“From the Mouthes of Babes”

When my kids found out that I was leading the workout they decided to take it upon themselves to show me the exercises that I should do.  After about 30 minutes of watch this daddy and how about this one the list was made.  There were standard ones like side straddle hops and merkins but then there where the more complicated, advanced exercises like leap frog (jumping over each other like a frog).  After some thought I decide I better modify where needed so there where no leap frogging but instead Burpee long jumps.  Most of the items here were left just as my kids said to do with some slight modifications.  So here it is:

Warm up: SSH x 15, Merkins x 15, LBC’s x 15, mosey run to pavilion

Pavilion 1: CDD x 10, Hip Slappers x 10, Merkins x 10

Jail Break to Light Post

Light Post: WW1 Sit ups x 10, Snow Angels x 10, Michael Phelps x 10

Lunges back to pavilion

Pavilion 2: Squats x 10, Step Ups x 10, Box Jumps x 10

Burpee Long Jumps to road and bear crawl back to pavilion

Rinse and Repeat, and then mosey run back to the parking lot with a few Burpees to salute the passing train.  Along the run it was determined if my 5 and 6 year old were going to come up with the weinke, next time they need to do it with us!

Once back at the car took the suggestion for the next exercise to be star gazing.  So we did and challenged the men to share about their M’s and 2.0’s and say one thing that they were thankful for about their M.  Then left them with a challenge to serve their M at least once before we meet again.

Mayor – Part Deux (No Snuffaluffagus)

Well Gents, this was the second Q in the same week.  I wanted to make if worth while since the pax were selling me their time…and I didn’t want to waste it.  The night before, there were some questionable tweets about what the Q might bring.

Disclaimer…yes

Pledge…yes

Warm up…yes – this is not my favorite thing as I believe a lot of its wasted energy, but a certain pax whos name rhymes with drownsqueak had some complaints so we did some SSHx10IC, Moroccan Night clubs x10IC, big and little circles (both forward and backwards).

We do a short mosey to the fire department lot where the pavement is smooth and flat….yes I am a merciful ruler.  YHC asked if anyone one has done the Magnificent Seven.  Sargento said he heard of it and I quip back “you’re gonna learn today”. Magnificent Seven is seven types of Mericans without stopping.  We did 5 each of CDDs, Wide, Rangers (hands toward stomach), Diamonds, Crucible (hands turned out 90 degrees) and Chuck Norris.  Then run a lap around town.  10 minutes AMRAP

Next up is the fellowship mosey to the upper lot for some Aiken Legs.  20 squats, 20 calf raises, 20 split jacks, 20 lunges single count.  Run a lap around the building and up the stairs.  10 minutes AMRAP.   When time was up, YHC happen to be at the bottom of the steps when time was up and here came the chirping.

After another fellowship mosey back to the bridge, we run across and go to the three rail fence.  With feet on the bottom rail, do five mericans, move feet up to the middle rail, do five mericans, move feet up to the top rail, do five mericans.  Run across the bridge and hit 30 flutter kicks.  10 minutes AMRAP.  Due to the two trains throughout the workout, we had to hit some burpees and time was starting to run out.  We mosey back to the start with enough time for 25 Freddy Mercs IC and 10 French Fries IC.

Announcments:  March 11 2.0 event at Goat Island for some disc golf.  Hoppy curls prior to event.

Prayer Requests:  Tophat and Family due to loss of brother, but his dad is getting close to moving back home.  Brownstreak for leadership and quality time with his son who will be graduating early to get to college. Jim Abernethy’s family as he was taken off of life support and passed away about three hours before the workout.

Name-o-Rama and COT.  Thanks to Dolph for taking us out.

Until next time gents……

Thursday at The Pub

Welcome to The Pub. We run.

No disclaimer (forgot); No Pledge (forgot); not the Epic start I had planned.

At the last second, YHC decided on a little road run (no sidewalk) and tackle the hill on Gaston Day School Road (toward the roundabout) first to get it out of the way. We ran. Some faster than others. Good mumble chatter (is that one word?). Gaston Day School Road to roundabout – Right on Kendrick – Brief detour through Clubview Estates – Back to Kendrick Rd. – Right on Robinwood (Changes to Hoffman Rd) – Detour through Colony Woods neighborhood – Back to Hoffman for final section back to The Pub.

We finished. No one got hurt (no blood or falling down).

~ 5 miles. P200 is about 4 weeks out. Keep up the miles.

Announcements: March 4th – 9:00 am – Work day at the Rotary Community Garden – 2.0’s welcome; Some talk about an upcoming Ultimate Frisbee event??; Convergence on March 18th.

Several Prayer requests.

COT complete.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

Until the next one. AYE!
