Manslaughter Bunnies

Slack (our communication platform thing) is great. I mean, how else can you put out a message to a big pile of boneheads that makes you accountable for what seemed like a good idea at some point in time and entices other boneheads to respond and then also be accountable for emotional comments and responses? Ever since my Q vs Q loss, I have been looking forward to leading a workout and really trying to push myself a bit harder. There really is no better way to do this than to sign up to Q a workout AND poke some of the guys in Folsom to see if they will show. I tried poking the guy with the pretty hair and low rent jewelry from last year but no luck-he likely was working so he gets a pass. Either way, the motivation to bring some pain was there and fortunately a few HIMs made the trip from Folsom-thanks Westside, Balljoint, and Gearwrench. Last night was like many nights during the first few years of F3Gashouse-I went to bed sort of early but could not fall asleep because I was excited about the workout in the morning (hope I am not the only one that does this???!!!)…..once I fell asleep multiple things woke me during the night……dog needed to pee at 1 am, dog needed water at 120 am, wife got up to check on dog at 130 am, heartburn hit me at 215 am (but the sausage/pepperoni/pasta thing was sooooo good last night and worth it), cat wanted to hang out at around 3 am, heartburn still bothering me at 330 am, alarm went off at 430 am. Aaaawwwww heck, I told Maybelline I would go for some EC by mistake (thought I was responding to Balljoint’s HC for this am but responded to Maybelline’s EC call-old man technology fail) so I gotta get up. I got rolling and made it through the rain on time and went for a partial EC with Maybelline-wanted to walk around the AO and finalize a few things so I did partial EC with him then broke off early for some strategery and planning. Then the PAX arrived and we got started.

Pledge, Warmup, Disclaimer then we were off. We moseyed over to the basketball court-be careful and get over that wire/chain from the parking lot. Gonna start with 4 corners: stack the exercises with 5 burpees first corner, repeat at corner 2 and add 10 Mike Tysons (where were you Sister Act???!!!), repeat at corner 3 and add 15 Big Boys, repeat at corner 4 and add 40 SSA. Keep rolling……mosey to the parking lot for Suicides: cones set up at 4-5 spaces apart: Merkin at the start, 5 Bonnie Blairs at each cone-think there were 5 cones. Next we did some Donkey Kicks on the wall-was not tall enough for hip slappers in that area and didn’t want to muddy up the wall where there was room, that’s ok. Donkey Kicks are good enough at this point. Mosey back to basketball court for some new exercises: Bearby (not Bobby) Hurleys: start on the baseline under the basket, bear crawl to foul line, 5 Bobby Hurleys, bear crawl back. Repeat out to the 3 point line for 5 more Bobby Hurleys then bear crawl back. There was some chatter about some dude named Tesla but I can’t remember what it was. I was focused on the next (new) exercise. Remember those Murder Bunnies? Well I wanted something like that but no blocks around so we went with something not quite as bad……or was it? Manslaughter Bunnies-Same thing but no block. It’s basically a bear crawl with both hands moving forward at the same time. In my opinion, that sucked big balls. Murder Bunnies suck too, but at least you don’t have to bend over as far which, at almost 53 years old, has gotten harder to do lately. We did this all the way across the court-seemed like at least 3 miles of Manslaughter Bunnies but it was really likely not more that 2 miles…..enough of that BS, mosey back to the parking lot (again, make sure to step over that cable thing). Next was 11’s with Big Boys and Merkins. Balljoint then asked “What are we doing in the middle?” so we added a burpee every time you cross center line. I was out of tricks and had used up my Weinke so we did another 4 corners in the big parking lot with jump squats X 10, heels to heaven X 10, diamond merkins X 10, and LBCs X 40. Is it time yet???? NOPE, keep moving-back to end of lot for suicides with 5 squats at each cone every time you pass coming and going with a burpee and 5 SSH every time at the start. This finally got us to time and we called it quits.

COT with prayers and praises-Westside with some good news about a friend at church going thru some $hit but making progress with improvement. Having gone thru some different $hit in the past, I mentioned that it really helps the person going thru that $hit when someone lets you know they are praying for you (which Westside is doing and has told his friend this as well). I don’t always remember this so it was a good reminder for me-having someone pray for you and telling you they are doing it definitely gives you a little more motivation. Try to keep this in mind because I can tell you from personal experience, this is a big deal.

Thanks again for posting this am-Whoopee
