38 Specials borderline triumphant return to the Gloom

it was my borderline triumph at return of the gloom after having injured my ankle back on January 31st! I would have felt like it was a lot more triumphant if during the first side startle hot my ankle didn’t tell me I had to stop doing these pretty quickly.
WARMUP: SSH, low slow squat, windmill
THE THANG:
round one
count off and pair up for a simple DORA. 100 merkins, 200 squats, 300 LBC. the partner not doing reps farmer carries both bells ~60m (it really adds up over time)
round two
everyone grabbed their bells and walk to the north end of the parking lot. where a deck of cards with all of the faces removed dictated what we would do next. hearts were curls, clubs were shoulder, press, diamonds or chest press, and spades were deadlifts. any jokers were a run up the hill and every six cards we would mosey down to the end of the parking lot back. unfortunately my shuffling skills were terrible because both Jokers ended up being at the bottom . I noticed this and very secretly inserted one of the jokers into the middle of the deck but not high enough. apparently that we would get to it, much to everyone’s great annoyance
MARY: 60 seconds of flutter with a chest press
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots of sea sops and events coming up
COT: asked everyone to think about responsibilities that they may not want or may feel a bit of animosity toward and reflect on why and how to deflect or reduce the stress they feel from that

MLK Tribute

5 men showed up at The Yard on a cold ,breezy morning. Warm-ups started at the basketball courts with SSHs, Windmills, Imperial Walkers, Squats, and MNCs.
Next, we honored MLK with 15 burpees for his age when he entered college. He was only 39 years old when he passed away. I read his heart was in the condition of a 60 year old, mostly due to stress (he was also a smoker). Next, we moseyed to the back parking lot for a round of DORA (Merkins, Squats, LBCs). More MLK facts, over 700 streets, parks are named after this great man. He also made over 1500 speeches over his lifetime. Back to the basketball courts, dips on the wall, lunge walk to the basketball goal, reverse lunge walk to the foul line for 10 Bobby Hurleys (NC State graduate according to Boogie Down). We completed three round before time was up.
Back to COT.
MLK was an amazing man. We each have an opportunity to make an impact in this world, more importantly, in our community. We just need to take a step forward and act.
