Month: August 2019 (Page 3 of 10)

Not as in the last, last but last Monday.   A strong turnout to start the week and the last week before the crumb snatchers return to school.   All led to a joyous occasion, where Gastone and Whoopee, unaware of who had the Q jumped at the chance.   YHC had it covered and was quick to say thanks, but no thanks.

Let’s mosey

Headed down Riverwood, stopping at a few lights for 20 squats OYO

Stop at the doctor’s office, broad jump to the first light, mosey back for 20 big boy sits ups

Rinse and Repeat x3

Mosey down into the neighborhood heading towards the back entrance to the park.   One of the Einsteiners in the bunch mentioned jumping in the pool.   At this point, the pax was already wet, so it sounded like a promising idea.   Omaha’d towards the pool, thinking this could be good or bad.   YHC woke up from his neverland dream and proceeded out the lot back down the road.  Stopping at the trail entrance for 10 quick burpees.

Lunge walk down the trial into the darkness.   Proceeded about 30 yards before omahing into a mosey.

Into the park down to the fork in the path.  10 more burpees

Mosey to the play ground for a modified cindy.  10 pull ups, 20 merkins, 30 squats

Rinse and repeat x5

Mosey out the back side, up the trail and to the club house or concession area at the fields

Pair up for some Dora

Partner A runs around the field while Partner B performs exercise

100 derkins, 200 American Hammers, 300 flutter kicks

Some groups made it, was running short on time so called it.

Mosey back to the start.  TIME

A number of announcements

Labor Day murph at the park 7:00 sharp.   Neverland will be closed at 5:30

Some great work put in by all.   YHC appreciates the push more than you would know.  Thanks for the opportunity.  Always a honor to Q.

Well gents,

It’s been a great summer and we have had a lot of fun at these workouts.  Today was filled with a lot of fun moments and finished us up right.  The first was when Sargento and Edison showed up without the 2.0s and joined us.  Edison got back in the car, I heard to go get his kids, but we never saw him again.  The Yank was also visited by a guy new to the area named RaRa, who appeared to have a great time and was always smiling.

It looked like rain was on the horizon, but we had a good turnout despite it.  Time started and Doodles move us to the concrete pad for the warmup.  After a few exercises to get loose, he donned the half pipe. Dads would count off as ones and twos and ones would go up the grass hill while the twos would do and exercise.  When ones would return, the twos would go to the stairs.  Dads would switch and hit the stairs and grass every other turn.  It didn’t take long for mumble chatter out of the 2.0s.  Then Doodles moved us up to the top of the track and split us up and half the group ran one direction and the others ran opposite.  That took us to Norwood.

Norwood had set up some baseballs. The first thing was dads would tag the 2.0s (they were supposed to stay within the baseballs – that didn’t happen).  Once tagged, kids did an exercise.  After all kids were tagged, switch and the kids tag the dads.  We did a handful of rounds.  Then it was relay time.  A dad bear crawls to the bats (25 yards away) with a kid on their back and runs back after getting to the bat.  Next relay was the dizzy bat race where you ran to the bats and spun five times and ran back.  I AM GLAD THERE IS NO FOOTAGE OF THIS. YHC got laid out around spin three.  Four and five were tough and I couldn’t make a straight line back to the group.  The same could be said for Sister Act and Roscoe.

Sister Act had something in mind to show the 2.0s what we really do.  He decided to run a triple nickel with burpees up top and then bear crawl around the fountain (quickly omahad to Bobby Hurleys at the back of the fountain.  Funny thing heard was when his 2.0s said their hands hurt during the bear crawl, SA promptly replied “well I have gloves on”.

That wrapped it up and we named an FNG and closed it out and had some Gatorade and fig bars.

I want to thank all of the dads for coming out this summer to support and especially the dads who took the leads.

Warm up.

So YHC had the bright idea of running 10 miles and then Q Gashouse. Nope, won’t do that again… Here’s what happened.

Warm-Up

Something else…

Mosey to the front of the Schiele to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

The Thang

Next, the 11 PAX would perform the Bataan Death March heading in a southeasterly direction down the road. Last man in line drops for 5 burpees then makes his way to the front of the line.

By the time YHC stopped the group we were in front of the old orthopedic hospital on New Hope. Conveniently there was a nice hill beside the sidewalk, a perfect opportunity to do the Bernie Sanders. Nur up the hill. Makes a lot of sense just like Bernie’s ideas. Some past weasel shakers disapproved of this exercise noting that the grass was still damp and a little too high. This was the first sandy V sighting.

At the top of the hill we did the Butkus which is 60 seconds of steps ups onto the curb. It wasn’t very hard so we did two more rounds of it just to make sure we got our fill. Confirmed, this exercise doesn’t need to be done again.

Next the PAX got to enjoy the thrill of 11’s. On one side of the parking lot do Hand Release Merkins, on the other side do Tiger Squats, making sure your butt touches the curb. The problem with said curb is that it’s a little short and on a decline which made this already tough exercise even harder. You’re welcome.

Fellowship mosey down the way a bit to the parking lot cul-de-sac. Here we paired up and did the Dora 123. Partner one ran to the bottom and back while numero dos did the exercise. 100 WW1 situps, 200 CDDs, 300 LBCs. Fun.

Mosey back to the Schiele, of course doing the Bataan Death March back. We stopped in Parkwood’s lot to let the 6 catch up. While waiting we started Bring Sally Up. It’s fun too. Keep moseying.

Once we got back we did some stuff I don’t remember because I’ve waited a week to do the BB. My bad.

Thank you men for allowing me to Q, also to site Q Linus for asking. Next time I’ll bring the heat!!!

YHC was told on Tuesday that Thursday may be a small turn out due to T200 meeting happening that evening.  Turnout was small, but two HIMs (Medicine Woman and Tater Hole) posted anyway.  Nice job men! YHC moving a little slow (slower than normal) due to some back pain, caused an Omaha of the planned weinke.

Warm up: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Cotton pickers, all IC 10X.  Tater Hole coming in hot, nightclubs until he joins.

Short mosey to parking lot with island for partner Dora, 100 merkins, 200 squat, 300 LBC. Partner does lap around the island.  Mosey to big soccer field for five corner escalators around the filed.  10 merkins, next corner for 10 merkins and 20 squats, next corner for merkins, squats, and 30 LBC.  Next corner all that plus 40 SSH.  Finally, all previous and 50 American Hammers.  Nice work.

Mosey to turd shack for one of YHC favorites, suspension merkins, these are really difficult, great ab exercise.  Feet about one foot high on wall and do merkins.  Really have to engage the core to stay on the wall.  Start at one end and PAX run a lap.

Mosey back toward flag, but stop off at one of the fields for 10 step ups each leg, 10 dips, 10 derkins, run a lap around the island.  Rinse repeat for 15.  Back to flag for Mary.  Blart calls Nolan Ryans. YHC happened to think that two HIMs had the meeting that everyone else used as  a “reason” to no show, so we did pledge and called time.

YHC reminded of Psalm 46:1 “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of need”
