We had 7 at 0530 for an EC Food ruck for Dallas Christian Ministry. Norwood joined and brought food from his pantry at home, sorry Mrs. Norwood. 5 would do the bootcamp, 2 rucked some more and Flintstone left in his footmoblie.

Rain started as we finished the ruck so we took cover under the awnings at Old Stone. Still raining at 0700 so we said the Pledge of Allegiance from our cover. Mosey to my truck to pick up a deck of cards, then to the pavilion at the park.

Disclaimer, man it’s dark be careful and don’t get hurt.

WU: SSH x20 IC, leaf pickers x10 IC, toy soldiers x15 IC, LBC x15 IC, 5 burpees OYO

Mosey to the track for one set of 11’s-HR merkins, big boys.

Rain had stopped but since I had the cards in my pocket we took the long way to the shelter with plenty of tables for more fun. Draw a card and add 10 to the number except aces, those had fun of their own.

❤️-SSH. Ace-2 laps around track
♠️-HR merkins. Ace-1 minute plank
♦️-LBC’s. Ace-100 flutter kicks
♣️-Dips. Ace-100 step ups

Impossible to remember the order of cards pulled but two aces were on the top, 2 laps around the track and 100 flutters were a great start. Reshuffle the deck due to complaints and kept going. Plenty of hand release merkins and dips, a few SSHs but hardly any LBCs. Time was called before we could finish the deck. YHC was seeing stars on the way to the flag but it was good to get out there.

YHC took us out

I roll in this morning early (shocking i know) , collect blocks from the pile and move them into position at the parking lot where we did the IPC stuff. I leave the ranger there and run the path through the darkness to the shovel flag, where at 5:29 ish there was 8 HIM ready to get after it. kinda lite but cool 5:30 lets go! First exercise is…oh wait here comes somebody..Chubbs…ok Monkey humpers for him till he gets to the circle. ok cool here we go SSH…wait here comes beetle baily…1 burpee. ok toy soldiers…oh wait here comes Sparky. ok 2 burpees. Gravel pickers ..o wait here comes Purple Haze…3 burpees! Geez.. so about 5:45 we all warmed up and can finally get to work! we mosey thru the darkness to the other parking lot…grab a block! We did Nemo’s See below 10 then run a lap, 9 run a lap, etc… Most got down to 3 or 4, we could have got done if we didn’t have a 15 min warm up waiting on everbody..😂 oh well you will have that some times! Good Work! It felt like IPC week6.

NEMOs
This routine mixes a get-up with a blockee. Start laying flat on your back, with a cindy on the ground above your head. Grasp the cindy, bring to your chest, perform one press straight up. Place cindy to one side, then kick out your legs or flip over to an inclined plank position. Perform one incline merkin, then without releasing the cindy, stand up and perform an overhead press. Return to inclined plank, perform another inclined merkin. Return to position on your back, perform one press straight up over chest with cindy. Return cindy to position over your head for one rep.

Ultimate Frisbee for the last time at Midoriyama this year.

Have you ever seen those guys at the gym that would circle the parking lot looking for the closest parking space and then go inside and get on a treadmill?  All who showed this morning at the PUB got to witness the equivalent.

Tube – will you give Power Red?

It was a beautiful morning of darkness and streetlights, 50-ish degrees and all of us were quietly wondering how JJ was surviving at such frigid temperatures without a Balaclava, double gloves (“you had two pair of gloves?”),  and a down track suit.

How about Power Red?

We spoke the Pledge of Allegiance to our great nation, which does have it’s own set of problems, but we are thankful the Lord has planted us here… and then got to work.  ‘Work’ hardly seems like work when you find yourself in the company as such men as the PAX that showed this morning.  We had runners and ruckers (Power Red); the runners made their way toward the Armory and back, and the Ruckers did a loop in an apartment complex.  Heart rates were increased, stories were told, and we gathered back around the area between the flag and… ‘the Parker’.  Roscoe made sure everyone found their way around ‘the Parker’ to locate the COT.

Have you considered Power Red?

We solved an important matter – the minimum height at which you could give blood is most definitely less than 4’11”; broke fellowship and made our ways back to our vehicles and homes, with some of us having a MUCH shorter distance than others.

Announcements (Power Red):

Christmas Party Dec 3, Marathoners and Half Marathoners over the next two weekends, the Speed for Need that is coming up, Blood Drive (Power Red)…

Folks to remember to pray for:

Breaker Breaker’s family moving back to town- one is in the job hunt, Turtleman, and Amazon with the arrival of the new little one.

I was told Allen Tate was gonna struggle to get this in so I did it before we ever left Folsom so I don’t get contacted at the end of the month about it 😂. Everyone started rolling in with about 3 min till start. After everyone gave him a good round of crap for not posting we got things going.
