Fast and Furious 6’s

6 manly men showed up at Midoriyama for an breezy, warm afternoon session ( A low number but appropriate considering the workout planned). We usually have a larger crowd but evidently a Def Leppard Q scares some folks away (almost like a Gastone Q). A while back I attended a Martha’s House workout with Whoopee based on the Fast and Furious 6 movie he had watched the night before and I enjoyed that one so I decided to (kinda, sorta) re-use it for my Midoriyama brothers.

Floppy Disk with his new shoes was the sprint winner in the first heat and maybe another heat. Defib won at least 2 maybe 3 heats and this was after he ran and EC 6 miles before the workout, Aye! Blart may have won one that was too close to call. I don’t think Slaw won any but he was saving his energy to run with his M after our workout. Canteen and I were content with solid finishes near the back each round.

After each sprint I relayed some verses dealing with anger; Fast and Furious 6…Sprints and Anger and 6 reps.. see what I did there. The verses spoke to being slow to anger and how practicing that can help with turning away from other negative behaviors and how turning from anger shows wisdom. I admit this is a problem I have had for many years. I would throw a ball glove, get a technical foul, or get in an argument with someone out of anger. I have improved but reminded the Pax that this is a daily, hourly, even minute by minute struggle that we all need to overcome.

To the bleachers for Dips IC x 20, then 12 then 10. Pax probably needed more but that was all the Q had!

Mosey back to the playground for another round of 6 pullups, 6 Derkins, 3 sets. No soccer arms at Midoriyama!

Mosey to the steps at the ballfield but they were occupied. If Freight had been there, a discussion about fighting for use of the steps would have taken place so maybe it was best he was at work. Mosey back to our parking lot for a quick Wheel of Merkins on the curb with 5 at each of the 4 positions. Pledge at our non-existent flag.

Announcements – Nomads this Saturday at 6:00 am at Mall going to Rock Hill Convergence. Mud Run, May 20th F3 Gastonia has 3-4 man teams with YHC being talked into that madness.

Prayer Requests – Floppy Disk having some complications after having his wisdom teeth removed, Billy Madison’s in-laws, Pockets doing better but still in our prayers, Tool Time’s recovery from surgery.
