10 Pax total at Old School this morning. 7 got in some run or ruck EC. Blart was late. It was noted that Belmont invaded Dallas this morning. Where my allegiance would fall was questioned.

Warmup:

does it matter?

The Thang:

I informed the PAX we were going to do a 7 minute circuit and since it was only 7 I wanted them to go hard. Well you know she said that! Exercises were squats, half burpee, reverse fly, and merkins. Do a round of 10 each. Then a round of 9 each and just keep working down from there. Once you’re done do a hollow body hold for the remainder. This turned out pretty good. On the track we did 7 minutes of run work. 2 minutes at 80% then a 30 second break. 1.5 minutes hard then a 30 second break. 1 minute working our way down to a final 30 seconds hard.
After  this it was time to hit the town. We moseyed over to the First Pres church and did some reps. We made our way through town stopping at churches and runnings through the exercises from the previous churches. All of which  spelled church.
C-Cdd’s x 10ic

H-Hallelujah Squats x 20

U-Up straddle hop x 30

R-Reverse crunch x 40

C-Chillcut Peter Parker x 50

H-Hand release merkin x 60

That last one hurt a bit and may have driven some PAX into the valley as they just refused to do it.
Getting low on time we made the hard push back to the AO.

Prayer Request-Roundup, SA’s family,

8 total this Thursday at Midoriyama. A couple better than last Thursday. Why is our number on Thursday lower than Tuesday? Is it that the week is wearing on people so they stop posting? Are they posting in the morning? Evaluate why you are posting. Are you posting for yourself or your brother? Just some thoughts from someone that doesn’t matter.

Warmup:

Did some stretch/back work I saw on a runners world tweet. No I do not follow them because I am not a runner. It just showed up in my feed.

The Thang:

Mosey over to the parking lot for some ladders. The rep count on one side of the parking lot ascended 1-10 single digit at a time and on the other side descended from 20 to 0 by 2’s. Round 1 was Merkins and Squats doing a side shuffle in between. Round 2 was burpees and cdd’s with a high knee skip in between. It was supposed to be plank jacks but someone stole my paper hoping I would forget it had burpees on it. We took a slow mosey around the parking lot for recovery. Round 3 was jump lunges and mtn climbers with just a run in between. Mosey back to the turd shack. We set the timer on 1 minute intervals and did several rounds of wall sits and planks.

Prayer Request-Roundup, Gumby, Slaw as his daughter nears the age of 21,

5 PAX posted tonight at Midoriyama. 2 got some EC on the Mtn! I gave a Slaw a choice of wienkes. Leppard always says this is fake but I let him see there was indeed two. The other will be used next Thursday.

Warmup: it’s 5:30 you should be good by now!

The Thang: Mosey to the soccer fields for the Laredo WOD. 6 rounds of 24 squats, 24 merkins, 24 lunges(count one side), and run a lap. We headed back to the flag for 4 minutes of 30 second walk sits and 30 second lbc’s.

COT:

announcements-retreat tomorrow. Lots of races coming up. Slaw is considering the SMR if Leppard and SA will do it.

Prayer request-Gumby, Tooltime’s daughter, my girlfriend Cindy.

9 Pax posted to Midoriyama Thursday night. 3 went out and got in some EC before. Seuss was not one of them. SA managed to become the local legend running to Lowell and back. That may be why he didn’t let Seuss know he would be doing EC. They used to be running partners. I don’t know what happened. Hate to see it.

Warmup:

SSH ic x 7 we had to stop because some people can’t seem to sink up with the Q. People don’t like to be called out like this and we all often do the same thing. I’m guilty. I get to talking and doing my own thing instead of following the Q’s lead. While it may not be that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things if we are developing leaders then we at least owe them the respect of following their lead. Also if you are in charge then take charge! Demand from the PAX that they follow you.

SSH ic x 10

Merkins ic x 10 now we’ve got some butt hurt people just refusing to follow my lead

Let’s roll

The Thang:

We headed up the road and circled around the long parking lot for a couple of rounds of some fartlek running. We picked up the pace for about half a lap then slowed it back down. We did this 3-4 laps then headed to the top of the parking lot at the soccer field. When I say we I mean some not all of the group. I could hear quite a bit of talking coming from back behind me and if the had picked the pace up like some of us did they would likely not been able to talk like that. Seuss was the only one that had permission to be talking due to his cardiovascular fitness.

At the top of the parking lot we partnered up for 11’s. Run around the island and do 10 burpees. Run back around to meet your partner for 1 booyah merkin. Continue on until reversed. I’ve done this one before and made the guys take turns carrying a block. This is a good one!

That eat up some time so when the batflippers finished up we called it and and moved on. From the top of the island to the curb, which about 2 parking spaces length, we did another round of 11’s. WWII’s, Ski burps, and duck walks back and forth. There was some grumbling and whining about knees when I said the duck walk. Of course before I could even say duck walk half the group of flippers had already taken off. Once again not following the Q’s lead. You know a good leader is also a good follower. During this exercise we had some good discussion about how SA just uses people over and over for his own personal growth but never gives back. This caused SA to lash out at #Hal. The long run this week may feel even longer!

I called for everyone to finish up where they were as we were running out of time. We took off running but Gavel being so very close to finishing refused to walk away without finishing it out. We circled back to get him then did a few more laps of fartlek run before heading back to the flag.

COT:

Announcments-lots of goof stuff coming from the new SLT. Leppard is not on the SLT this year if you didn’t know.  He seems a little sore about it. Watch your back Nantan!
