Conspiracy theories and 6-second squats

Another beautiful morning at The Ricky Bobby started out right at 0530. Orangeman and Watts Up were ready to go as I planted the shovel flag. No disclaimer for this group of seasoned veterans (and no time for chit chat). We went straight into the traditional side-straddle hops. Then out of the shadows emerged someone vaguely familiar from the distant past, none other than Buckshot, who joined in like he hasn’t missed a single post in the last 6 months.  We finished the warmup with imperial walkers, merkins and Nolan Ryans (each 10xIC).  Started to mosey towards New Hope Road as J2C pulled into the parking lot – 30 seconds later and he woulda never found us! After dodging New Hope traffic like a real-life game of Frogger in the gloomy darkness, we made it to the parking lot of the Presbyterian church for some classic BLIMPS – “rack’em-stack’em” style from one end of the parking lot to the other.
B = 5 Burpees (even though Watts Up claimed that there are other exercises that start with B)
L = 10 Lunges single count
I = 15 Imperial walkers single count
M = 20 Merkins
P = 25 Plank jacks
S = 30 Squats

At the end of this, Buckshot delivered a silent 10-count (it was as weird as it sounds) while Orangeman mused about 6-second squats. So, we did a few of those 6-second squats (5 in cadence). Then I broke the unfortunate news that our BLIMPS were stacked in the wrong place, so we reversed everything and re-stacked while enjoying some good mumblechatter about the kooky things Watts Up listens to during his long drives to and from Aiken.  With everything re-stacked there were 3 minutes left, just enough time to mosey back to the flag for Pledge and COT.

Prayers:  Radar’s sister, Virus’s 2.0, Orangeman’s cousin Mark Wilson.

This morning was tough but we fought through it together, and I’m glad to be able to start out the day with these HIM’s.
