We ran Sargento had to run solo the Three Amigos left out a few minutes early to get some extra miles.
The question I have been thinking about today is should we communicate more, or show up to the AO earlier.
Deep Thoughts.
The Bed Pan is Full.
Fitness, Fellowship, Faith

Great group this morning.
We ran.
Warmed up with the standard…
Mosey down main to do 4 corners, big boys and swats. 3x laps
Step ups at the church, dips, and derkins.
Mosey up Franklin to parking lot near Pita Wheel where we did 3x Lungs, bunny hops, skipping.
Mosey down main doing 10x merkin per light post.
Finished with red robin.
7 HIM, one FNG and YHC posted for a brisk morning beatdown. I have been EH’ing a neighbor of mine and finally got him to commit today. Welcome Bullwinkle!
After a quick disclaimer here is what we did
Warmup SSH, Merkins, Burpees, LBC and Imperial Walkers.
Mosey to Martha’s after reviewing the Credo we proceeded with 11’s with Merkins and LBCs with Burpees in the middle. It seems that I may have become somewhat predictable as Stroganoff seems to anticipate my every move. Mosey too Soccer field. 4 corners stacking 10 Burpees, 20 American Hammers, 30 CDDs and 40 flutters. Then de-escalate backwards to first corner. Getting near time we began the long mosey back but not before knocking out 25 dips, 26 Step ups and 10 Derkins at he picnic tables. Finally, mosey back but stopping at each light pole for 5 merkins before a prison break to Pelicans. Time for namorama and naming of the FNG. Bullwinkle comes to us originally from a small town in Saskatchewan that rhymes with a female body part. Lucky for him I was benevolent enough to look past that for his nickname.

Mosey back for some Mary and a couple of Wojo stretches. Thanks Wojo.
Throughout the workout I would read a line from a few of my favorite movies and ask everyone to guess the movie. This didn’t go very well as most of these kids haven’t seen any movies made before 2010.
Some of my favorite movie lines.
“A real woman could stop you from drinking.” “It’d have to be a real big woman”. – from Arthur (I could’ve done 25 lines from this movie. Seems Defib may be the only one who remembers).
“The average Russkie, son, don’t take a dump without a plan” – from The Hunt for Red October
“Do or do not, there is no try”. – Star Wars
“A man who doesn’t spend time with his family can never be a real man” – Godfather
“Can you fly this plane and land it?” “Surely you can’t be serious.” “I am serious and don’t call me Shirley.” – Airplane
“You tell ’em I’m coming and hells coming with me” – Tombstone
“Do me this favor. I won’t forget it. Ask your friends in the neighborhood about me. They’ll tell you I know how to return a favor.” – Godfather 2
“It’s a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he’s got and all he’s ever gonna have.” – Unforgiven
and one I forgot to read… “You’re not the man I knew ten years ago.” “It’s not the years honey, it’s the mileage.” – Raiders of the Lost Ark
Thanks to all who posted, Great to see Blart back while still going through the dreaded Plantar’s pain. Great to see Suess, Wiki and Radar back in the afternoon.
