Month: July 2022 (Page 9 of 12)

I roll up at 5:25 and who do I see first?  GSM is on time, then rolls in Whatts Up, then 5:30 hits and all of the other Yahoos roll up. I guess Mondays are tuff for some of these ladies.

We get in some stretching to give these girls some time to get out of their cars. Nutria and I are on IR, so we ain’t running this morning. I send the girls to Martha’s house and instruct them to run around the baseball fields while Nutira and I ruck to the top of the parking lot. We get our work circuit set-up and then the girls arrive.  Throw on some Def Leppard/80’s rock and the crowd goes wild. Our  consists of squats w/kettle, Merkins, crunches, BURPEES, shadow boxing, butterflies, overhead presses, plank jacks, jump rope, reverse crunches, lbc’s, and bear crawl around the circuit.

Work for 50 seconds, take 10 seconds to transition to the next exercise. Once everyone completes the full circuit, then run to the bottom of the parking lot and back. Take a 1 minute rest and get back to the circuit. We were able to complete (2) circuits and (2) runs before time was up. Meet back at Pelicans and we have time for some Mary.

Good work men! Thank God for waking up this morning.

3 HIM showed for not only their own improvement but also to learn about how to improve oneself through helping their fellow man (Q source on Targeting).  One ran, one rucked and one showed for Q source discussion.  All  were enriched by each other’s presence.

This was Tippmann’s VQ.  It was awesome.  You should have been there.

They rucked, but not only did they ruck, they did other stuff too.

We rucked to the end of Plantation Trail, did some merkins, and came back.

Me and Oompa Loompa showed to know. We did work around Martha and did more work along the way. Great work! Great mumblechatter!
Prayers out to Broke’s M, Turtleman and all of those facing adversities.

YHC took us out.

Thanks to Captain Stubbing for not making it all “Covenant Village” today at the bootcamp.

Since taking over as site Q at The Fighting Yank I’ve decided to up my Qing. Some times by necessity and others are planned. This one was sort of planned. I’ve enjoyed going to Midoriyama so when I played ultimate frisbee for the first time I knew we could do it at the Yank.

We warmed up but with no written weinke I don’t remember what we did.

The Bunker stayed with Tiger and the boot campers took off.

On our mosey I noticed we had an uneven amount of guys, but Wojo brought his cleats and is a pro, so his team was going to be down one.

Stop at a hill for some hill work. Stop at each light poll do 5 HR merkins, run back to the crosswalk for 5 CDDs. Repeat until I say stop, about 6 polls.

Mosey to the track for our game. We used Pilgrims Progress’ disk and he helped set up our end zones. After a few falls, bumps and fouls the game was over. Def Leopards team lost even though he wasn’t there. Brutus was the MVP on offense and defense.

Back to the flag for the pledge of allegiance.

Announcements:
Convergence next Saturday at 0700, Folsom. The Yank and Bunker are closed.
