Red Ribbon took us out
11 PAX showed up for Mental Health Awareness month.
Buddy up, because we all need somebody.
Started with 2 coupons representing carrying others’ burdens with them with multiple stops for various activities with the coupons.
We finished with partner work in 11’s fashion with partner Get-Ups and Booyah Merkins at the old Junior High.
Ran back to the AO just in time for the COT.
Good work, Men
15 strong at Folsom for some Dora, some core work, and some Merkin holds. Here’s what I remember:
The Thang:
Mosey to the first loop, up the road, but far short of the flagpole
Dora 1-2-3
Other partner runs a loop that was a little shy of 0.2 miles
Grunting in the pull-ups, grumbling during the Monkey Humpers, YHC figured we were on the right track. YHC had Wirenut as a partner and didn’t have to do any of the Crab Marches because they were already done upon return from first run. Good stuff.
And we were off to our next stop.
Mosey to the flagpole for the pledge, then step across the road to that loop for the next dumb idea
New partners, but this time we break the Merkin into 3 positions:
So Partner 1 holds, while Partner 2 runs the loop, which is a little more than 0.1 mile.
Strong push from the PAX on this one. YHC was paired with Wichita, and he was crushing it. Shoutout to Bedpan on this one too. We weren’t done.
Oh look, there’s enough time for 1 more round! Let’s see which one to pick?
Time to head back to the flag. Shout out to Wirenut and Beetle Bailey who brought in the Six without stopping all the way back from the flagpole.

Prayer Requests:
Strong push by all these men. Had a blast. Will be back.
Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

Some folks believe that if you do a certain type of workout then you didn’t prepare. I disagree. This is what happened…
A dozen HIM decided to get better this morning and after a short disclaimer, we warmed up with a mosey to the front of the school. To our surprise, some crazy students blew up a bunch of balloons and filled up a soccer goal with them in front of the school doors. Hilarious!
The Thang – Four Corners Deck of Death
Yep, when YHC pulled the deck out, some smarty pants suggested that there wasn’t any preparation for todays workout. Hardly! The first card was pulled and we did whatever it said to do (+10 reps if it was a number card) but left behind about 1/4 of the deck. Next, we sprinted down the sidewalk to the next corner and YHC pulled another card. Same thing, do the exercise, leave 1/4 of the deck behind. Sprint to the next corner, pull a card, do the exercise and leave 1/4 of the deck behind. Sprint to the last corner and do what the card says. Sprint to the start and swap the next card puller. Do a rotation of that PAX pulling cards all the way back to the start. Switch pullers, do it again. And again. And again. And again.
Time was running short so we headed back home to the start. We started a round of Bring Sally Up until time ran out and that was that. Thanks for the opportunity to lead men!

Rolled into Crossroads and found a lone PAX getting ready to launch. Balljoint rolled in next gettin a little EC in, then another, then another and pretty soon we topped out at five. Off we went and back again at 7:15 but one PAX shy. Seems Bed Pan decided his allergy driven snot would make for some good running fuel but his stomach did not concur! 🙁 We wrapped it up with the COT and then inside for QSource on LDP.

10 total posted on Tuesday at Midoriyama. This is what we did.
Warmup:
Let’s mosey!
The Thang:
We took a stroll down to the soccer fields and back. Around the turd shack we did 10 reps each of 9 exercises. That’s one round. We continued doing this by dropping one rep each round. 10, 9, 8, 7,…..1 and done. During these exercises we had a timer set to go off every minute. When the timer goes off you have to do 2 burpees then pick back up where you left off. Everyone completed this at different times but we all picked up the 6 until everyone was finished. The 6 completed 26-1 minute rounds so that’s 52 burpees. The exercises completed are below.
Squat
Merkin
Lunge single count
Freddy Mercury single count
CDD’s
Ski Burps single count
Wall Taps
Donkey Kicks
Miranda Rights
Once complete we made our way back down to the soccer fields and back. We finished up with some Mary. LBFCs, Freddy Mercurys, Boat/Canoe, Superman holds.
