Deck of Awesomeness

WARMUP:
Mosey to FM Church of God…SSH, Low slow squats, seal jacks and Moroccan nightclubs. Mosey to FM Baptist rear parking lot.

THE THANG:
Deck of cards: Hearts = Merkin. Spades = BBSU. Diamonds = Lunge. Clubs = Crab cakes. Joker = 15 burpees. 2s = Lap around parking lot. PAX made it through 90% of the deck before DOAH decided to “help” by selecting new cards for the remainder of the WO. As punishment for DOAH’s “help,” we pivoted to 7’s on the Withers St hill. Jump Squats at the bottom and merkins at the top.

Boys in Toyland

WARMUP: We did some stuff around the SF then crossed the street to find better pavement and church cameras for Monkey Humpers

THE THANG: We moseyed behind the church where the pax found a stack of toys and chalk. Each pax picked a partner and together they picked a toy and then set up a station with an exercise. Partner 1 did the exercise while Partner 2 ran a short loop. Flapjack. Then move to next station with Partner. After completing all stations, we changed partners and stations, made up new exercises and repeated the cycle.

MARY: We split Mary between the back lot and the SF lot. Cousin Eddie earned his War Baby label for the morning by pushing the pax a little extra with BBSU x20 as we closed out.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Trash pick up Sat, clown car Sat for COLA 10yr, CPR training Sat

COT: The open-ended weinke today was aimed at sparking some creativity among the pax and inspiring potential Site Qs. Our 4th core principle is “peer led in a rotating fashion” and that applies to Site Qs as well as to workout Qs. I look forward to the day when I’ll take a Shovel Flag once again. Our Site Qs lead right on the front lines — it’s not easy…and that’s why it’s so important and so fulfilling!!!

Thanks to Dojo for his leadership and the opportunity to carry The flag this am!

COT: Great to lead the pax in place of Cake Boss whose on IR (but still posting in the Gloom for some light work and 2nd F — way to go brother)!

My first workout with Hayden Fry who smartly waited to make his first post at The Fort instead of Chicago before he moved south. Great to have you on board!

Vuvu can’t decide whether to run or bootcamp so he got a little of both, walking with CB, then running all over the Gloom to find us, then joining for the final 15. Nice work!

Prayers for Slapshot and his M and family as they navigate unfortunate health news for is MiL. TAPs, brother.

Thanks to the pax for pushing throughout and especially for posting. I can’t do this thing we call life alone, and it’s invaluable to know you’re always there.
