Ten men stepped into the gloom to kickstart their week with a beatdown.  Whoopee and Dirt get props for getting in some IPX  EC before hand and came in just before we started.  Here is how ti went down.

A brief disclaimer was followed by a brief warmup of SSH, Merkins, and squats.

We then moseyed to Martha Rivers parking lot for a very long lunge walk down to the playground and then back up for a parking space burpee long jump fest the other way.  Somewhere around 40+ of those and then we moseyed back down to the playground area doing calf raises with any free time waiting for the six.

The Thang:   20 perfect form Merkins then a lap around one traffic island and back.

Then 10 Merkins and 20 squats and run two traffic islands and back

Then 10 merkins, 20 squats, 30 Mnt Climbers and three islands and back

Then 10 merkins, 20 squats, 20 mnt climbers, 20 Plank jacks and four islands and back

Then 10, 20, 20, 20 and 20 LBC’s and then four islands and back.  Then we moseyed to the closest picnic shelter for dips and step ups.  Two rounds of 20, each and then 10 each before moseying back to start.  We finished with the #pledgeofallegiance

The music was provided courtesy of John Petrucci’s new solo album “Terminal Velocity”.  Some were pining  George Strait and Clavin thought it was Yngwie Malmsteen but they were out of luck.  When you are the Q you get to choose the music.  The PAX may or may not have liked it but it was better than anything that Sargento would ever play.  #facts

We closed with some announcements (you know them) and some prayer requests for Dry Rub’s M on the loss of her grandmother and for a co-worker who passed away this weekend and for the Champion family on the loss of their father/grandfather.

Always remember what your principles are and what you stand for and don’t deviate from them.  Our character is what makes us who we are so we are reliable and know what to do in any given situation.  Thanks to Stinky Bird for asking me to Q.
