As this YHC first Q at this AO and with only a handful of postings, there wasn’t a whole lot of experience to draw on. Also, YHC has been trying to improve his cardio game, and there are some races upcoming, so wanted to try to cover some distance. Drawing inspiration from a recent Ricky Bobby, this is how it played out.

YHC arrived early and taped the weinke to the wall, much like Martin Luther did with his 95 theses.

0530 arrives to find 11 have joined YHC with 2 coming off of EC. None are FNGs. We knock out the Pledge and a minutely short disclaimer is given before we set on a mosey around the parking lot to end up at the school.

Alas, my weinke is no where to be found. So YHC heads back to the truck for the electronic version. Expecting to have 11 in tow, YHC was surprised to find only Dirt in attendance.

We complete the retrieval and return to find most of the PAX where they were left, while others were searching for the missing paperwork. Shout-out to Virus for locating the missing weinke, so now we can get started with school.

Here is the concept. Do the 1st grade work, mosey 1 row. Repeat 1st grade work and do 2nd, mosey 2 rows Repeat 1st & 2nd, do 3rd, mosey 3 rows. Repeat 1, 2 & 3, do 4, mosey 4 rows. Repeat all work for graduation and run entire parking lot. Once you graduate Elementary, wait on six and then repeat for middle, repeat for high, etc.

1st Grade – 2 Burpees
2nd Grade – 10 CDDs
3rd Grade – 15 Bobby Hurleys
4th Grade – 20 Crab Position Heel Touches
Elementary Graduatiom
5th Grade – 3 Burpees
6th Grade – 15 HRMs
7th Grade – 20 Step Ups (10 per Leg)
8th Grage – 25 Plank Position Knee Touches
Middle Graduation
9th Grade – 5 Burpees
10th Grade – 20 IWs
11th Grade – 25 Plank Jacks
12th Grade – 30 Squats
*Note: For the sake of time, all moseys in high school were 1 row.
Unfortunately we ran out of time and were not able to actually graduate, much less get into the college level work that was prepared. We did have time for Anchorman led Am. Hammers to close us out.

This morning’s verse comes from Philippians 2:4:
“do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.”
This is reminder we are to live 3rd. Always be looking to how we can be more like Christ and let people see Him through each of us.

Moleskin:
I really appreciate the encouragement and push from the PAX. I am trying to accelerate. I have been trying to get 3 miles in a 45 min bootcamp. While today was the closest yet, the carrot yet remains.

It was an honor to be given the opportunity to lead.

Watts Up powering down.
