When Short Sale asked me to Q this weekend I knew that I had already committed to the annihilation on August 26th so I was not sure how much I would “bring” to today’s workout. With mumberchatter the night before referencing a possible FIA type workout the challenge was on.  This would be a “no joke” beatdown. YHC arrived 30 min early to do some recon.  This would take a little more planning than a quick Weincke.  After a jaunt around the neighborhood the plan was set – time to execute.  As the pax started to arrive the mumblechatter picked up.  Standard disclaimer given and secondary disclaimer noted – The good news I woke up with some back tenderness (likely from having to play against Wojo two days ago in ultimate frisbee).  The bad news I didn’t give a Sh*t.

 

Warm up SSHx10 – thats it – Painlabers off with Tube

Mosey to front of Schiele – 10 burpees OYO

Pledge

Mosey to First Pres – Dying cockroaches x10

Mosey to Parkwood – Merkins x10

Mosey to Partners Rehab for the first challenge – Triple Nickel with HRM and LBCs

Mosey to nearby wall for wall sit/Hip Slappers/Donkey kicks

Mosey to Sherwood elementary for teamwork challenge – segregate into two teams 4 each – One team member sprints across field does 5 CDDs tags the next teammate who does the same .  When the fourth is in first man sprints and does 5 Big boys and so one until each member completes the exercise.  Next was 5 SSH and then 5 Squats.  I was not sure how the time for recovery would work out but seems about right to have a minute or so in between sprints.  Just enough to keep us gased.  Winning team then chose the next exercise.  YHC gave them a choice between Dora, Route 66 or 11’s but I would choose the exercises.   The consensus was Dora – I then chose 50 burpees, 100 Merkins and 200 squats.  The 50 burpees was a real crowd pleaser.  With time almost drained we moseyed back to Schiele for COT.  In all we logged 3.5 miles, 60 burpees, 25 HRM, and a  couple hundred squats and Merkins.  Not bad for an hour.

During the workout I shared a message from Prov 18:9 ” One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys”  When we do not give our all – to a project, to our family, to our friends we are just one small step from being destructive in our relationships.  Always do your best!

This guy did!

 

As always it was an honor to serve
