With the trail of magic flying raindeer dust from Santa’s sleigh still lingering over the Gas House, 8 HIMS plus YHC arose from being nestled in there beds while visions of  burpees dancing in there heads.  It was a brisk 29 degree morning at Snowballs and awesome weather to work off some of that roast beast we all ate way too much of.  5:30…let’s do it!

Moleskin:

It is such a honor to be part of such an incredible group of men (an I mean men) that strive to better themselves, their families, and the community surrounding them.  I am humbled.  You will never fully realize the positive effect that you have on such that will probably last for generations.

I asked God for something positive and HE gave me F3.

God bless you all…..Aye!

Time Frame

As I pulled into Snowballs at 5:25am, I was pleased to see a good group of PAX gathering and getting ready to push the rock for a bit.  Looks like the fartsack epidemic from Monday has been cured and the PAX seemed well rested and ready for some movement.  5:30 and let’s go!

Pledge

Warmup:

emperial walkers x 10

goofballs x 20

Da Thang:

Long mosey to back of lower middle soccer field (along the way I was asked for an eta on arrival).  I could feel the love already.   At some point we passed a gentleman walking in the park and Freight asked himself “who would come walk in the park at this time of morning?  Oh yea, us.”

LBC’s x 50

Short mosey to risers for dips x 20ish (the count was a bit off, my bad)

Mosey to front right of same soccer field;

Squats x 20

Merkins x 20

Mosey to front left of same soccer field (we are making our way around the track;

Squats x 20

Mountain climbers x 20 (count right foot except D-fib because that’s how awesome he is)

Repeat da entire thang….adding 10 Dirkins after the LBC’s and before the dips

Third time around the PAX was calling for something different so we did 51 LBC’s

we were going to add step up but the risers were wet with dew making them slippery so we Omaha’d them for the time being.  Everything else was the same except we counted the left foot for the mountain climbers.  We’re getting crazy now!  Hope your happy D-fib.

4th and final time around we did 49 LBC’s due to my OCD to keep the numbers even.  Thank you Freight  for noticing.

Dirkins x 10

Dips x 20

Mosey to the shelter;

As we gathered in the gloom on a nice cool morning after a night of little ghosts, goblins, and too much candy it was great to see 10 men show to push the rock.  5:30 hit and here we go.

mosey to the old Harris Teeter parking lot;

The thang;

At each of the 6 long perpendicular lines to the building that make up the parking spaces of the parking the pax is to do a 10 count of a selected exercise out of the Q’s “bag of tricks”.   Upon completion of the 10 ea at all 6 parking space line the instruction was to mosey around rear of old Harris Teeter to the loading dock, hop up the loading dock and bear crawl back to the start where we were to do 50 LBC’s.  Let’s get busy!  The excel uses were as follows;

Merkins

Bobby Hurleys

Mountain Climbers

Seal Jax

As the pax was screaming for more, I couldn’t let them down, so we lunge walked to the closest of the same lines we were using for the thang where we did 10 squats.  Repeat for next 3 lines.

At this point the Pax made note that this workout had “Gastone written all over it”.  I thanked them for the complement.

We meandered to the wall that is the side of the old Harris Teeter where we did 2 1 minute wall sits with arm raises.  At this point Stone Cold said we need to do some arms.  I was happy to ablidge.

Merkins x 15 (Turtleman made mention that if we do 15 more we will have a nice round 100 for the morning and he likes round numbers.  More to come on that in a few.)

Mosey to the “Martha’s Wall” so we named it for some dips.
