3 lessons from Sugar Daddy

WARMUP: Jog to the barber shop – various exercises in cadence – windmills, low slow squats, seal jacks, imperial and hillbilly walkers, plank and stretch – then PAX we’re off for a trip to the dumpsters

THE THANG: lesson 1 – work fast – treat movements with a sense of purpose and urgency. 7’s – merkins at the curb and squats at dumpster 1

Lesson 2 – change speeds – off to dumpster 2 – 7’s with burpees and merkins at ends of the parking lot. Be prepared as a leader to meet others at their pace when attempting to influence

Lesson 3 – throw strikes – mosey to Grace presby and do rounds of incline merkins, step ups OYO and dips at the benches and the curb. Then on the way to COT one more round of 7’s in motion – Diamond merkins and sumo squats. Our activities should be targeted at those priorities (concentrica) most important in our lives. Are they??

MARY: Geometry class – protractors, rosalitas and hello dollys. PAX kept feet off ground at all times……until 0600 anyway.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: of course
COT: remains the 5th core principle

Thanks for the call Slapshot

Too much candy

WARMUP: Quick Mosey around HT parking lot to pick up Cubbie who came in hot
THE THANG:
Mosey to the bottom of Grant Farm Drive by the fountain.
11s called where PAX will do 1 squat at the bottom and 10 BBSU at the top entrance to the fire station. There was some confusion as to which side was which as the Q’s instructions may not have been consistent, but we got through it.
Walking 10 count and off to the traffic circle on Stockbridge Dr. The PAX formed a tight circle and did a bearcrawl of pain. 1 PAX bear crawled around the ring while everyone did AMRAP on an exercise that was NOT called by the bear crawler (so you can’t stick anyone with burpees).
Two rounds of that and there was just enough time to trot back to CoT for

The Kickoff of the Funhouse Farewell Tour

WARMUP:
I am certain we warmed up.

THE THANG:
It occurred to me as I sat to write this, that I have no idea (since it was a MONTH ago) what all we did that morning. I usually have a plan written out ahead that I either commit to memory, or will even shove a printout in my pocket to reference just in case. I didn’t do that this time. I know that I tried to call a few of the favorites of <@UGNDJBDU3> in his honor. I know we hit The Zipper and we definitely performed the Gonorrhea Burpee (because it has The Clap), but that’s all I really recall…

Now, the only person likely to read this is <@UGU3XR5RP>, but I just got painfully convicted about not writing Backblasts in a timely nor efficient manner. As I was looking back to see if I could find this weinke, I discovered that I have the BB from both my FNG post (administered by <@UN6U5PXNJ> and <@U08GGTLHL>) and from my VQ at The Armory.

<@U07QXBKKF5F> joined us as an FNG that morning. As it turns out, this came at a critical time in his life… and is hopefully blessing it. But, I failed him as a Q. He now does not have the enjoyment or blessing of being able to go back and read the report from his first post and reflect on that in the same way that I do. The first day I posted, I was sure I was going to die when Pusher said, “And now for the second half, I’ll hand this off to Jekyll”. I didn’t understand how the toughest workout I had ever done to that point in my adult life could have a SECOND HALF.

That’s a cherished memory. So, for Road Rash and every man after him, I commit to writing BackBlasts, making them interesting and timely, and hyping the reading of them after the fact. I also will attempt to persuade other men to do the same.

MARY: No chicks.
