10 men rolled into the snow cone parking lot on a brisk morning in February for a Gastone Q to raise awareness for empty slots in the Q hole.
The Thang:
SSH 20
Carolina Dry Dock 10
Imperial Walker 20
Diamonds 10
Mosey from the parking lot to Riverwood Parkway
First telephone pole and at every telephone pole all the way to the “Village Ridge Hill” do 5 Burpee’s. We stayed together and did the 5 and mosey at a slower pace.
Plank
Backwards up the hill all the way to the top.
At the top we did 50 Flutters on my count and 40 LBC’s on your own.
Then 20 American Hammers all on a whisper count.
Then mosey to the botttom of the hill except for Whoopee who hit me on the arm on the way down and sprinted to the bottom without competition.
Plank, Raise right arm and then leg and the switch.
Lunge Walk to the first driveway on the left, mosey back down.
karaoke facing the right to the first driveway on the left.
Karaoke facing the left to the first driveway on the left.
Plank as all gathered.
Back up the hill but at every mailbox on the left 10 Squats. This added up and with correct form it would hurt. Try to challenge yourself if you can and make sure your form is correct on these. Your bum should go down to even with your knee’s.
At the top we planked and then mosey back down. (Defib could not take anymore and left to go home) (He had to go to work) Also, Whoopee was put in the dust on the way down by Gastone on the second trip down the hill.
We started up the hill again for every mailbox Merkins and made it halfway before I noticed the time. Mosey back down and then start heading back with a different exercise at every power pole.
20 Flutter, 20 Imperial Walker, 20 Carolina Dry Dock, 20 yards Lunges, 5 Burpee’s, LBC’s and so on.
Entered the parking lot exactly at 6:15.
The Moleskin:
I made several comments about how to sign up for a Q or subtle hints. Qing is an honor and I will be glad to Q all of the workouts but it will come at a price. We did have the next few workouts covered at Martha’s so my idea for the next few workouts will have to wait. I would like to see Turtleman and guys that have not done the Q step up and take the bull by the horns. We will be happy with your workout no matter what you bring, that is kind of what it is about.
Prayer request for my Mother In Law. Parkinson’s is a terrible disease and she is closer to the end than the beginning. She has had the disease for 20 years and she is a very strong lady. Her strength in trying not to use a wheel chair over the years or trying to keep things as they were for her family is always noticed. But, as the end is close and Hospice has come in like hero’s to the family with support in 10 different ways I try to look at all the positive impacts and laughs she has given me for the time that I have known her. I pray for her comfort and clarity over the next few months.
Overall it was another fun Monday morning with another easy workout. Thanks for letting me be the guy today and I look forward to the next one.
Gastone, out!
