1 member carry 2 cinder blocks up the road for about 75′ then return. (See what I did here….pales = cinder blocks) While they were out everyone else was Jack Webbing. 1 merkin to 4 overhead claps. This of coarse compounded until everyone had their turn on the hill. It was fun until we hit about 12 merkins to 48 overhead claps. Just kidding….it sucked the whole time.

Somehow we made it and moseyed to adjacent parking lot where we reenacted the 3 Bears story. Those bears were cruising around the forest doing their thing and ole’ Goldilocks just crept up and ate all their porridge. Ok so team 1 Bear crawl across the parking lot (about 50′) and back while team 2 busted squats until they returned. Well after one round that was to cold. Second round bears out while team 2 planked. Ok that was 2 hot. O, I know…..Burpees. That was just right. Something about burpees for 1 minute sucks. And believe me, I hate burpees so I know.

All right tale #3 opens on a young madden sleeping in the woods. Any guesses where I went with this? AB blaster here I come. So while we all slept on our backs we went through the following in cadence: 40 flutters, protractor, 20 LCB, 20 left side LBC, 20 right side LBC. Ok at this point YHC hurt. A good hurt though…like when a good BM makes its way out.

Mosey to pulls up bars. In honor of Jack we climbed that Bean stock with 3 rounds of 10 pull ups each. Yes Opie, you have to bend your arms to do a pull up. Also, CSPAN looks like Simone Biles on the bars.

Ok to close lets hit more cinder blocks. The part of Humpty Dumpty here was played by a pile of cinder blocks. Ok, in teams carry poor broken Humpty back to where he belonged. Luckily for us his wall was 300′ feet away. While we were gone team 2 partied with some Moroccan night clubs. Lots of them. When we returned we noticed Humpty was quiet in the right spot so team 2 went to get him and bring him back. What team players

Moleskin

So I really just kinda make this stuff up as I go. I like to keep things fun not only for new members but for old ones. We all need a little recharge now and then. Thanks for having me out Geronimo. Opie is having a girl so lets pray for him, lets pray for our families, and lets pray for our country. If you haven’t been to one of my Q’s you are missing all of what you just read. See you guys in the Gloom.
