Day: April 4, 2024

Eleventy

The intent was to take Lifeline for a Birthday Q.   Alas that couldn’t happen, so let’s do it a day late.

Started with a disclaimer and then off we go, winding through the parking lot stopping at the center of each lane to do 9 reps of an exercise. The exercises included LBC, Flutter, Squat, Calf Raise, CDD and Merkin. ( aka 6 stops x 9 reps). Certain members of the Pax didn’t understand. (Even when given hints with those who can Math)

From there we moved to the parking lot in front of the school.  Here we did Route 66, except you start with 2 and end at 10  (66-1-11)
At this point YHC doesn’t remember the exercises, just said Pax still didn’t get it

Let’s try again, over at the loading dock …

Dora.  Rep for all three sets was 108 (If you don’t know why at this point you can keep doing the eleventy the Pax in question announced as the rep count )

On to the wall for sits, donkey kicks and dirty hookups .  In keeping with the theme (in my head) the counts for two Pax was two higher than everyone else.  At the time it made sense or I too was confused by the eleventy reps we were doing .

In rereading this, I think you had to be there to understand…

The Pledge of Allegiance was done ( I think)

Announcements made.

Prayers noted and lifted.

Thanks to all who came to celebrate with me.

Watts Up Powering Down

 

Not POINT-less

January started out with relatively good showings for 5AM in the COLD! The inaugural year of Ground Assault did ok in February and March with plenty of HIMs preparing for races and relays. This year February and March attendance did not disapPOINT with the Pushing Rocks Challenge, even with some cold and rainy Wednesdays. However, today at the aPOINTed time, there were only three HIMs there to join me, all of them ruckers. Seemed I was going to be running by myself so I did not need to go through the wayPOINTs for today’s route. After we said The Pledge someone POINTed out to me there was a car arriving a little late. Turned out be Minivan who pushed me through the run. While we may not have received any points for any challenge, from my standPOINT we all benefited from being out there getting better!

Announcements:

  • Convergence, Fuse Park, Apr. 13 – 7:00 AM
  • Extinction Run, May 18th

Namarama and COT

You might have missed a glorious morning

I thought it might be cold, I thought it might be windy, I knew it was going to be dry, but I had no idea this morning would be amazingly clear and crisp for a morning workout. This is the weather that sells Northerners sick of winter on moving to The South (btw, glad to be here, thank you very much).

Eleven men started with disclaimers, warmups and a little stretching plus a round of LB Arm Circles/Seal Claps/Overhead Claps. We moved to the bridge to Goat Island for calf raises on the entrance wall, then Incline Merkins, Derkins, the Plank Fence Climb and Step Ups. Karaoke to the back parking lot to pair off for Merkins, Squats, American Hammers, Hip Slappers, Apollo Ohno, and final Merkins. We returned in reverse order: Karaoke, Step Ups, Calf Raises and closed out with stretching.

Prayers for Jackson Curdy. We have followed his story and he is now ready to begin chemo, hopefully the beginning to a successful end. Keep an eye out for details regarding the FCA Golf Tournament in a week and a half and other events, as always there’s a lot going on.

My best, YHC.

Pax Wisdom

When I arrived this morning, at Folsom I thought it may just be me and Sarlacc today.

the cold Weather change can cause a sudden onset of the Fartsacc.

Luckily other HIMs showed up 530 time to clock in.

Per Union guidelines Wire Nut came in at about 531 but, could have been on time had it not been for our local Pokemon Hunter aka Pikachu not with F3 just a guy who plays pokemon in park each morning before work.

Warm up with some Monkey humpers to welcome Wirenut.

The Thang:

Blocks 10-1 Curls, tricep extensions, Block swings.

Triple nickel (or triple Nipple) overhead  press with block, climb the hill with the block and do block squats.

Courts shoulder taps bearcrawl next court Big Boys, Lunge walk, Merkins, bear crawl, LBCs, Lunge, Hillbillys, bearcrawl, Burpees. up ones side and back the same way to the beginning.

During the workout I asked the pax some Dad questions about big decisions in their children’s lives.

I appreciate all the great info this morning. Very Wise answers were given.

Thank you.
