Sterilization

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey to the backside of HT to enjoy the smells and do some warmup exercises – SSH, windmill, imperial walkers, hillbilly walkers, cherry pickers, Moroccan nightclub, merkins.
THE THANG: Mosey back to front parking lot. 7 of diamonds but with 3 corners instead of 4 so 7 of triangles? First lap was 7 merkins at each corner, 14 squats at each corner, 21 flutters at each corner, and then 28 LBCs at each corner. Mosey to side of HT for wall squats with bear crawls and crawl bears while we all mentioned a goal, word, or area we were working on this year. Mosey to auto shop and then dora – 50 step ups (each leg), 100 inclined merkins, 125 dips and then mosey back to flag.
MARY: American hammers, hello dolly, and some frog workout which felt like gas pumpers.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Pints and padres tonight, wine dinner, and mens shelter later this week, upcoming convergence and jaeger in march.
COT: A few prayer requests. Ended in prayer.

Blimps at the GC

Leave a comment

Short disclaimer then jog around back of center for warm-ups. Normal stuff: SSHs, imperial Walker’s, low slow squats, merkins, Peter Parkers, Parker Peter’s, and MNCs. Mosey to back hill for accumulating BLIMPS. 5 Burpees, 10 Lunges, 15 Imperial Walker’s, 20 Merkins, 25 Plank Jack’s, and 30 Squats. Start at bottom with 5 burpees, run to firestation for 10 donkey kicks, run back to start. 5 burpees, 10 lunges, run to station for 10 donkey kicks, run back to start. Repeat adding letter each round. Pollo had to duck out due to asthma flair up but it took us a while to find him. So good lesson to always pay attention to all PAX. After we got that squared away back to blimps. I think we figured out how to count the imperial Walker’s by the 5th round. Finished up back at fountain so we bear crawled one loop around it. Jog back toward cars stopping at other traffic circle. Partner up for 20 partner merkins with hand slap in-between then 20 partner big boys with hand slap at top. Jog back to cars for a few rounds of Mary, except somehow Autobobn thinks Merkins qualify as Mary. But all good, recover and COT. Lots of sickness going around and PAX coming back from being out. So prayers for health right now. Thx for the opportunity 1/2 shell!

Stick a Fork in 2024

Leave a comment

No FNGs so the disclaimer was light. It was concluded that we could sue <@U01CGBKBQ64> if things went sideways, but we decided against it since he was our gratuitous host this morning.

Quick warmup and we were off. Is was discussed that the toilet water in Australia flushes backwards, so we decided treat The Australian Mountain Climber the same.

Moseyed across 160 for 4 corners of pain. We did 24 reps of the 4 exercises to pay homage to 2024. Then we obviously did 6 laps because 2 + 4 =6. It’s science.

Back to COT for announcements/prayers.

Soggy Day at the Golden Corral

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
After a quick disclaimer, we moseyed around the shovel flag, picked up Olaf who was running a bit late, and made our way to the First National Bank to get shelter under their drive-through.
THE THANG:
COP (all in double count cadence): SSH x 25, windmill x 10, imperial walker x 20, merkin x 10/hold/mountain climber x 20/hold/RAH-LAH (legs if you got it)/6″/hold/6″/hold, hello dolly x 20, jumping lunge x 15.

Line up on one side of the drive-thru for Jacob’s ladder. Bearcrawl to the end of the drive-thru, do 1-5 burpees, and then bear crawl or crawl bear back to the start (5 trips up/back total)
Line up for an Indian Run around the Harris Teeter shopping center, and return to the bank drive-through for the Airborne Killer Hip Routine.

Mosey to the sidewall of Harris Teeter for extended wall sits. We did a 60s, 75s, and 90s sit (crowd pleaser). Mosey back to the bank drive through for 6 min of Mary:

Freddie Mercury x 20, Box Cutter x 15, Big Boy sit up x 20, LBC x 20, Superman Hold x 3 Mosey back to the shovel flag for some light stretching and COT.

MARY: See above
ANNOUNCEMENTS: CRI run this Saturday, Dec 14. The F3 Christmas party is Saturday, Dec 21, and spots are still available.

COT: Praise for Olaf’s daughter celebrating her 8th birthday today. She was not expected to live long following her birth and is truly a miracle child! Praise for Half Shell’s son who received the Let Me Run Boy award for exemplifying the principals of LMR on his team. Well done, young man!

The rain held off for most of the workout, but we stayed undercover at the bank for most of it. I found I had a lot of extra time today so threw in the wall sits on the flay. When I checked my weinke after the workout, I realized I forgot to do a 2nd Jacob’s ladder (crabwalk/dips) that was planned after the Indian Run. Oh well, we got it done this morning and the Pax put out a great effort as usual. Well done, men!

NMM
Today was about spending time in proximity to our brothers. We were in no rush to get where we were going, but we made it anyway.

This time of year seems to be rush, rush, rush. Work deadlines are looming. Just a few more shopping days left. Gotta get to both sets of in-laws. How many pounds did you say you would lose by yearend? Have to get it all done.

But Christmas is the season of anticipation – a time to savor the moments, not rush through them. Take time off of work. Play games with your kids. Watch the family Christmas movies. Listen to your relatives tell the same story you’ve heard 100 times. Drink the hot chocolate, eat the extra slice of pie, and post with your buddies. Let’s slow down, breathe in the joy, and let the season fill your heart.

-IJ
