Nice spring day at the premier afternoon AO with 12 strong Pax, Great to see the Mayor out after a recent shoulder surgery getting some steps in. Pledge.

Warmup: SSH, Low Slow Squats, MNC’s, Hillbillies, some stretches and 5 merkins.

Mosey to the small soccer field for the Thang.

Partner up and run in opposite directions around the field. When you meet, P1 does Squat holds while P2 does 5 burpees. Run again in opposite directions until you meet then P1 does the 5 burpees while P2 does the Squat holds. Repeat until each partner has done 25 burpees. Round 2 is Plank and Merkins x 10 up to 50 Merkins. Round 3, yes Round 3 is 6″ leg holds and LBC’s x 10 up to 50 LBC’s each. The bat flippers were rolling but the rest of us got there eventually.

Mosey over to the bleachers for Stationary 11’s. Step Ups x 10, 1 dip. 9 step ups, 2 dips, etc. down to 1 step up and 10 dips.

Mosey back to the flag for some Mary. I made Assshhh Pond stop at only 15 American Hammers. Pockets called Crunchy Frogs. Defib called Flutter Kicks. Broke called Big Boys and time is up.

I read a few quotes from famed duck hunter and Christian speaker Phil Robertson. One of my favorites is as follows: “I hope that people just do two things: Love God and love their neighbor. I don’t think there’s a down side to it.”

Announcements: 5K Friday at 6:30 at Common Ground

Prayer Requests: Huck, Turtle Man, Ratchet’s Son, Virus’ Daughter, Blart’s Mother-in-law, Happy Tree’s Mother-in-law, Speed For Need in theft of their trailer, Defib’s daughter, Sargento.
Blart took us out.

The usual suspects leading the way today. There are always some bat flippers pushing the pace at Midoriyama. They know who they are. Happy Trees is getting better each time and keeps showing up. Me and Oompa had time to discuss our various injuries. Pockets ran almost 4 miles EC before the workout. Wikileaks will soon be 19. Mayor’s surgery seems to be a success but he is not a fan of the surgical tape. Thanks to everyone who came out today.
