Great showing at Footloose for a long overdue VQ from YHC.  Little warm out and someone turned on the humidifier.  21 gathered including a FNG prior to YHC issuing the disclaimer and starting a mosey around the block to the St. Johns parking lot for a warm up.  The warm up consisted of:

• Windmill x 10
• SSH x 15
• Imperial Walker x 10
• Peter Parker x 10
• MNC x 10
• Parker Peter x 10
• Squat x 10

After finishing the warm up, we moseyed back to the First Baptist Parking lot.

The Thang:

After arriving at the parking lot, the PAX partnered up, size or ability didn’t matter, and commenced to embark on the first set of exercises.  PAX 1 would execute a set of exercises while PAX 2 would run across the street and up / down the church stairs.  Rinse and Repeat 4 times, trading off on the exercises and the running.  Exercises consisted of the following:

• Box Cutters
• Plank Jacks
• Apollo Ohno’s
• LBC’s.

The PAX then ran to the back of the parking lot where all were introduced / reacquainted to the Dirty McDeuce.  The PAX engaged in 3 sets of 12 reps followed by a lap around half of the parking lot.  Exercises were a fun variety of legs, chest and core.

• Set 1 – Squats, CDD and LBC – take a lap
• Set 2 – Lunges, Merkins, Flutters – take another lap
• Set 3 – Shoulder Taps, Sumo Squats, Rosalitas – you get the picture, take a lap
• Set 4 – Monkey Humpers, Hello Dollys, WAM – Final Lap

As if that wasn’t enough, the PAX moved over the nearby wall for 2 sets of dips, incline merkins and calf raises.  We then moseyed back to COT for a short round of Mary and then called it a morning.

The PAX welcomed a FNG, Casey Jones to the gloom however not all was cheerful as the group delved into prayers and praises.  This morning, we all discussed our F3 brother #Cheech  from Lexington.  Our hearts were heavy knowing that one of the PAX was seriously injured.  We asked for healing mercies for Cheech and comfort for the family and for the person driving the car that hit him.  We asked for blessings for family, co-workers, both current and former, for those hurting and those traveling.

Lastly, I am thankful that Pusher stayed with it for 3 years to get me out here.  it truly is a blessing.  Just sorry it took so long to Q.

Very Respectfully, M*A*S*H
