More Moron Recovery

After being a MORON, withstanding Hush Puppy’s PainLab on Saturday, and celebrating Mother’s Day yesterday, YHC was not quite ready for Monday to get here (physically or mentally). But time rolls on, so YHC rolled out of the fartsack a little earlier than normal to try to get a little more stretching in. Rolling into Neverland at 0515, Easy Rider was already parked. Within just a few minutes 13 had joined YHC in the gloom.

0530 its go time.

No FNG’s, so a short standard disclaimer is given.

Pledge

Warm Up (While some would claim there was no warm up, YHC is going to write it up this way.):
Mosey to Bellacino’s parking lot (Side Note: If you haven’t tried Bellacinos, they have great pizza and grinders.)

Thang:
YHC had been reading old backblasts from the start of F3 Gastonia, the inspiration for this came from a Martha’s House workout Q’d by none other than Outhouse in 2015.
Start with 5 SSH in the first set of parking spots.
Sprint to 1st light – 10 Sumo Squats.
Nur to start – 10 SSH
Sprint to 2nd light (stop at 1st light – 1 Burpee) – 15 Sumo Squats
Nur to start – 15 SSH
Spring to 3rd light (stop and 1st and 2nd light – 1 Burpee) – 20 Sumo Squats
Nur to start – 20 SSH

During the 10 count, Island graced us with his presence, bringing the total to 16.

Next YHC called an Indian Run around the building. While this started out well, it quickly got out of hand with a near sprint pace by halfway around and JJ, Whoopee and Defib taking off in a full-on jailbrake by 2/3.

Next on the hit parade was a repeat of the first exercise with Mountain Climbers in the parking spots and Hand-Release Merkins at the lights.

While the intent was to do another Indian Run, this was quickly modified to a just a mosey around the building return to the wall of the abandoned grocery store. (Even then certain attendees ran some EC around the ATM as well.)

Everybody on the wall for People’s Chair with some hands in the air marching. YHC doesn’t remember the count as he was scheming an audible to the plan…

To ensure there was much joy brought to all who attended, YHC asked Whoopee to lead in 10 Hip-Slappers IC. If you have ever done Whoopee’s Hip-Slappers, you know the joy this brings to everyone.

Even though we were now on the other end of the parking lot a repeat of the 1st set of exercises was in order with American Hammers in the parking spots and Monkey Humpers at the lights.
YHC knew time was starting to get short, so the mosey was shortened to just around the parking lot, again ending at the wall.

Again the People’s Chair was called, this time all were “encouraged” to get those thighs parallel to the ground. YHC then asked Gastone to lead the marching this time. YHC did not give Gastone a count, so after 25, Q Omaha’d whatever number Gastone may have gone to… Q fail #1.

YHC was down to less than 10 minutes and still had one more set to get done. To get this in, the “first” light was eliminated with Big Boy Sit-ups in the parking spots and LBCs at the lights.
Somewhere in the middle of the last Big Boys, it was time to mosey back to SnoBalls to ensure YHC was not accused of demanding EC/overtime.

We arrived there with 2 minutes to spare, so some Mary. As Gastone had been out of pocket with family, YHC asked him to start.
30 IC Flutters later, YHC informed Gastone he had to share Mary (Q fail #2)
To complete Mary, Island called LBCs and Dirt with Peter Parkers and Parker Peters.

Time!

Thanks to JJ for picking up the six (other than during the Jailbrake).

Moleskin:
While I was driving to work after this workout, I ended up behind a minivan who driving either very slow or very fast and was barely keeping it between the curb and oncoming traffic. The vehicle ultimately missed a curve in the road, jumped the curb and hit one the big switch housings (that control the traffic lights) at 35-40, half-flipped, half-rolled and landed on the wheels. The lady driving didn’t have any visible wounds, but didn’t start to respond until just before EMS/Fire/Police rolled up. The van is going to be a total loss, but I pray she is ok.
Seeing this accident brought to mind how short and precious life is and how our region has been hit with much loss and hurt recently. Through our Fellowship and Faith we can get each other through these trials. None of us know the time we have allotted on this Earth, but I know we can have eternity if we know Jesus.
Thank you for the opportunity to lead. I hope I made it worth your while to roll out of the fartsack.
Either way, there are no refunds…

Watts Up powering down.
