Q-Fusion

Leave a comment

A litte Q-fusion this morning at <#C02PK4V7WLV>. I noticed several Pax running around the AO before kick-off time. Most getting some extra miles before the Dam to Dam relay. I noticed <@U5Y5JA02G> running and I thought I had seen his name of the Q Line-up for the Catawba Ridge AO (whatever the new name is).
After clearing up the Q-Fusion, we started with a mosey around the parking lot. We stopped a few times for Toy Soldiers, Butt Kickers, and Knees to Chest. we made our way to the band parking lot for the first phase:
– Bear crawl out to 10, 2 burpees, crawl bear back to start
– Bear crawl out to 20, 4 burpees, crawl bear back to start
– Bear crawl out to 30, 6 burpees, crawl bear back to start
– Bear crawl out to 40, 8 burpees, crawl bear back to start
– Bear crawl out to 50, 10 burpees, run back to start

Next, same markers, except run out, 10 SSH (+10 each marker), Nur back to start.
Last set, same marker, run, 10 squats, nur back to start.

Next, we moseyed to pull-up bars. 5s – 1 pull up, 4 squat thrusters, increase pulls +1, decrease squats -1
Rinse and Repeat
Finished off with a Jack Webb

Good to see some new faces. we had a out of town visitor and a Kotter.
Great job guys

Your MILGA is showing

Leave a comment

What a wonderful day in the MILGAhood. This being my first visit and q to Colosseum, I aimed to disappoint. The workout was this

– poles on the back of the school. increase rep count by 1 at each pole then return to start. Burpee Merkin Squat is taking the fort by storm
– found the only set of accessible steps on the entire west side. The count was however many leaps it took to get to the top by each pax. Average was 3 leaps. Some folks (Bandcamp) were jackasses and took 9. First excersice was burpees, then after everyone went we did dips
– then went to the court for broadjumps as our rep count. average was 4. step ups was the excersice until all pax had jumped
– lunge walk and bear crawl back to cot for 5 minutes of mary

Yes, i made pretty much all of this up as we went. I like to live dangerously like that.

Work from the Bird:
We all need prayers. Its not selfish to ask someone to pray for you. Don’t think you always need to pray for someone else. That’s a great thing, but you need to be right also. Work on that vertical relationship. Gotta get you right so you can help others. I’m asking for prayers for me. Send me all the love you got right now and ask Gods help too. I challenge you all to be bold and pick someone in COT to pray for. Even if they don’t ask for it. I GUARANTEE it will make their entire day having that power.

Don’t worry, stats are intact.

Backblasts are rarely read, and arguably aren’t serving the purpose they once did. Is that good? Bad? Neutral? They do serve a purpose, though, and so I will do it. Sort of.

Watching professional sports reminds us that every player has different responsibilities. The same as true in life. I may not know what my wife packed in the kids’ suitcases for our trip, but she doesn’t have to carry those suitcases. She packs, I carry. Same team different role. Not everyone gets the game ball, but without all parts playing together, you can’t win. Play your part and enjoy the victory. Game on!
