Iron Mike made me late

Leave a comment

WARMUP: When you stay up late to watch Tyson, you sleep too long and then the site Q takes over. When you hear others stayed up to watch as well, you don’t have any excuses.

Thanks to JCruise for stepping in to get things started!

Disclaimer was given and we did a few warmup exercises before we got going: windmills, low slow squat, merkins, and cherry pickers.
THE THANG: Pearls on a string with a tour of campus. Started with 10 and then added 20 to the 10, and so on at each stop.
1. 10 bomb jacks
2. 20 Diamond merkins
3. 30 hammers (single count)
4. 40 squats
5. 50 flutters (double count)
6. 60 calf raises (3 different ways)

The tour took us to one entrance, then down a trail path, couple light poles, and all over. It was great and fun conversation.
MARY: quick round the horn call out of exercises
ANNOUNCEMENTS: got it
COT: CSPAN style!

Brick laying at the yard

WARMUP: ssh, imp walkers, windmills, Peter Parker’s and shoulder taps, all in cadence
THE THANG: 2 workout stations were set up at opposite ends of the school parking lot. Each had a list of exercises/rep counts eg 40 flutters. In the middle was a basketball goal and the middle school walking track. Pax would proceed to one station and do the first listed exercise. They would return to the middle and shoot a shot. If it goes in, just run a lap and proceed to station 2 to do the first exercise there. If the shot misses, 10 derkins, then run a lap and proceed to station two. Repeat this until time.

We quit a little early and played a game of knockout – we’re bad at basketball
MARY: we went around the circle, but there were 2 set of burpees called, so Mary got a little out of control, and then the dog licked someone’s butt

We checked all the boxes today
ANNOUNCEMENTS: y

10th Annual Clave Boss 5k/10k Christmas Convergence

Leave a comment

It’s the most wonderful time of year and not for shopping and lights and eggnog but because it’s the 10th annual Clave Boss Christmas 🎅🏼 Convergence

💪🏻 🔥 🎄 💥 💪🏻 🔥 🎄

Here’s the run down:
Date: Tuesday12/24/23
Place: Fort Mill Middle School “THE YARD”
Times:
💥0600-10k launch
💥0610-5k launch
💥0715ish-Bootcamp launch (Some HIMs Qing)
💥0830ish-Poppins Sweatwaters Coffee and stuff…yes that stuff

This is opportunity to bring family neighbors and kotters out for a great morning to push yourself physically but also have awesome 2nd F.

ALL levels of PAX can do the 5k and bootcamp as it will be challenging but no man will be left behind.

Barry Manilow approved all of this and like the Honey Badger, I don’t care what the critics say.

Keep Posting!! See you In Da Gloom!

<@U05RN7GSDLH> was doing his Site Q duties and looking for the next leader to pass the Shovel Flag :flag-us:on to. :pickup_truck:

<@U05K5D10AG6> and his canine friend were in full effect. Checking form and sniffing for clues. :dog2: :mantelpiece_clock:

<@U07QXBKKF5F> posted for only his third time but already looks like a pro! Good work! And happy birthday to his 2.0 (son) :partying_face:. Just keep posting.

<@UN6PTD007> brought all the deep dish pizza from Chicago he could find and was King of the workout. :pizza: :prince:

<@UNKNC6XNZ> was singing :microphone: Do You Really Want To Hurt Me? And my answer was yes, with all the lunges we did.

<@UST30T7FF> or… Ruby! Ruby! Ruby! (See Kaiser Chiefs) was always encouraging and probably the strongest man there. So much so that he left the workout on his own two feet. No car. :muscle:

<@U061P7HUFRR> was out selling insurance and running laps around guys half his age. :male-office-worker:

YHC was blessed to lead such a fine group of men who want to get 1% better today in their mind, heart and body.

My report is trueish and is open to interpretation.

The Thrill is gone. :v:
