9 posted for some pain promised by Whoopee. I was fresh off the plane from a pheasant hunting trip with Feelgood, Bumgardner, Boss Hogg (remember him????) where I did my best to reduce the pheasant population and EH some unsuspecting sad clowns. Don’t worry, the pheasants were never in any danger from me.
We started with a disclaimer about being stupid and how the pain is felt by others then did a real-live warm up with SSH X 40 followed by squats, LBCs, Mountain Goats (someone shoot me and revoke my Q privileges if I try that one again), flutter kicks, and imperial walkers. Next we did a mobile warmup with slow high knees, lunge walk, karaoke and shuffle slide.

Mosey to the parking lot in Martha’s
Introduction to Jack Webb-Escalator from 10 down to 1 Merkins alternating with Escalator Air Presses from 1 up to 10. Short discussion on who Jack Webb was-thanks Spiderman for the unintentional reminder by mentioning something about Friday and shaking loose the cobwebs in my head that Jack Webb was the actor who played Sgt. Joe Friday on TV show Dragnet.
Mosey to parking lot in front of playground near picnic tables for the main event: in honor of Stroganoff (WHO I WON’T MENTION FARTSACKED TODAY) we did 22’s. The plan was 2 man teams but we had 9 present so (thankfully) we had teams of 3. Start on one end of lot and do 20 Burps then escalator down to 2 (by 2 each time) alternating with 2 Squats with escalator up to 20 (by 2 each time) on the other end of the lot. The painful part of this involved piggy back riding your partner from 1 side to the other. With 3 man teams, 1 Pax could walk/mosey each trip while the other 2 Pax became better acquainted during the piggy back ride. Sorry SledgeOMatic, the Queen did not accompany me to South Dakota and I ate and drank more than my share and probably put on a few pounds. This was the part of the workout that really kicked in with the weight loss. I was carrying TSquare on each of my trips and on about the 5th trip, he suddenly became a few pounds lighter. When I turned around to see what was going on, all I saw was Defib. Before he could jump off I took off like a …..well it was not really that fast however in my mind I was moving like Kimberly “Sweet Brown” Wilkins running for my life. I ran out and didn’t grab no shoes or nothing. AIN’T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!

I ran for my life all the way to the other side where I quickly deposited Defib before TSquare could trade places.
Next we moved on to the picnic tables for some dips: reps of 15 then 20 then 15 I think. The Turd Shack was calling (in a good way) so we went there for some hip slappers and donkey kicks. Time was running low so we moseyed back to Pelican’s but stopped along the way for front-of-the-pack-led Mary led by Defib then Billy Madison then Whoopee.
We arrived a little too soon so we had some more Mary then called it quits.
Namorama, Announcements, Prayers:
At the time we mentioned Bandit and his family going through some tough times with Bandit’s mother (and some other Pax) and the need to be able to lean on each other and occasionally be carried or help carry each other when we are going through rough times. #shieldlock. The partner carry part of 22s above was meant to remind us of that-thanks for posting T Square-your presence is mutually beneficial and I know you know that.
Earlier today I received word from Bandit that his mother had passed away peacefully during the night. Although death will always be a part of our lives, I don’t think I will ever get used to it. I am sad for my F3 brothers when they are sad and I know things will be tough for Bandit for awhile. Take some time today to let those you care about know how you feel today. After reading this, please also pause for a few minutes to say a prayer for our brother Bandit and his family. We will be here for you when you are ready to come back. I am thankful for each one of you-we all have an impact on those around us, especially in the gloom-remember that and let that motivate you to get better and hold your brothers accountable.
Whoopee
