Tag me in coach and a bday boy bonus

Leave a comment

WARMUP: As Pax gathered, the mumblechatter intensified. It was going to be one of those mornings which is always fun and encouraging. YHC rec’d the bat signal call from Esso to sub-Q due to prior commitments and who can say no to that guy. Plus the opportunity to Q these group of merry men, can’t turn that down!

Ran over to the church, avoided any cars, did some high stepping and butt kickers on the way, and circled up in the parking lot. Did some SSH, cherry pickers, squats, merkins, back stretches.
THE THANG: Ran over to the benches and did a rinse and repeat (just 2x) of: step ups (20), incline merkins (20), dips (20).

Ran around the turnabout at the church to kick off pearls on a string. Exercises consisted of: 10 bomb jacks, 20 diamond merkins, 30 hammers, 40 squats (note to self, this was a lot), 52 flutters (for Anchorman bday boy), 60 calf raises. So at each stop, we added on the exercises and then went down for a few after we got to 60. The stops included: church, entrance to grocery, water fountain at apartment complex, fake stop at neighborhood on the back left from fountain so ran back to fountain, fire station house, parking lot of daycare, road behind gas station, back to COT.
MARY: quick Mary led by Slow Jams
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Patience for parents, kids, teachers
COT: Yes, completed this and even got a quick show from Senator!

Whipped out a swampy sweaty wienke with a shable

Leave a comment

WARMUP: It was warm and schweaty.

Run around the perimeter of the parking lot with butt kickers, high knees, side shuffles and then circled up. SSH, windmill, cherry picker, low slow squats, merkins, honey nooner, down dog. Back to COT to grab the 40 bag.

THE THANG: Took the bag and pax over to bubbles and bows because they need a trim. This wienke was originally used at the Swamp in June 2019…oldie but goodie.

In a circle we numbered off to determine our order as 2 would follow 1, 3 follow 2 and so forth. Pax 1 would run to the other end of the parking lot to do shoulder presses, min 10 and max 25, and then handoff to 2. While pax 1 was on the bag, the remaining pax were doing exercises and pax 1 would pick up at the beginning or where they left off.

Exercises were: 25 bomb jacks, 50 jump squats, 75 calf raises, 100 SSH, 100 flutter right leg only, 75 CDD, 50 merkins, 25 burpees.

After the shoulder press and all pax completed this, next was 10/25 of curls. Then was 5 squats, then was 3 merkins with bag in your back. So continued to rotate the back as pax completed the 25-100-25.

Ran back to COT for a shable (a story in the tale of a fable authored by shady, shable). False ending so did a full lap around the parking lot, then back to COT.
MARY: went around the circle with stretching exercises called out…it was great.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: heard about how awesome HIM camp was, 9/11 on 9/9 event, newsletter
COT: old school CSPAN prayers and praises

Walk around the church

Leave a comment

10 #ao-golden-corral for a @chickenhawk walk around the church.  There was some #feba.  by @OldBay and @Twister with just a bit of mumble chatter across the rest of the pax.  We had some UvU, iron sharpening iron and a great morning under the 90% waxing Gibbos moon.
