No Q – No PAX – No Problem

Pulling in to Old School @ 0655 and no one, nothing, nada dang soul. If this sounds familiar it is. You know if you scared say so we can stay on this side of the tracks.I’ll protect you if we happen to go down to the D-Blok I grew up there it’s not as bad as everyone thinks. Any ways I’m checking my notifications and see a problem has occurred most of my Old School Originals have the Q somewhere else and The Q is posting somewhere else as well. No problem I’ve been here before. No warmup needed as I’m already fuming and my blood is pumping so I mosey on down to Carr School for some ladder work on the ol playground and jungle gym.

Work was as follows

1-Pull-up, 2-Merkins, 3-Squats

2-Pull-ups, 4-Merkins, 6-Squats

3-Pull-ups, 6-Merkins, 9-Squats

4-Pull-ups, 8-Merkins, 12-Squats

5-Pull-ups, 10-Merkins, 15-Squats

@400 meter run from playground down around the track at the ball fields

10 calf raises on each step leading out of ball fields 13 steps total

Rinse Repeat for a total of 4 Rounds

Mosey back to park

1 man COT headed out to refuel the machine.

I’m hoping that this doesn’t keep becoming a regular occurrence here at Old School. A lot of you guys have never come out to this AO or any others besides where you joined F3 as far as that goes. There are a lot of you guys that I’ve met by traveling to other AO’s outside of my local community but I’ve never seen you on our side of the county unless it was at a convergence. There are other sites besides the ones you’re attending or you’re comfortable visiting. Get out meet new friends see new faces and places and create new bonds.

As we’re putting up the blocks I see we’ve got a few minutes left and by the time we gather back up for the COT it’s down to a minute. As I said before I’ve got a bat flipper for a partner and quite a few more out here this morning as well. I don’t want to be one to disappoint so we finished with a minute of Burpees.

TIME

COT, PLEDGE, and PRAYERS

Men We all crammed a lot of work into this 45min. workout great job thanks for the push and all the hard work this morning men.

Lastly this morning but most importantly this morning men it’s Good Friday. This is the most important day in human history in my opinion. What would our lives as Christian Men look like if Jesus said no he will not drink of this cup. He would not lay down his life for ours. What would life as we know it look like. I’m so thankful that this is not the case. I’m so thankful that he sacrificed his life so that I can have eternal life with Him in heaven. Remember men The Easter Season & Story doesn’t end on Resurrection Sunday this is just the beginning.

Wanted: Dead or Alive

7 HIM’s and 2 ruckers got a strong start to the week at the Sandlot.  Warm up was side-straddle hops, toy soldiers, hillbilly walkers, and Nolan Ryans in cadence. Whoopee departed to ruck with Hush Puppy while bootcampers moseyed to the park gate for 10 each: hand-release merkins (which prompted immediate groans from the PAX), Bobby Hurleys (another unpopular choice) and American Hammers (not so bad I guess after the first two).  After a short mosey to the walking path at the edge of the parking lot, The Thang was do an exercise until the first PAX reached 25 reps.  Then, mosey to the flag at the middle of the softball fields and back.  Rinse and repeat with another exercise.  We started with hand-release merkins, Bobby Hurleys, and American Hammers, then moved on to PAX choices consisting of shoulder taps, flutter kicks, overhead claps, and other stuff.  After a full round of everyone having a pick, we moved to the bleachers for a second round.  Between exercises (derkins, dips, mountain climbers, lunges, seal jacks) we moved out to the path and back various ways including carioca, high knees, butt kickers, and nur.  Mumblechatter was strong as PAX engaged in some karaoke during the carioca.  I never dreamed I’d have the pleasure of hearing Bedpan belt out “Islands in the Stream.”  With 6 minutes to go, we moseyed back to Pelicans, running into Whoopee and Hush Puppy at the gate and pausing for 5 burpees.  Back at the flag, we circled up for 3 minutes of Mary (starting with a long round of flutter kicks while Hush Puppy took his sweet time putting away his ruck). 

Announcements: 
May 21 CSAUP – look for preblast from Roscoe
May 30 (Memorial Day) will be 7:00 Murph at Sandlot in addition to regular 5:30 bootcamp

Prayers:
Praise for Bedpan’s 13th wedding anniversary, Folgers’ new job, and Nutria’s mom turning 75
Watts Up’s family

It was a privilege and a pleasure to lead.  I appreciate the company of the HIM’s who came out this morning.  We all got our money’s worth.  Aye!
