Eleven men and a CHAMPIONSHIP BELT showed up to the greatest afternoon workout AO in the county, in the state, in the country and in the world.

All were distracted by the partially nude dude walking to the turd shack.
All listened to the tale of the failed EC at Folsom with the POKEMON guy.
All wondered about the smell from the turd shack men’s bathroom.

YHC took us out. Thanks for letting me lead. It was disjointed, sweaty, haphazard with tons of friendly laughter at the old geezer. Bedpan said his abs were toasted …… and Freight did not attend.

During Leppard’s Q Tuesday the two old geezers lamented on getting old and always being sore. Pair of bad hips. I’ve named mine Taylor Swift since my quad muscle and my femur had that bad breakup at the 2022 P200. It’s a song of which the pain never goes away.

Any dang way, enough belly aching and bitching on to this backblast.

It’s pissing down rain like a cow on a flat rock.
Drive up, tell all to go to the shelter by the playground. Slaw was good enough to start the warmup while YHC changed clothes and check to see if anyone else was stupid enough to post at the usual spot.

Will Smiths. Hand slapper things. 20 IC.

Merkins 10 IC.

Discuss a dumb exercise for comment. Saw a bone skinny fitness influencer chick do this on you tube, facebook, tik tok or something like that. 1 kg weight squeezed between back of hands, arms out front hold for 60 seconds. Then on belly, hold six inches for 60 seconds in superman pose. On back and do hands outstretched above head and hold.

At least 5 rounds of 100 single count of cherry pickers, droppers, overhead claps, MNC.

Due to the rash of soccer arms in region, here’s my cure:

(Dumb thought if we duct tape Mayor and Sargento together Siamese twin style could we get a proper form merkin using just their good arms?)

Incline merkins 5 rounds of 10 IC.

Mountain climbers One round of 20 IC.

Hop on tables because it’s pouring rain.

At least 5 rounds of 25 IC LBC, pretzel, Freddy Mercurys & flutters.

Couple rounds of various numbers of low slow squats & calf raisers.

Two rounds of 10 burpees back to back.

Had some round table style discussion about Whetstone and Shieldlock.
Discussed depression and suicide.
This issue has affected my family this week as my wife’s niece’s husband committed suicide Sunday evening.
If you are having an issue, please reach out to talk to someone. We are here to help.

YHC took us out.

Short disclaimer: modify as needed, don’t get hurt.

Warm up. Grab the frisbee that was hidden on Slaw’s work truck roof by YHC. The most hated “Dastardly dice of death”. Did a mix of various number of reps of in cadence merkins, inverse man makers (should have showed to know), mountain climbers, and flying squirrels starting at the flag and then at each light pole on the right on the way to the small soccer field. The dice were definitely loaded on mountain climbers or WWI’s.

Count off 1, 2, 1, 2 and so on. 1’s to one side, 2’s to the other side of the field. Def Leppard graciously allowed the use of his cones to mark the sidelines and end zones. They were ignored as always as “suggestions”.

One team cheated, some PAX cried unceasingly, some PAX cherry-picked, some PAX caught everything, some PAX dropped everything, some team couldn’t count, but one team was virtuous, honorable and won fair and square.

Not really-I think it was a 8-8 tie. It does keep Def Leppard’s non losing streak intact.

Not really, how bad can a dreary Monday morning be when as I was driving out of my neighborhood, the “Handsomest Cardiologist on Union Road at 0500 in the morning” (wins only by default-Defib is out of town) and Maybelline are running down Union towards Hudson for extra credit. Brief horn honk and wave.

Dagger downrange from the Mutha-Ship with Ghost Flag 2.0. Great testimony, great ministry Charlotte Rescue Mission-Check it out. Program for addiction recovery.

Some ran, some rucked, all had a good time.

We had a sighting of the Gordon Fisherman model. Looks a wee bit chubby in person. Lots of photo shopping in the advertisements.

Mini-sermonette: “Has no one condemned you…..Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go and sin no more.” John 8:7-11.

Guys, there are two types of people: bridge builders or bridge burners. Believers need to be the bridge to get people to Jesus. We shouldn’t be the burners. We can’t say “I can’t believe so and so has the unmitigated all to walk into my church with what they have done.” When we say that, it demonstrates that we have forgotten who we used to be when where the sinner who didn’t know Jesus either.

Announcements: Winter Nationals at Convergence, Defib at Gashouse this Saturday, Extinction Run

Prayers: Pappy, Seuss, Trace Barnette, Huck, Wirenut, Dagger’s ministry, those with addiction, recovery struggles, each other. Forgiveness for judgment and not remembering that Jesus died for all. YHC took us out.
