No Kids in Sight

Gavel asked for a Q on F3 Dads at The Yank.

YHC volunteered figuring if no non-Dads showed, YHC might be able to join in with the kids.  The fears of this were quickly alleviated with PP already being on-site upon arrival.

0700 hit with Nutria starting with 5 burpees for the current train and The Pledge of Allegiance.   Then we parted ways.

3 joined YHC for a mosey around the block, stopping about halfway around for some stretching. Continuing on around, across the tracks and back to the back parking lot.

Time for YHC version of The Sheldon Cooper:

10 Flying Squirrels, 10 Merkins, 10 Squats, 10 Big Boys.

Run a lap, then repeat with one less rep.

Olsen was well on his way, so to keep all together, YHC called intermission after the 6 rep.

Intermission consisted of 1 min People’s Chair, 1 min Catcher Stance, 1 min low plank.

Then back to finish the Cooper.

Then a repeat of intermission but at 2 mins.  YHC had to call catcher’s early as the old knees where yelling (read that as old, fat and need to practice more)

Then two rounds of 15 count Mary, so AO policing before heading back to the flag.

2 rounds of dips and incline merkins and it was time.

No sign of F3 Dads, so we continued on.

Announcements were announced.

Prayers noted.

YHC took us out.

(Still no sign of the other group)

 

It was an honor to lead.

 

Watts Up Powering Down.

YHC knew he had Q this AM (and JJ double-checking).  During this thought process, YHC was reading through backblasts and one in particular sounded “fun”, so I copied it….

Was it something we said?

0530 hits and an experienced group of Pax have assembled.  Lots of chatter, but it quickly settles.

Brief disclaimer and contrary to expectations,  we take off around Snoballs and across the street to the bank. Good bit of chatter about a warmup or lack thereof.

We stop in the parking lot for

20 SSH IC

2 8 count body builders

20 LBC IC

23 MNC

Given today is Feb 20, 2023, seemed appropriate.

A lap around the back parking lot and then over to the entrance to the funeral home.

Double 11s

Merkins/LBCs at entrance

Squats/Apollo Onos at building.

We stopped about halfway through for a quick round of ab work.

Shortly thereafter, the few lights on, were now off. 🤷‍♂️

Back to the bank.   Flintstone twice mentioned hearing what he claimed to be a train.   So 5 burpees, a lap around the bank and then 5 more.

Another lap, before heading back to the flag.

We managed to get in The Pledge of Allegiance before time expired.

Can’t Think of a Title

Quite a large crowd in the gloom of morn on this Friday.  Between New Year’s and the challenge, numbers have been large. Let’s keep it up.

0530 hit, YHC gave a disclaimer, but most were too busy yammering to hear it, so instead of doing warmup, lets mosey.  Just around the the parking lot and up to the playground.

Still lots of conversations going on, but some participated.

Mosey to the church.

Sit on the wall for a bit
15 Donkey Kicks
Sit for a bit
15 Dirty Hookups
Sit
Marching and Presses

Partner Up – Dora

100 Merkins
200 Squats
300 Flutters

Back to wall, with intention to repeat, but after the DKs, a truck just sat in the street, apparently watching us.  Upon advice from Nantans present, we vacated and moved to the tennis courts.

Activities here included, running the lines, burpee broad jumps, bear crawls, lunges and something I can’t remember.

Back to the street.  20 Squats at every pole on the way back to the flag.  Errr make that 10 (cuz of time)

Had time once all were back from a couple of burpees to end the round.

Announcements were made.’
Prayers were noted.

Breaker took us out and we squeezed in the Pledge of Allegiance.

 

Although I hadn’t planned on such a large crowd, It was awesome.  I hope it continues.

It was an honor to lead.
