Here We Go

I woke up at 5:06 am this morning. If I were posting normally, I’d begin frantically running around to get contacts in and into workout attire. But not this morning. I relieved myself and then crawled back in the fartsack. Only today, the fartsack would eventually be defeated. I slept another half hour before I began morning duties of walking our dog and getting her fed. I had plenty of time that I arrived at the newest AO in our region located in McAdenville. JJ and Flintstone were already in the parking lot, Flintstone having completed some EC in the form of his new EC “Thunder” workout. The cavalcade of vehicles began rolling into the lot. It was time to go. A brief disclaimer opened, and some light chatter ensued.

Warm-up:

Imperial Walkers IC x 11, Toy Soldiers IC x 10, the Patented Right over Left IC followed by the Patented Left over Right IC (apparently, I don’t count the cadence correctly), Arrows IC x 10, SSH IC x 10

Thang: stay in the circle, we’re doing Mary first b/c the former Nantan requested a core workout since he is limited by a bum elbow. We did all of these exercises for 30 seconds each w/ no rest between.

• Reverse Crunch
• American Hammer
• Raised Penguin Crunch
• Turtle Crunch
• Legs at 90 degrees, Alt Toe Touch
• Bear – R hand to L knee
• Bear – L hand to R knee
• Burps
• Genie Crunch: elbow to knee
• Genie Crunch: knee to elbow
• Heels 2 Heaven
• Crunchy Frog
• Hollow Hold
• Ski Abs

The offer was made to remain in the parking lot and do 4 more sets of that – the PAX quickly opted for a mosey. We exited the parking lot and played frogger to move up Main Street. Thankfully no PAX were harmed in the travel. Once passed Terra Mia and the salon, we nestled into the small lot between buildings. Ready for the Stack and Run? Sure you are…goes like this. 50 single count SSH’s run down Poplar Street (the back street) hang a left and another left to circle back up Main Street to our spot. Follow this routine stacking the exercises after each lap:

• 50 SSH, lap
• 50 SSH, 40 LBCs, lap
• 50 SSH, 40 LBCs, 30 jump squats, lap
• 50 SSH, 40 LBCs, 30 jump squats, 20 HR Merkins, lap
• 50 SSH, 40 LBCs, 30 jump squats, 20 HR Merkins, 10 Burpees, lap

This is where time was running low. The Q’s M had scheduled an 8 am vet appointment for our sick dog so I had to cut this short a bit. Hustle back to the base.

COT: Annihilation at the Yank tomorrow w/ Boudin, FIA starting in Belmont – tell your M, July 4th at the Yank 7-8 am workout followed by reading the Declaration of Independence. Prayers: Orangeman asked for prayers for the Grant family and shared praise for his daughter and family relocating to Gastonia. Next Q’s for Snooze will be Tesla on 6/9 and Radar 6/16, and Oompa on 6/30 (open is 6/23).

Debrief with Flintstone, we may relocate where we meet in McAdenville. Navigating the 3 point intersection could be problematic so moving up Main Street could alleviate that and still leave plenty of room to explore at this new AO. We had 7 guys double post having suffered through Breaker’s Q at Tequila Sunrise. A handful of guys walked to the coffee shop for 2nd F. Hopefully one of your summer Fridays allows you to hit the snooze button and still get to a workout.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
