Return to Neverland

Men, never ignore that strong or silent voice in your head that tells you much like Rafiki, “ It is time!” When that sounds in your brainpan or ears telling you it’s been toooo dammmmmmnnnn long since you last led ….. so take up those reins … and giddy up!
Like so many Qs that I’ve led, this entire workout came to me in a flash, I mean it’s so simple, even a mailman can do it!

Arrive early … one truck … a few more will pull in giving us an even 5!

Give disclosure also announcing that for today and today ONLY! We shall not be known as The Labyrinth ….. but Neverland …. More later…

MNC Toy Soldiers Imp walkers and goofballs all IC (10x)
Complete circuit with 10 big boys

Mosey to gates of Martha’s for… 20 oyo big boys and 20 lbcs

Announce that today we honor Turtleman …. And YES !!! before I go any further all you ole fogies who wanna dis me for using the Wednesday Martha’s workout can kiss my apple !! Always remember that there was constant confusion for years as to …” is this Dark night? Is this dark Knight? Is this Martha’s House … is this …… blah blah blah!!! “

We tried to mosey to the maintenance shed ( like Monday) but the cleanup crew came in early for OT ( unlike Monday ) …. Defer to stands for 40 calf raises, 20 heels out calf raises and 20 heels in

Move to concession area …. Look … a flag …pledge!

Dora time !

100 merkins 200 squattos 300 lbcs

After partner up ( I joined a team … so 3 … and 2)

Each partner would bear crawl the concession area ( yep. I remember this royally sucked but had to try it anyway!!)

So next we would lunge ….. nope …. That too sucks …. We have many other leg exercises ahead …. So all remaining trips would be a nur


So…. You guys know what an Indian run is ?? Well!!! Turtleman tried a few times …. Usu unsuccessfully to create a slow turtle crawl and last man would bear crawl to front and slow to “ keep the pace” …. We did this VERY SUCCESSFULLY !!! Excellent job men!! Going down one path

Now for elevens …. But…. Turtleman was always known for big boys … but I remember one day he not only hit us with a question of what is the difference between a big boy and a WW1 but he made us do elevens with WW1 on one side and WW2 on the other!!! That’s what we did

Upon completion I told all of what I most remember of these is that all pax were overusing this and creating a rash just above the buttocks … which Turtleman called “ swamp butt!”

Times closing in …. Last thing I wanna do are suicides …. So I give a distance and we race Pell mell and slowzee after until next suicide finally reaching the last break point in front of gates and I announce jail break!! We have 30seconds !!
It was at this point that Captain Stubing recalled how Turtleman always made workouts fun and JJ recalled those winter workouts under cover of picnic shelters where those who participated would reap the rewards come summer when all the girls would flock to them !!

I passed two final nuggets to the men that to me… Turtleman always is willing to turn a conversation around and ask, “ but how are you …. Or the M … or the 2.0 doing”. And lastly … I’m sure HIPAA and Watts up will concur …. Hands down…. Perhaps the worst person to complete a backblast was …………… Turtleman.

Much thanks to Maybelline for letting me get the Q … the men for letting me lead … and mostly for the Big T …. Who one day at a Downtown workout told me …. “ you know, I think it’s time you lead a Q site!”

Prayers for Clutch’s wife’s cousin Sean ( Shawn?) facing leukemia and Turtleman

And as a final note …. TMan had chosen the name Neverland …. Had added that since we are young at heart and reaching back for our childhood… Neverland!! I thought he had a great thing … until ( was it T Square or Hushpuppy??… or someone else that ….”wasn’t that the name of the place were Michael Jackson ……. “
