I knew I wouldn’t want to post this am. I knew I was going to be tired and blah blah blah so I sent Maybelline a request to give me the Q. His response was to give me the Q but raise me some EC….OK, I’m in. Step ups started at 0500-ish then the PAX started rolling in. Roscoe was there early also with some rucking before Maybelline and I even started the EC.

Pledge, WU, then start into it with 8 corners: just like 4 corners but more. Initial plan was to stack the exercises however that changed quickly. 5 burpees at C1, same plus 10 Mike Tysons at C2, same plus 15 Big Boys at C3, and same plus 40 SSH at C4. Somewhere along the line I realized this was not going to end well. In retrospect, everyone was really quiet while we did the first few exercises. I think everyone (except me) realized this was going to suck big donkey balls. We Omaha’d for the rest. The next round of corners was 25 Merkins that went down in number by 5 for each corner plus 30 squats then 35 imperial walkers, then a bunch of flutter kicks at the other corners.

Mosey to the bank parking lot for hops on the short side and lunges on the long sides of the lot. Before we started, Amazon noticed a flat mouse by the dumpster that was probably a few days old, likely crushed by a trash truck. We finished this then moseyed around to the cameras at the drive thru bank area for some wall sits, dirty hookups, and hip slappers. There may have been an exercise that resembled “balls in your camera face” at one point, but I couldn’t say for sure.

Next we moseyed to the Planet Fitness parking lot. Quick question for Tricycle: lines or cars? Thankfully he chose cars. We did suicides in the lot down each lane with each of the cars on that specific lane. I don’t remember what we did but it was a good combination of constant motion, moderate but consistent work, and good advertising for the dues-paying Planet Fitness peeps who came out while we were pushing rocks.

I think we moseyed back to start and finished with squats until Roscoe came back. The initial plan was continue until Roscoe said something but Defib ruined everything……#shouldhavebeenthere

We finished with COT then Tricycle took us out.

I have learned over the last 25 years of being at F3 in GasHouse (yes, 25 years!!!!) that the best way to make sure I post is to put something out on Slack that I will be there-whether that is being the Q or just that I’ll meet someone at a particular AO. I’ve realized I can let myself down, but I’ll do just about anything to avoid letting one of you down. Maybe it’s because I don’t want to hear guys like Freight give me a hard time about not doing what I said or maybe I just don’t want to get “that look” from one of my Shieldlock guys, or maybe I just don’t want to have an F3 brother think I am not there for him. All I know is this works and I appreciate each one of you….well, maybe some more than others and most of the time Freight. Thanks for keeping this thing going in GasHouse.

Whoopee
