Folsom 9/3 picking up the slack

7 men gathered at Folsom this AM including a FNG. I only had alittle while to improvise this Q while trying to coach softball last night due to someone’s last min vacation Q bail out (Roundup 👎🏼).  We hit the 5 core principles and Disclaimer then set off.

Warmup

10 Gravel Picker IC

10 Moroccan night clubs

10 Burpees

Everyone knows we were gonna hit the hill for a hour with Roundup so we at least paid a visit and got a mile and a half on the hill. Triple Nickel from top to bottom.

Kotter at Midoriyama

I haven’t Q’d in a long while so Wojo needed a stand-in, I volunteered and developed the weinke and knew a few may be missing but 8 strong showed up for the old man Q. Slaw is on the IR but still brings us water and a flag and emotional support! Freight was likely celebrating his forty-somethingth birthday. Warm, muggy day at Midoriyama and I see a truck pull in I don’t recognize. Who gets out of this truck but the one and only ALLEN TATE! Yes, that Allen Tate! I haven’t seen him in a long while and he looks ready to werk! Always good to have a Kotter back in the fold. Let’s get to it.

Warmup – SSH, Don Q’s, Couple of Stretches since this was supposed to be a Wojo Q (no fire hydrants though), Imperial Walkers, Low Slow Squats, 5 burpees OYO.

Pledge

Mosey to small soccer field
Corner 1 – 10 perfect form (PF) merkins, (hand release w/shoulder taps at top)
Corner 2 – 20 American Hammers (count right side as one), repeat 10 PF merkins
Corner 3 – 30 Imperial Walkers (count ride side as one), 20 hammers, 10 PF Merkins
Corner 4 – 40 Flutter Kicks (count right side as one), 30 Imperial Walkers, 20 hammers, 10 PF Merkins

Corner 1 – 10 PF Merkins.

Mosey around the soccer field sidewalk to Dog Park Hill.
Triple Nickel: 5 LBC’s at bottom and 5 Low Slow Squats at top 5 times.

Mosey over to the soccer field line for some sprints/suicides.

Sprint about 50 feet to a line and sprint back when I say go. We did this 7 times. Broke left early once but Tonka was way ahead on most of these. Old geezer Oompa got pretty swift on at least one of these. After each sprint while we were catching our breath I would read a quote about kindness. Kindness is a great attribute to have especially when dealing with our families. Listen to each quote and think about where you are right now on a kindness scale and how you can improve.
1. Love is patient and kind. 1 Cor. 13:4
2. Less is more unless it’s kindness, sleep or toilet paper.
3. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:32
4. Kindness goes a long ways sometimes when it maybe should have stayed at home.
5. To err on the side of kindness is seldom an error.
6. Kindness is more than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.
7. “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Luke 23:34 The ultimate in kindness shown to us all!

Mosey back to the flag.

Hot Diggity, Dog Diggity

YHC with a second Q for the week, calling it Tabata Tuesday.

Pledge and warmup, and now for The Thang!

10 Minute Tabata: 45 sec of work, 15 sec of rest, 10 exercises, 3 rounds total, Pax choice of coupon or not.

Exercises called were halos, around the worlds, goblet squats, kettlebell swings, curls, chest press, triceps extension, bent rows, calf raises, and burpees.

After each tabata portion, a slow mosey around the lot with some Mary.

On the third tabata round, YHC offered an Omaha on the burpees. No time for a Lot Mosey, and time was called.

Announcements: CSAUP, Iron Pax sign ups, someone gained respect on the 24th (Tube, cough cough, Tube!!!)

Prayer requests: BOS and family, Tesla and Family, Courtney (Ball Joint’s friend)

YHC took us out.

It was an honor to lead. -Orangeman

Sandlot Manic Monday

After the pledge and a warmup, we moseyed to the park for The Thang. It went something like this…

Big Boys, hand release merkins, Freddy mercs, and diamond merkins at the entrance. Mosey some more to the back picnic shelter for the standard dips, derkins, and step ups. YHC found a nice long area for 11s with squats at one end and lunges (count one leg) at the other. Instead of just a mosey, Pax mixed it up with lunge walks, karaoke, high knees, etc. Another round of dips, derkins, and step ups were in order, then a painfully slow retreat back to the flag. There were some bear crawls and lunge walks interspersed with Pax called Mary. Flintstone gently nudged YHC with the time remaining, so a quick mosey finished us up.

Announcements: CSAUP relay, JJ 5K, Convergence… look ‘em up on Slack

Prayer requests: BOS and family, Tesla and family, EZ’s son, Simpson family, and Roscoe’s neighbor.

YHC took us out.

It was an honor to lead -Orangeman

P.S. be careful who you call for a 10 count (Roscoe). You may end up calling on another Pax who can count better.
