Pledge – PP was out of town on business.  Thanks for the flag BOS.

Seal Jacks IC

Hilly Billy Walkers IC

Eskimo Merkins up to 5

Mosey out the lower entrance and do 50 squats at each light pole.  I think there were 5 light poles for a total of 250.

Route 132 up the hill stoping at each light pole to do Merkins and Flutter Kicks.

The first PAX up the hill went over to the traffic circle so we Bear Crawled around the traffic circle.

Mosey to the traffic circle at the school for Ring Of Fire.  Five rounds of Merkins and five rounds of LBC’s.

Partner up for Declining Suicides.  Pax #1 runs to the school box office and back to meet PAX #2 who is Lung Walking to the box office.

Mosey to the flag for Mary.

Time.

Thanks for participating men!

 

Folsom 11/16 – The Weather Has Turned Cold

A cool icy chill rolled through Folsom this morning. There were no bugs, no birds, and (fortunately) no skunks….only 11 sweaty men who showed up to show out and put in some work. I wasn’t really watching the clock as I enjoyed some fellowship with my friends but Ball Joint, being the Site Q and all, reminded us that it was indeed 5:30 am and time to get to it so here we go.

Warmup:
Side Straddle Hops IC
Toy Soldiers IC
Don Qs IC
some EC stretching while we waited for Spackle

Let’s get it. Mosey to the flag at the entrance. A few of us made it there faster than others but that’s all good…Ball Joint and Wichita picked up the 6 and I led the other PAX in flutter kicks

Pledge. Short mosey back the gazebo area.

We’re going to run laps around the triangle road that is surrounding the gazebo. 10 Big Boys at the first corner, 20 Merkins in the second, 30 squats in the third. Rinse and repeat for 5 laps. Wichita and Spackle got in 6 because they are bat flippers!

Short mosey to the hill to the left of the spot where the road splits.

We borrowed from Rudolph’s farewell Q Saturday here – Jacobs Ladder – Run the hill 7 times. 1 burpee at the top after your first climb, 2 burpees at the top after your second climb, 3 burpees…you get where this is headed, finish with 7 burpees. Looks better on paper but the guys pushed through! Spackle gave us a 10 count to catch our breath.

Time is running short so let’s use this hill again – 7 more climbs but we’re bear crawling this time – 7 LBCs at the top each time.

2 minutes left on the clock so we mosey back to the parking lot. Time!

COT – Announcements: potential convergence to remember Chicken Little on 11/20 (see Slack for more updates and details), Christmas Party 12/11 (sign up, preblast should be sent soon), Christmastown 5k (Ball Joint and Bed Pan committed to joining me to push a chair. We want as many as we can get). Prayer Requests: Mayor’s M, Rockabilly’s family, Freight’s family, Chicken Little and family, Big Pappy & SA’s families, Haze’s friend on a heart transplant list, and Montross’s sister. I took us out in prayer.

It’s almost always a struggle to get up early in the morning (for me anyway) but I am always glad I did. Thanks for motivating me and I appreciate all of the guys that came out and posted with me this morning.
