I had been a week behind and figured that at the workout on Tuesday.  I asked Ball Joint who had the Q Thursday and no one did, so I grabbed it.  I promptly asked for Spackle’s contact information.  I reached out to him and told the plan and he was in.

Disclaimer and Welcome

Warmup:  SSH x15 IC, Gravel Pickers x10 IC, MNC x 15 IC, LOR/ROL stretchy.

Thang:  Line up per Spackle directive in two lines.  Start off to the drill and get into a cadence run up to the flag.  It wasn’t as pretty as the pros, but man it was awesome to hear him call out the cadence and the men running to it.  Run to the flag, grab the pledge and hit 22 for the vets.  That was awesome do as I call the down part and heard the echo of the count.

Mosey to the parking lot for two rounds of 11s.  Squats/Merkins & CDDs/Lunges

Lineup for drill to move us back to the parking lot.  Much better this time.  Great to work with these guys as one.

Go to tennis courts for some Veterans Day trivia.  Wrong answers had some number of burpees and correct ones did too.
Questions:  Does Veterans Day have an apostrophe (no). What was it originally called (Armistice Day). Due to government mishaps, it was moved and celebrated in this month until correct (October).  Who signed the bill making it Veterans Day (Dwight. D “Ike” Eisenhower).  What branches of service fought in WWII (USMC, ARMY, NAVY – Air Force was formed after and was the Army Air Corp).

Finish with a round of 4 corners doing SSH, Mountain Climbers, Merkins, Squats.

Time and Done.

Prayers: Achy Breaky (M and BABY!), Sister Act, Big Pappy, Purple Haze and the young lady in his church, VETERANS!!!!

Announcements:  Christmas Party, Care packages packed this Saturday and distributed the following Friday at Salvation Army (3:00), Rudolphs Final Q this Saturday at Gashouse.
