Leave a comment

WARMUP: started out with a quick mosey, went into SSH then merkins, then more running and SSH and more merkins. Ran some more, then cherry pickers, and more merkins…also did some stretches. Ran over to pull up bars.
THE THANG: Grabbed a cindy. Planned for some 7s. 1 pull up, 1 manmaker, overhead carry down the hill, then 6s at the bottom of the hill for squat thrusters. Then overhead carry back up the hill- just did this for 1 round with the overhead carry’s.

Then 2 and 5, etc. This took a long time.

We then ran over to the benches for incline and decline merkins. Then did more merkins on the way to COT.
MARY: out of time like Marty McFly
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Xmas eve convergence and Jan 1 homeless shelter
COT: bingo, lots of praises and prayers, aging parents and holiday travel

Kicking Ass & Chewing Bubble Gum

Leave a comment

Driving around FM the night before running errands and thinking about my Q at the Stockade. Reviewed a few BBs and didn’t see any references to coupons. Messaged The Pirate, who was Qing at Varsity, and asked if I could borrow a few Cindys. He was very much obliged as I took a few off his AO. Woke up this morning with a car packed full of Cindys and a plan, the only thing left to do was to kick ass and chew gum.

WARMUP: Short mosey around the small parking lot which led into the larger parking lot where I had the Belle Ringer IPC wo laid out. Performed a few SSH & Burpees while explaining the format of the workout. Time to work.

Surrogate BB for 12/1

Leave a comment

WARMUP: while the posting numbers are inaccurate, due to the many folks that don’t find the BB system worth their time… Some of us enjoy seeing the numbers climb.

Getting these done increases the accuracy of that,
and any motivation is good motivation IMHO.

THE THANG: kettlebell type stuff
MARY: abdominal type stuff
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter type stuff
COT: prayer type stuff
