WARMUP: mosey with butt kickers and toy soldiers mixed in. 10 count IC SSH, windmills and 15 count IC hillbilly walkers followed by some down dog and wet honeymooners. More mosey to the bus loop curb where we did some 7’s that included curb dips, crab walks to other curb, derkins and bearcrawls back.
THE THANG: We met Dora first. Since we only had 3, one stayed while the other two ran. 50x v-ups, 100x big bois, 200x lbcs. The formhorn was out as we all ensured proper form was in check. We then got the pleasure to meet Dora’s big brother, Arod. 200x squats, 100x calf raises, 50x step ups(done together, 25 each leg)
MARY: Slow Roll got a chance to work on his cadence count and called lunges. Splinter chose Freddie mercurys and I stayed on my back for dying coackroaches.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: bbq and beverages on the horizon, read your newsletter
COT: we gave slow roll an earful about our F3 experiences and some info on SL and accountability. Prayer requests from all of us as Splinter took us out with prayer.

Orange is the new NC State Red

Leave a comment

WARMUP: mossy to playground for SSH, IW, HW, merkins
THE THANG: Each PAX completed 10 pull-ups then ran the path. For round 1, 15 merkins at each swing. Complete another 10 pull-ups and repeat path with 20 LBCs at each swing. Complete another 10 pull-ups and repeat path with 15 squats. Wrap it up with 10 pull-ups. Not sure Dark Helmet completed pull-ups or proper merkins since he was in the dark the entire time. Slapshot was leader as he’s trying to encourage PSU football team to whip up on that school to the south (No Pusher that doesn’t mean South Carolina) – Ohio State. Maximus wore the new NC State colors orange for his failed bet on them beating Clemson (but the ACC is a basketball conference not football conference 🤷‍♂️). Band camp never stops pushing PAX and Kermit is still in cloud 9 for Tennessee (the real orange) for beating the other school to the south (again, not South Carolina nor Georgia). Bobber even posted and complained that the monkey bars were wet (isn’t he a fisherman? Aren’t they always wet?)
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: skeet shooting sign ups!! Shower curtain collecting coats
COT: prayers for Shower Curtain continued healing, balance – even better harmony.
