Merkin Filled Zipper

This is Band Camp reporting for the work-swamped Fire Marshall Bill and the 16 other PAX at minnow pond on 8/4. Looks like y’all ran a zipper and did merkins? This report has not been verified, but I think the tags are accurate

Minnow Pond starts with the pledge of allegiance. Off to Church of God parking lot. The route – Crossroads 10 Merkins -4 different legs with 4 different exercises. 15 squats top of Hill, 15 Monkey Humpers top hill at 160, 15 dips in front of Bloom, 10 Bomb Jacks Road past COG. Repeat until 5:55. Met back for a quick Mary of 40 flutters in cadence. Head back to COT.

Discussed we need other men in our life for accountability, guidance in work, marriage, raising kids and keeping a balance. Can’t do life alone and plenty of men in the Fort that can provide wisdom of life. Seek out other men!!!

Thanks Jekyll for the opportunity to lead.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Anniversary coming up for the Fort, stuff the bus, Stang Golf and read Newsletter.

COT:prayers for Jekyll recovery, Walker and others recovering. Marriages and kids starting back to school.

Zipper takes no mercy

Leave a comment

WARMUP: None!

THE THANG: Zipper: 3.2-3.8 miles of neighborhood hate. 10 merkins and 10 squats at every cross street between Spring and Unity. If the reps dont kill you the hills will. Always a #crowdpleaser and you are better (albeit #smoked) after.

MacGuyver was the #King today- no surprise. B.O.B was up there and Grout was in top 3 or 5? #triplehate Bash Brothers: State Farm and Jackalope came back to swim at the pond for the second week in a row. Also great to see their dads. Keep your eye on Cousin Eddie. He’s rising fast!

MARY: Dont understand

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Brew Ruck tonight, Final Countdown
CSAUP 9/10

COT: Praise and Prayers for State Farm and Jackalope who will be making their way to the Citadel in a few weeks. Prayers for marriages, our children.

Respect Bday Q

Leave a comment

YHC was honored to Q minnow pond on my actual 50th (RESPECT) birthday. since the theme is 50, the route was a loop with 5 pain stations with 3 exercises of 10reps (to equal 50 reps per exercise and lap). Goal was 5 laps for the gazelles.

The stations were at Main/Tom Hall, Tom Hall/Withers, Withers/Confederate, Withers/Watson, and Railroad/Main.

Unfortunately I scheduled skin cancer surgery 2 days prior without thinking about the implications. Doctor requested I not exercise for 2 weeks but I couldn’t resist. Reason why I mention this is as a Public Service Announcement: use sun screen all year long and always reapply daily to avoid skin cancer.
