Head behind the Oil Change garage for a partner Dora. Derkins, Dips & Step ups.

I’m off and amazed how nervous and sleepless I am the night before a Q. Must be because it’s an important role to play. We all wanna do a good job for the Pax that show up. Always an honor to lead.

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.
