Zero to no running

Yes …. you read that right . This workout was inspired by Broke who I explained to assembled pax about 1-1/2 months ago q’d the Storm running us all the way to Goat island and back then attempting to reach Midoriyama all the while adding exercises that made me wonder what it would be like to Q and not really move or move far without using coupons either. Top hat the other week spoke of too much running a few weeks back and I’d told him of this Q having “Zero to no running involved “, but unfortunately he was not present ….. so….
Arrive early to see Boudin…. yes Boudin is back and looks strong … rucking … I quickly grab my weighted vest and join in for two trips around parking lot. This HIM told me his plan to follow Whoopee going for 75 miles this month!
So with 5 minutes to spare , doff gear and greet pax assembling . Dirt has youngest son in tow for an FNG , this is another first for me never having led at the Storm and now an FNG!

Move slowly over to upper lot after having pax deliver the 5 core principles to our new recruit

Escalating four corners!
Corner 1. 25 merkins
Corner 2. 25 merkins and 50 plank jacks
Corner 3. 25 Merc 50 PJ and 75 lbcs
Corner 4 same as above adding 100 cDDs
When moving from corner to corner … remember NO running! We ….. NUR
Thankfully it was so humid sticky and hot … I chose not to deescalate… but we must do 5 burpees for the train that rolled through ….. Slaw was so happy!
NUR to school where we do 3 rounds of 10 dips 10 derkins and I choose to NOT use exercise I planned on of Hip slappers but change over to 10 burpees for Slaw! …. funny how there was almost no mumble chatter until I tell all this …. many thanked Slaw!!
Then Doodles mumbles about preferring some running , someone mentions setting Strava on drive home to get ANY running in …… soooooo…. I modify next exercises for Doodles giving pax 100 high knees 100 mountain climbers and 100 squats … we next lunge back and circle up and since there’s plenty on the clock we complete 2 short rounds of exercises I was originally going to call ….. ABC s … since were at school
25 A American Hammers
25 B Big Boy sit-ups
25 C CDDs
25 s squats
Still 3 minutes … I ask Boudin for 10 count ….and ask him fav exercise … Burpees….. how many? 5!
I look to other side ask Slaw what is …….. Sister Acts fav exercise ( we all KNOW if called on what was coming …. so I threw a curve ball which really messed both guys up …. so I asked SA what his exercise would be and he calls Mike Tyson’s and tells us 10 andddddd time!

No Diablo Sammich this Thursday , but Whoopee will bd leading a Fourth Murph at 7

There will NOT be a Midoriyama workout this Thursday (7/4)
Possibly another tubing event 7/20 more to follow
Folsom F3 fathers/ 2.0s on July 20 at 7:00 ( yes … that time is correct according to Mayor)

We next name the FNG …. takes a few minutes which surprised me … I tried not to influence the pax but when David mentions his dad (Dirt) and mentions for second time being in school in Idaho…..
I ask all what comes from the dirt or is grown in the dirt ? Finally someone calls “mud!”…. I ask the pax one or 2 agree …. then “spud” is called out ….. in all fairness I ask all “mud?” Again only 2 agree so I now call out “spud “ and get a better response … so welcome Spud … son of Dirt!
