Fitness, Fellowship, Faith

Day: June 27, 2019

Yo, check out that assphalt dude!

I took the Q at approximately 10:00 p.m last night.  Let’s just go with the flow…

VooDoo, Dry-rub, Outhouse and Watts Up had already arrived, then here comes HIPAAAAAAA in off a jog, and Whoopee could have stabbed me by sneaking up with his pre-ruck EC.  I said a disclaimer, and that this was my DSVQ, so we take off….THEN comes Hushpuppy.  I told him in my last BB to get a watch.

We rucked.  Then I set my timer to every 3 minutes to do 10 squats, 10 merkins, 10 LBC’s.  So I had a vest on and the LBC worked, everyone else griped.  They also said I was light of weight, but I was at 28 lbs thank you very much.

Next interval was same but with flutters instead of LBC.  Then Planks instead of flutters.  Just a lot of rucking.  Then I asked Whoopee if it was cool to bear crawl.  On the field, Indian Ruck Bear Crawl with Plants, Merkins and Squats.  I call it the IRBCPMS.  We rucked.  Around and around doing stupid stuff, I found a hill and we bear crawled to the top, merkins at the top, repeat-o.  Then I had them do curls and something else.  Let’s get back.

5 minutes left and things got groovy.  What happened next…..the exercises performed were individual acts of perversion, so profound, and disgusting, that decorum prevents me from listing them here.  Faithfully submitted,  Rudolph of F3 Gastonia, Sgt. at Arms.  Show to know.

  • CONVERGENCE THIS SATURDAY.  AT THE SCHIELE.  BRING SOCCER ARMS

  • MURPH AT MARTHA’S ON JULY 4th, WHOOPEE STYLE.  DO IT.

  • MOVE MONK ON SATURDAY STARTING AT 2.  YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE.  HE MAKE BEER WE MAKE MOVE GOOD.

Whoopee lead us out in prayer.  I liked my stay at the Diablo Sammich.  Great work men!

GDiggathon Pt. 4: The Run

Little League travels far from home to grace Never Black Sno Cones…or whatever with his presence. What better way for an out of towner to introduce himself than with an out of town workout, modeled on YHC’s experience with Metro workouts.

Options A & B were provided (both involved well over 3 miles of running). A, the flatter, but longer option, was chosen. Essentially the goal was for everyone to run at least 4 miles and I believe nearly everyone succeeded in that, or at the very least, pushed it to the edge of their comfort zone, which is what this workout was all about. And while there was a lot of running (forward and backwards) involved, there were more exercises than I can list here performed as well.

I was incredibly impressed by the effort shown by all, especially those who might not consider themselves “runners”. If you are one of those PAX, I would encourage you to push yourself to get out to a running AO. You have more in you than you think. Even if you start with 2 or 3 miles slow, that’s more than 90% of the population. I can’t think of a better feeling than when you finish a run that you didn’t think you could do. That’s always my motivation to try new running challenges.

GD soapbox moment over.

Announcements: Convergence 6/29 Gashouse, Tuna team 2 needs runners, 7/4 Murph at Martha Rivers 07:00, Christmastown 5K signup open, post out of town if you’re traveling!

Prayer Requests: Montross’ mother

GDiggathon Pt. 3: The Hills

Workout 3 of the Diggathon comes to Gaston County’s Premier afternoon workout and thus YHC needs to step up his game. What better way to bring the heat on a cloudy day than with a workout that “made Gastone sick”, so obviously Gastone thought it was a great idea. Funnily enough, he didn’t show for said workout…

Anyway, the workout was simple enough: W/U with burpees, duh. Mosey to soccer fields for 11’s between the two big hills about 0.25 miles apart. Partners run opposite directions. Turkish getups at the top, Partner merkins in the middle, switch directions.

Not much time left, but we still squeezed in a LBC Indian Run and the GD shoulder burn.

Solid work put in by all. A lot of PAX got in 3 miles on top of everything else.

Same announcements as every Q this week, check another Backblast for crying out loud.

Prayer Requests: People battling addiction.

Until next time (which will be very soon),

GD

Gashouse Convergence

Save the Date.  June 29, 07:00 Convergence at The Gashouse.  They said it couldn’t be done.  Well, nobody really said that but Painlab and Bootcamp combined will work out together.  Park at the Schiele Museum, we mosey/fellowship mosey from there.  This will be a combined great workout and mumblechatter fellowship event.  Guest starring Short Sale for a special merlot churner Ab destroyer.

Breakfast immediately following at Union Diner, 1101 Union Road.  Not the same charm as Folsom’s Country Kitchen, Union Diner circa sometime 2018 we figure at least the ingredients are still fresh?  Breakfast is good though.  Turn right coming out of the Schiele, go approx. 1.5 miles +/- turn left on Union Rd.  Union Diner about a 1/4 mile down on the right.

Bring a friend, EH a Kotter.

See you There.

Aye…..Linus/Watts Up
