Anniversary Q – 5/4/19 @ The Yank

We had 13 PAX for this workout but due to a Q fail, I didn’t get everyone’s name.  Sorry to those I didn’t list above.   Let me know if you were there and not listed and I’ll add you to the list.  SORRY.

My first F3 workout was on the first Saturday in May of 2018.  I was horribly out of shape.  I am indebted to all of the PAX who have led the workouts and encouraged me throughout the past 12 months.   I once again have confidence in my physical abilities due to these great workouts!  Thank you for your friendship.  Life is Good.

No Room At The Inn

I was suppose to Q at the Yank on Dec 15th, but the Natan had the convergence on that day, so my Q was pushed to Dec 22nd.  I was excited to plan the workout the week before Christmas!  We moved the AO to Kevin Loftin Riverside Park because Belmont was sponsoring a 5K and 1/2 marathon at the time of our workout.  Toto was already in the parking lot as I rolled in at 6:50 am.  It was nice to see him at a Saturday morning workout.  Special thanks to Virus for hanging out in Belmont to direct any PAX, that showed up there, to the new location.

Circle up and AMRAP the following AB exercises while each PAX runs around the amphitheater:

LBCs

WWI sit ups

Time to travel to Bethlehem.  Mosey up the hill along Catawba Street to the first traffic light at 10th Street and back.  Meet up at the far end of the park near the boat ramp entrance.

The trip wasn’t easy for Joseph and Mary and just got tougher for us.  Pair up and Wheelbarrow the length of the fence.  Flap Jack at the end x 2.

Now that we have arrived, we need to find a place to spend the night.  Mosey to the first inn at shelter #2.  Do 20 Step Ups (each leg) while the innkeeper checks to see if he has room.  No luck.

The next inn is shelter #3.  Do 20 dips (IC) while the innkeeper checks to see if he has room.  No luck here.

Inn #3 are the picnic tables at the bottom of the hill.  Do your choice of inclined merkins, derkins or diamond merkins x 20.  I choose inclined merkins with fingers pointed down.  Thanks to Eminem for Q’ing this a few weeks ago.  No luck here.

The final inn to check it shelter #1 on top of the hill.   Do Bulgarian ?? x 20 each leg.  Can’t remember what these are called.  (Help me out here Tesla)  One foot  on a bench start with arms raised.  Touch hips, toes, hips and raise arms.  This is a large inn and the innkeeper hasn’t returned.   Do hip slappers x 10 counting one arm while we wait.

He returns and says we can stay in his stable where he keeps the animals.  Here we did:

Calf Raises x 50 (IC)

Stork Squats (one legged squats) x 20 each leg

Bear Crawl the perimeter of  shelter #1

Alligator Merkin x 5 each side

Donkey Kicks x 20

Dying Cockroaches x 20 (IC)

Pause for a minute to reflect on the conditions in which the Savior of all mankind entered the world.  He was born in a barn with the smell of animal urine and manure in the air.  It was cold and damp.  He came here as a poor vulnerable baby.  He grew up to perform miracles, teach us and be an example for us.  Then he suffered for us, took our sins upon himself that we might repent of our sins and dwell with him in our Heavenly Father’s Kingdom!!

Mosey to the parking lot.   Three Wise Men or Kings followed a star to see the Christ child.  Do X’s and O’s x 10 to represent the star.

Zombie walk the length of the parking lot to the flag.    Remind the PAX to zombie walk with dignity since we are representing kings.

One minute left.  Jump for joy for the arrival of the Savior.  Jump Squat until 8:00 am timer goes off.  It was a long minute!

Announcements:

Martha Rivers and Mt Hollywood will meet at 7:00am on Monday 12/24 at their respective AO’s.

Prayer request for Virus’ friend who is having a tough time with his M.

Thank you Tesla for allowing me to Q the Saturday before Christmas.  Thanks to all who came out on  a beautiful morning to better themselves and to push me.  Everyone pushed hard.

I hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas!

Dirt is out.

Happy Birthday Max and Jenny!

When Dr. Seuss asked me to Q sometime in November, I asked what dates were open.  He said that the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th were open.  I though of how perfect Nov 15th would be for my VQ since it’s my daughter and grand sons birthday.  So I started working on my winkie right away and came up with some good ideas using 11-15-16 (my grandson’s birthday) and 2 for his age.  I also came up with ideas for my daughter, who was born on 11-15-89 and is 29 years old.  Having lived here for 37 years, I knew that rain was a strong possibility.  I wanted to use the picnic tables on Goat Island and arrived a few minutes early to find that the gates to the bridge were closed.  It was raining pretty hard, so in my best Peyton Manning voice…….. OMAHA, OMAHA!!!

Since it was raining and 36 degrees, I figured it was best to stay dry today so to my disappointment, no running.   I hope my fellow HIM’s appreciated staying dry under the pavillion.
