Month: March 2020 (Page 9 of 9)

Yet again this week, they are calling for rain of some sort late Monday thru sometime Thursday. So lets get some work in while its dry-ish.

YHC rolled right behind Dry Rub to find 3 out for EC and Gastone sitting in his truck. Seeing there was at least a few minutes, YHC pried a reluctant Gastone out of his truck for a quick mosey to the maintenance shack and back. Upon our arrival back, 2 were back from EC and more were arriving.

When 0530 hit, 7 were assembled to join YHC.

Since there was no FNG, a short/simple disclaimer was given followed by The Pledge.

Warmup:
10 SSH IC
5 Burpees

The Work:
Lets mosey heading down Riverwood Pkwy.

We stopped at every 3rd light long enough to do 15-20 monkey humpers, concluding with 25 toward Union Rd.

Lets mosey over to the Food Lion.

Time for some 11’s between the arrows. HRM at one end and squats at the other. Oh, and do a burpee at the cart corral every trip.

Quick check of the time when we were done… 25 left, lets head to the wall near Arline’s.

Have a seat with arms over your head.

When JJ said go, we went up the hill to Union Rd and did 20 American Hammers and return to the wall.
When Dry Rub said go, we went up and did 20 Mtn Climbers and return.
When Dirt said go, we went up and did 20 Heels to Heaven (YHC had to overrule Dirt as he was taking too long) and return
YHC doesn’t remember who said go, but Gastone volunteered Crunchy Frogs at the top and return.

Quick check of the time… 15 left.

Lets mosey. We took a scenic tour of this parking lot, around all the light poles and lane marker to end up on the stairs for 25 calf raises.

From there, mosey on behind the soon to be Planet Fitness to use the ramp for some Bear Crawls, but just like last time, there are not just one, but two occupied cars parked back there. So continue on to the parking lot on the front side.

After a quick word about temptation (You can’t just “resist” temptation. In order to try to “resist”, you focus on the temptation. Whatever you focus on, persists in your brain and you will ultimately give in to it. For temptations, you must refocus your mind on something else. Refocus on God.), YHC called normal ole, high school suicides using the lines in the parking lot.

Once all were done, we meandered for a bit heading back toward the start. This ultimately turned into a mosey and stopped at the wall in front of the bank.
Here we did 20 dips – right leg up followed by 20 step-ups right leg only. Followed by 20 dips – left leg up followed by 20 step-ups left leg only.

During this activity, there was a Gump sighting. He had been looking for the SandLot crew for nearly 40 mins. He chose to mosey on instead of finishing up with us.

Looking at the time on the clock, we still have 4 whole minutes.

So a quick mosey to Martha’s entrance for 10 big boys and then everyone attempted to beat Gold Digger’s record on the way back to SnoBalls. YHC isn’t sure about the standings, but JJ gave it a good try.

And that is time.

Sometime between YHC arrival back to Snoballs and retrieving of my phone, Stroganoff appeared from the gloom having put in his work for the Mortimer with his pack on Gastone’s hill.

Prayer Requests:
JJ’s Dad

Dirt prayed us out.

Moleskin:
By God’s grace I have never had to battle anxiety, depression or addiction. I do not know what it is like. But know this. It is real, it hard, it can wear you down. But to all that do suffer, remember two things…
1. God is there with you through it all. Call out to Him.
2. We (your friends and family) are there for you. If you have a need, just reach out; to pray, to talk, to whatever.

Watts Up powering down.
