It was a perfect morning with just a little chill in the air. What better way to start a Friday than a workout at Tequila Sunrise? As we gathered in the parking lot it looked like the Pushing Rocks Challenge was continuing to bring out a good crowd.

Warmup

• SSH
• Don Quixote
• Arm Circles

Mosey to the road at the back entrance to the school

• 1 burpee, run to the first telephone pole on the left and do 1 jump squat and 1 merkin, run back to the start
• 2 burpees, run to the second telephone pole on the left and do 2 jump squats and 2 merkins, run back to the start
• keep incrementing until we reach the STOP sign at the end of the road, should be up to 10 reps by then

This took almost 30 minutes but all the PAX were dedicated and worked hard to finish.

On to the Triple Nickle

• hand release merkins at start
• LBCs in the middle of the route
• flutter kicks at the street light

We got a few reps in and then had to mosey back to the school and catch the Pledge. We spoke briefly about pushing yourself a little. We always mention that you should modify as necessary, but at the same time you should push yourself as necessary.

Announcements:

• Convergence, Fuse Park, Apr. 13 – 7:00 AM
• Extinction Run Upcoming, details to come

Prayer Requests

• Gavel
• Hall Family
• all those spoken and unspoken

A rare FNG at Caddyshack means we pull out all the stops and show off the best of what Queens U has to offer. Lots of never before used F3 lingo gets thrown around and a very formal COT, with name symbols and all, takes place. Zippy may never come back, but he was certainly shown a good time!

We ran. We had a good word afterwards. It’s Holy Week so dive into the word this week men. Make it a habit and stay disciplined with it.

Roscoe needed a little help with his Downtown Q today so I said I got you and started concocting a beatdown accordingly. Then I heard it was someone’s B-Day today so I immediately changed those plans accordingly. Well wouldn’t you know it the B-Day boy didn’t even show. I hope there’s a dang good B-Day reason behind that. That being said we hit up several 5/3 sets and several 50/3 sets throughout all of my favorite Downtown spots. We started things off with the pledge and got started with the warmup. After that we got to the working on our 5/3 and 50/3 sets. The first 5/3 sets included a few rounds of Jump Squats/Pull-ups followed by several rounds of Mike Tysons/Burpees down Main St. Then into the parking deck we went. Once in the parking deck the 50/3 rounds started level one was LBCs/Burpees. Level 2 was Merkins/Burpees. Level 3 was Mountain Climbers/Burpees. Level 4 was Flutters/Burpees. Level 5 was Hillbillies/Burpees. Level 6 was Walking Lunges/Burpees. Once finished at the top we ran it back the same way on our way back to the bottom with Mike Tysons in place of the Burpees. On the way back to the flag we stopped for more rounds 5/3 – Mike Tysons/Burpees. We also got in a few 53 Second wall sits in there to pay homage to the 53 seconds of pure B-Day delight I’d imagined he had and was the real reason he wasn’t here today as the 53 seconds now takes 53 hrs. of full recovery at that age. Now we’re finally finished all of the 53 workout. Hope everyone enjoyed it. See y’all at the next one.

Gandalf on Q at Shark Tank means everyone is summoned. All 16 PAX who attended regretted the decision about the time we got to the top of the mothership the 3rd time…

For fear of drawing the ire of all those involved in pushing rocks, this is the official statement that 4 men ran around Belmont last Friday morning at 4:30am. Thank you. GD

Merlin and Mr. Tuttle and another pax with a name I can’t recall were interested to hear about our Pushing Rocks challenge.  Good morning to share stories downrange.
