You never know….

Well it was a record setting night at Midoriyama.  17 HIMS posted for a special Pizza Man delivery.  17:30 hit so it was time for the delivery.  It was another Thursday so I wanted to use a throwback delivery with some added toppings.  It went like this:

Warm-up:

SSH X 20 IC

Don Quixotes X 20 IC

Seal Jacks X 20 IC

The Thang:

Now it was time for the delivery.  The PAX went on a mosey throughout Midoriyama and at each opening on the right we performed two exercises with 25 reps each. The exercises were:

  • Merkins/LBC’s
  • Incline merkins/Flutters
  • Squats at the big opening
  • Decline Merkins/WWI
  • Wide merkins/American Hammers

After this set we couldn’t pass up the playground for some pull-ups.  While doing pull-ups someone noticed a train horn.  WHAT?  Train horn?  Well, everyone in Gashouse knows that means 5 burpees.  So the Q yelled Omaha and we did 5 burpees.  We then continued our mosey to the next openings for:

  • Diamond merkins/LBFC’s
  • CDD’s/Dying cockroaches

Continued the mosey to the picnic shelter after a count off to hear that record 17 number again.  At the shelter we performed:

  • Dips/Freddy Mercury’s

*Along the way there are four speed bumps which now are called “Burpee Bumps” thanks to Slaw.  At each Burpee Bump the PAX did 5 burpees.*

On the way back the Q went for a detour to slider hill.  The PAX ran down and up the hill then performed 1 burpee at the top, then 2, then 3, then 4, and finally 5.  Great work men!!

Fellowship mosey/mosey to the steps for calf raises.  These are not my favorite so it’s something I need more of.  We completed 5 calf raises on each step.

45 minutes complete.  Now time to mosey back to the flag for 22 merkins for the vets.

Theme of the workout: You never know what tomorrow begins so make the best of each day!!

With that being said, 15 years ago to the day my life suddenly changed.  I can honestly say that it was the worst day of my life.  Some people know but I lost my sister in a car accident.  Everyday was tough because I caught myself always asking why her and not somebody else?  After time of thinking and sole searching I asked myself, Is this the Christian way?  After that I started realizing that each of us are on this earth for a purpose and that God has a reason behind everything.  Now I honestly say that live everyday to the fullest and truly cherish every moment with friends and family I can.  You never know what tomorrow brings!!  I want to say thank you to my F3 brothers for posting to help me through this tough day.  Once again, you see God’s work because nobody knew what this day meant to me but yet 17 HIMS posted to set a record at Midoriyama.  GOD IS GOOD!!!

Isaiah 41:10– So do not fear, I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your GOD.  I will strengthen you and help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to lead a great group of men!! Until the next delivery Pizza Man is OOOUUUUUTTTTTT!!
