As those of us who have lived here all of our lives these low 60s low humidity mornings that feel like fall in late August are really just a “fake” to make us think the heat is over. Then  – as usual we fry through late September. So with that in mind a determined set of men gathered at the Mt. Hollywood AO to get a little work in to start the week off right. It went like this:

NMM:

Nice, nice morning out there today! We had one coming our way after the last 90 or so. Everybody looked great and worked hard. Great to see a strong pax like this one was. Mt. Holly is just a nice place anyway. We need more of a presence up there.

Prayers up for those that work in the school system especially teachers and support staff. And of course the kids themselves. Hopefully everybody stays safe and learns a lot! We need for that to happen.  And we are here to help. Let’s not forget that either guys!

Prayers up the Hamm family, guys on IR (even Dredd) and those we have not seen in awhile also. If you can get with one of our brothers who has been absent awhile reach out and do so. One guy I am thinking of is Wheezy. Know he is dealing with some things and has told me he would like ot get back out. Let’s help make that happen. Be good for all of us.

Until next time, honor and a pleasure to lead this crowd.

So as most people that know me will tell you I detest being on a computer, thus my slackness on getting back blasts posted in a  timely manner.  It is something that I am working on,  but thanks to Huckleberry I am gonna do this one now.   Also, somewhere in the mix I misplaced my workout so I am gonna try this from memory lol.

Warm-up

SSH x 15 IC

LBC x 20 IC

Merkins x 10 IC

Stations: AMRAP 1 minute timer

Swings, Merkins, Renegade Rows, Flutters, Peoples Press, Goblet squats

We did this for around two rounds and did some lateral lunges down to the light pole and then did 5 burpees, lateral lunge back and repeated.  We finished up with some Mary and called it a day.

COT:  Prayer Requests: HoneyDo’s dad

YHC took us out.

I am making it a commitment to do better at this back blast thing.  Thanks for the call out Huckleberry!  SYITG

Not as in the last, last but last Monday.   A strong turnout to start the week and the last week before the crumb snatchers return to school.   All led to a joyous occasion, where Gastone and Whoopee, unaware of who had the Q jumped at the chance.   YHC had it covered and was quick to say thanks, but no thanks.

Let’s mosey

Headed down Riverwood, stopping at a few lights for 20 squats OYO

Stop at the doctor’s office, broad jump to the first light, mosey back for 20 big boy sits ups

Rinse and Repeat x3

Mosey down into the neighborhood heading towards the back entrance to the park.   One of the Einsteiners in the bunch mentioned jumping in the pool.   At this point, the pax was already wet, so it sounded like a promising idea.   Omaha’d towards the pool, thinking this could be good or bad.   YHC woke up from his neverland dream and proceeded out the lot back down the road.  Stopping at the trail entrance for 10 quick burpees.

Lunge walk down the trial into the darkness.   Proceeded about 30 yards before omahing into a mosey.

Into the park down to the fork in the path.  10 more burpees

Mosey to the play ground for a modified cindy.  10 pull ups, 20 merkins, 30 squats

Rinse and repeat x5

Mosey out the back side, up the trail and to the club house or concession area at the fields

Pair up for some Dora

Partner A runs around the field while Partner B performs exercise

100 derkins, 200 American Hammers, 300 flutter kicks

Some groups made it, was running short on time so called it.

Mosey back to the start.  TIME

A number of announcements

Labor Day murph at the park 7:00 sharp.   Neverland will be closed at 5:30

Some great work put in by all.   YHC appreciates the push more than you would know.  Thanks for the opportunity.  Always a honor to Q.

Well gents,

It’s been a great summer and we have had a lot of fun at these workouts.  Today was filled with a lot of fun moments and finished us up right.  The first was when Sargento and Edison showed up without the 2.0s and joined us.  Edison got back in the car, I heard to go get his kids, but we never saw him again.  The Yank was also visited by a guy new to the area named RaRa, who appeared to have a great time and was always smiling.

It looked like rain was on the horizon, but we had a good turnout despite it.  Time started and Doodles move us to the concrete pad for the warmup.  After a few exercises to get loose, he donned the half pipe. Dads would count off as ones and twos and ones would go up the grass hill while the twos would do and exercise.  When ones would return, the twos would go to the stairs.  Dads would switch and hit the stairs and grass every other turn.  It didn’t take long for mumble chatter out of the 2.0s.  Then Doodles moved us up to the top of the track and split us up and half the group ran one direction and the others ran opposite.  That took us to Norwood.

Norwood had set up some baseballs. The first thing was dads would tag the 2.0s (they were supposed to stay within the baseballs – that didn’t happen).  Once tagged, kids did an exercise.  After all kids were tagged, switch and the kids tag the dads.  We did a handful of rounds.  Then it was relay time.  A dad bear crawls to the bats (25 yards away) with a kid on their back and runs back after getting to the bat.  Next relay was the dizzy bat race where you ran to the bats and spun five times and ran back.  I AM GLAD THERE IS NO FOOTAGE OF THIS. YHC got laid out around spin three.  Four and five were tough and I couldn’t make a straight line back to the group.  The same could be said for Sister Act and Roscoe.

Sister Act had something in mind to show the 2.0s what we really do.  He decided to run a triple nickel with burpees up top and then bear crawl around the fountain (quickly omahad to Bobby Hurleys at the back of the fountain.  Funny thing heard was when his 2.0s said their hands hurt during the bear crawl, SA promptly replied “well I have gloves on”.

That wrapped it up and we named an FNG and closed it out and had some Gatorade and fig bars.

I want to thank all of the dads for coming out this summer to support and especially the dads who took the leads.
