Gastone’s Birthday

7 Pax strong to begin the work week and as luck would of have it to celebrate Gastone’s birthday.   In hindsight, we should of saluted with rounds of 50, however, it was early, YHC was tired and trying to determine how much to push.  Probably more so for YHC as I’ve gotten very good this summer at fart sacking.

Started with the disclosure

As I compile the backblast, just realizing YHC missed the pledge.  Q fail for sure.  My apologies

Warm Up

SSH x 25 ic

MNC x 50 ic

LBC’s x 25 ic

Merkins x 10 ic

Mosey to the old HT parking lot

The Thang

20 big boy sit ups; followed by a plank; turned into Nolan Ryan’s each arm

Then run around the backside of the shopping center and back to the starting point

Rinse and repeat x3

Being that numbers were a bit lower, it was time for some group think.  Great way to build collaboration, engage the full PAX and have a little fun.  What we didn’t know, couldn’t hurt right?

Thanks for the push men.  Good work.  It’s always an honor to Q.   Q spots are open over the coming months at Neverland and Martha’s House.   If you haven’t Q’d lately, time to get on the board.

Till next time
