Catch me if you can, Chumbawamba!

10 Men braved the early morning hours to join Gastone in the battle to end Sadclown syndrome.

The Thang:

Pledge to start right at 5:30am.

Chumbawamba To the song Tubthumper. Start with SSH at the beginning of song, then every time they say, “I get knocked down, but I get up again” you do a Burpee. While not doing Burpee’s you are continuously doing SSH. Lot’s of mumble chatter, that makes it better for me.

Follow me to the trail that goes around the baseball field for a little Catch me if you can. Partner up, first guy does 5 Burpee’s, second guy runs backwards. Once done with burpee run forward to catch partner then turnaround and go backwards. Rinse and repeat until we make the full circle. Oh, joy more mumble chatter.

Plank with a little right arm right foot switch and gather everyone.

Next, at the bottom of the hill partner 1 Merkins while partner 2 lunge walks up hill and runs back down. Rinse and repeat 3x.

Mosey the the wall next to the picnic area and have a seat on the wall.

Balls to the Wall, for a silent 20 count. Crowd favorite on this one. If they only knew it was easier to actually put your body against the wall. Much harder not to do so. (At this point Whoopee mentioned that we could be at the picnic area instead. So I being the good guy I am obliged.

Picnic tables, 20 Jump ups on your own. 15, 3 count dips, 25 Flutter (maybe the count was crazy), 3X

Indian Run back and then it fell apart and we just ran back.

Everyone thought it was over but we don’t want to waste the 2 minutes left so we did 3 count, Diamonds, Carolina Dry Docks, and Wide Arm Merkins.

The End.

The Moleskin: I think it was the song that set all the good spirits this morning with a classic like Tubthumper. A few people showed how happy they were with a fist bump and a few people skipped my hand and just hit me. Stroganoff will have to add the joke that I missed to the comments below, I can’t wait. We completed 1.7 miles today, we worked hard and had a good time. I like that we give time for everyone to ask for prayers and pray for all of them we do.

Thanks for the honor to Q another workout, it is great to be part of such a great group of guys. Let’s continue to grow this thing and make more great men.

Gastone Out!
