9 HIM decided to post in the afternoon humid gloom at Midoriyama.  I was actually on the fence about  posting – I felt a hard afternoon fartsack coming on,  but when HIPAA found out he could not Q this afternoon and reached out for a substitute I decided to take it to force myself to post.

Cotton Pickers – 10 IC

Mosey to parking lot in the gloom between Oakland St and the farmers’ market.  There were eight exercises listed in some parking spots.  While one PAX would run around the block the others would do the exercise listed in their spot.  We managed to get through all the exercises:

Mosey back to the school with just a minute or so left so we planked for a quick stretch.  At this point I called out, “Right arm to right leg!”  ???  Modify as necessary!

Typically our friend from Florida comes out like Santa bringing gifts of randomness and off the wall Q’s. Well he must have gotton pretty Hammered at the Ole Rusty Rabbit in Dallas and left his Weinke and music at my house. I subbed earlier this week so why not one more.

While waiting on 630 we get talking about everything as usual and I hear something about Volt has a belly Button Ring. Come again.. Nothing much was said at that point and it was time to get Werkin.

Warm Up: SSH, MTN Climbers, Nolan Ryans, and Monkey Humpers.
Typical Fl. Man He left a camo fanny pack with a deck of death cards weinke and a skull Ring. I ask Volt if he wanted to wear the ring and he let me know he already had a ring.

The thang:
stage for keg stands, lbc’s and dips. 5xeach
Total Recall: probably normal in Florida we call this a triple Nickel, Fl Man wrote down Triple Nipple. MErkins.

Tennis Courts for some gator chasin.
How do you run from a gator? Zig Zag of course. pax sprints to minnow bucket then pax#2 begins the chase. But Pax one must zig zag until the end. Loser does 5 burpees.

Florida Mans Luggage.
One large box of Random heaviness will be carried by two pax to the end of the court and back. Remainder of pax do exercise

Announcements Convergence coming up at Downtown location.
Prayer request each other our country and our brothers in need.

Small crowd but we remembered 9/11 with Twin Towers workout. Pain Stations in shape of N and S Towers. Battleropes, Slam balls, KB  exercises, merkins, burpees, man makers and lots of forearm work. Plank silently to those that lost their lives.

Good crowd gathered on a beautiful Saturday morning.  Boudin has the Bunker ready to go.  0730 hits.  Start with the mission of F3, to plant grow and serve small workout groups for me, for the purpose of invigorating male community leadership.  Warmup of SSH and cotton pickers, 15x IC.  10 burpees and some stretching.

Boot camp heads up Main St to the old Sacred Heart campus tennis courts.  YHC took the liberty of dropping some block earlier in the morning.  Grab a block and head to the court.  YHC calls curls, squats, shoulder press, chest press all 25x and 10 blockees.  After completing, rifle carry the block to other end and back (six tennis courts).  Do four rounds.  After 4, a little time left so start a fifth.

Few minutes remain so we head back to the Yank and meet up with the bunker boys.  Pledge.

YHC reminded of 1st F initiative to Go the Extra Mile.  Lots of chance for EC or other ways to step up the intensity.  Make it your norm to do a little more.  Remember that the workouts aren’t only workouts, they represent a whole lot more.  The goal is to help men be better men, physically, emotionally, spiritually.

Announcements:  JJ5k, Convergence Oct 2 downtown, extinction run Nov 6, trying to have blood drive Nov 10 but need a venue, Christmas town 5k, service items (lance crackers fruit cups applesauce).

11 HIM made their way on a rainy Thursday at The Pub. The night before, YHC chose to take us on a seldom used route of late, one that conjures inappropriate, but no less funny jokes from many of the PAX. Pamela never disappoints, so that’s where we went. It was fun, even with the big hill on Gardner Park road. All arrived safe and sound at the end.

Announcements: JJ5K, Convergence, other stuff

Prayer requests: Roscoe’s father in law, Cougar’s grandmother, BOS’s sister in law, our nation

YHC took us out in prayer. Thank you all for the opportunity to lead. AYE!

So the time has come to pass the torch to a new Site Q at Folsom! As I was thinking through all the Pax about who would a good Site Q I realized anyone of these HIM’s would do a great job, so the decision was pretty tough but one HIM can’t standing out in my mind. It was Ball Joint. This HIM showed up for his first beatdown with a determination and willingness to push the rock and serve. I asked Ball Joint back in July if he would be interested in taking over at Folsom in September and he said he would. So we set the date for Sept. 11th not knowing Ball Joint would be hot and heavy in the middle of his first 1/2 marathon training, so we planned to split up the beatdown. I’d take the first half while him and Sparky ran 11 miles then they would be back at Folsom at 6:30 and he would take over. It all worked out as planned and Ball Joint is officially the new Folsom Site Q. It was truly an honor and pleasure being Site Q of the greatest AO on the planet! Couldn’t have done it without all you HIM’s!

As for the beatdown, trust me when I say it was epic! We honored all those who died and were affected in the attacks on 9/11/2001!

Wichita out and on to the next one!

OK, so here is my attempt at a pre blast. Some of you are aware of the Chad1000X workout. It is a Hero WOD dedicated to Chad Wilkinson. He was a Navy SEAL who took his life on October 29, 2018 due to effects of damage to his brain sustained while performing his duties as a SEAL. The goal is to bring awareness to the epidemic of veteran suicide and also to help be part of the solution through support of the Navy SEAL Foundation and other veteran health initiatives. GoRuck and Jocko are sponsors of this national event scheduled for Veterans’ Day this year.

The workout is 1000 step ups completed with 45# ruck using a 20 inch box for the step ups. Do this as fast as you can and lowest time gets to take the trophy home. I have scoped out a few AOs, and it looks like the Bulldog has the best site. There are 21 benches that are approximately 20 inches (disclaimer***I have not measured). I will assume you are being honest if you do this on your own, but would love to see a few guys join me on Thursday, November 11 at Bess Elementary School (Bulldog AO) at probably 5 am start time. If enough are there, I’ll supply a few coolers with water and gatorade. I will need a head count beforehand if anyone will be joining me.

HERE IS THE GOOD PART: For a nominal fee (you pick the $$ amount) you can be entered into a competition with me. If you have the winning time, I will donate $1000.00 to the Chad1000X fundraiser in your name (along with all the $$ from donations).  You have almost 2 months to train. If you cannot make it that day, feel free to do the workout another day, send me your time along with your $$ donation anytime before end of day November 11. I’ll be happy to take random donations also but would rather have you join me.

thanks.

Whoopee
