The missed puddle

June 17, 2020 / / 0 Comments

8 Men gathered but one of them was seen in the distance of the parking lot. Hushpuppy went for a run, he was awake and running while you were sleeping along with the rest of us.

The Thang:

Seal Jacks 20

Imperial Walker 20

CDD 20

Mosey to bank lot across the street.

Blip kind of workout. We did 10 Seal jacks, 20 CDD, 10 Imperial Walkers, 20 Hand Release Merkins, 20 Flutters, and 20 Wide Arms.

Then we ran around the building back to start. We repeated 3 times only changing the 10 counts to 20 and the Wide Arms to Diamonds.

Mosey across the street to the Funeral home. 2 Medians along the entry. Start with 20 Mountain Climbers, Middle do Sumo Squat Jumps 10 (Constant), other side 2 Big boy sit ups. Rinse and repeat. We stopped a little early to run behind the building for Lunge Walk and Karaoke both  ways.

Mosey back tot he front for a backwards run to the entry.

Mosey back through neighborhood street. Stopped for 20 CDD, 20 CDD, and 20 Hand Release on the way back.

Finished just on time.

The Moleskin:

Mubble Chatter was higher due to slowing the pace of running and keeping the group together. Seal Jacks were comical due to the off beat clap sounds of our workout. We all had a good workout and burnt the arms up some.

Clavin attempted as the video shows to Whoppee puddle splash me on the Name-O-Rama. He failed greatly by missing the puddle by 20 yards. He tried to make up for this but at this point he ran over by himself to do this and got his shoes wet. Oh, the humor.

Prayers up as always for the family members.

Gastone Out!

 

The 300 Introduction

June 17, 2020 / / 0 Comments

4 showed early to partake in The 300

It’s pretty simple. We ran 5 miles and we did 300 Merkins.

Started with 30 at the beginning and then did 30 every half mile.

Whoopee suggested we do this. I had came up with the thought last year but suggested we do Burpee’s.

I will say that Merkin’s were tough.

Gastone Out!

We did Derkins in a circle. So they are called Circle Derkins. Just 10.

The end.

The Moleskin:

Easy Rider thought he might have to do something so he made me Q by calling me the night before. He really had to twist my arm. Seriously though, I just jump on the ball when it is on the ground. I believe I am finally getting right in my mind the last couple of months after a pretty tough 2019. Couple a week ago I finally made it to a beach and put my father’s ashes in the ocean which was his wish. I had know idea how much that must have been affecting me because it felt good to have that burden off me. Basically, before all this stuff happened in my life I thought I was tough.

Well now it’s been 2020 for a while and I still think it is better than last year.

Prayer’s for all that were mentioned.

Gastone Out@#@!

Corona, Covid-19, whatever you call it. This is a time to be the Q in your family, work, and friends. Be that guy that people look to and inform yourself. Help those in need and try to prepare Gaston County. Also, a good time to ease nerves of family and friends and try to be the rock that everyone needs in these times.

Prayers out to all that have to work through and be on the front lines. Prayers to all those who have things going on with a family member.

Gastone Out!
