Yes …. you read that right . This workout was inspired by Broke who I explained to assembled pax about 1-1/2 months ago q’d the Storm running us all the way to Goat island and back then attempting to reach Midoriyama all the while adding exercises that made me wonder what it would be like to Q and not really move or move far without using coupons either. Top hat the other week spoke of too much running a few weeks back and I’d told him of this Q having “Zero to no running involved “, but unfortunately he was not present ….. so….
Arrive early to see Boudin…. yes Boudin is back and looks strong … rucking … I quickly grab my weighted vest and join in for two trips around parking lot. This HIM told me his plan to follow Whoopee going for 75 miles this month!
So with 5 minutes to spare , doff gear and greet pax assembling . Dirt has youngest son in tow for an FNG , this is another first for me never having led at the Storm and now an FNG!
Start with pledge and then MNC 10 count IC
1 burpee
10 D Q. IC
2 burpee
10 I W IC
3 burpees
10 SSH IC
4 Burpees ( I accidentally did 5 forgetting and getting ahead of self
10 cDDs ( I think) IC
Now….5 burpees

Move slowly over to upper lot after having pax deliver the 5 core principles to our new recruit

Escalating four corners!
Corner 1. 25 merkins
Corner 2. 25 merkins and 50 plank jacks
Corner 3. 25 Merc 50 PJ and 75 lbcs
Corner 4 same as above adding 100 cDDs
When moving from corner to corner … remember NO running! We ….. NUR
Thankfully it was so humid sticky and hot … I chose not to deescalate… but we must do 5 burpees for the train that rolled through ….. Slaw was so happy!
NUR to school where we do 3 rounds of 10 dips 10 derkins and I choose to NOT use exercise I planned on of Hip slappers but change over to 10 burpees for Slaw! …. funny how there was almost no mumble chatter until I tell all this …. many thanked Slaw!!
Then Doodles mumbles about preferring some running , someone mentions setting Strava on drive home to get ANY running in …… soooooo…. I modify next exercises for Doodles giving pax 100 high knees 100 mountain climbers and 100 squats … we next lunge back and circle up and since there’s plenty on the clock we complete 2 short rounds of exercises I was originally going to call ….. ABC s … since were at school
25 A American Hammers
25 B Big Boy sit-ups
25 C CDDs
25 s squats
Still 3 minutes … I ask Boudin for 10 count ….and ask him fav exercise … Burpees….. how many? 5!
I look to other side ask Slaw what is …….. Sister Acts fav exercise ( we all KNOW if called on what was coming …. so I threw a curve ball which really messed both guys up …. so I asked SA what his exercise would be and he calls Mike Tyson’s and tells us 10 andddddd time!

No Diablo Sammich this Thursday , but Whoopee will bd leading a Fourth Murph at 7
All other AOs will be open as usual in the morning with a Special edition of The Yank at 7 where the Declaration of Independence will be read!
There will NOT be a Midoriyama workout this Thursday (7/4)
Possibly another tubing event 7/20 more to follow
Folsom F3 fathers/ 2.0s on July 20 at 7:00 ( yes … that time is correct according to Mayor)

We next name the FNG …. takes a few minutes which surprised me … I tried not to influence the pax but when David mentions his dad (Dirt) and mentions for second time being in school in Idaho…..
I ask all what comes from the dirt or is grown in the dirt ? Finally someone calls “mud!”…. I ask the pax one or 2 agree …. then “spud” is called out ….. in all fairness I ask all “mud?” Again only 2 agree so I now call out “spud “ and get a better response … so welcome Spud … son of Dirt!
Prayers for Boudins brother in law and upcoming surgery
Montross’ mother ( tumors)
Continued prayers for Lynn Hamm to remain cancer free
3 members of Breaker Breakers church who are deploying soon ( infantry) newly married all …..one in Texas, another California and the other in Kuwait

Thanks to all who attended or influenced me in today’s exercise

SAC – Sexy Ass Cardiologist. He was chased 5 miles by a bunch of HIM. I heard screams from woman all over, well maybe, It may have just been Quiche. Not quite sure.

We got in 2 miles as we remembered those on D-Day. While we rucked we took a short marching break and pretended to storm the beaches at Normandy. We army crawled halfway across the soccer field as if we were crawling under the barbed wire. We then switched up to bear crawl the remaining half of the field.

No repeat Q fails for me today. Yes, YHC had a major Q fail for the first time in my time at F3. I forgot I had the Q at Boar’s Nest on Sunday and I left Montross and Bed Pan high and dry. That said I had asked VooDoo on Sunday who had the Q this Tuesday at Bulldog as I thought i’d like to take it. He laughed and said “Uhh, You do!”. Well ill be damned, I forgot I signed up! Guess I need to re-enable those calendar notifications on slack and piss everyone off again just so i can be reminded of when I’m Q.

Any who, I was happy to be out at Bulldog again and excited to Q. Thought I’d do a little ladder action this go round.

Time

By this time we were all sweaty and nasty. Someone pointed out Watt’s Up Poison Ivy, Sumac, Oak, Bret Micheals, i dunno what is was but it was poison something. Apparently he was wraslin with a peacock in the woods. Watt’s Up then proceeded to show us all of the mysterious poison sores all over his body, thankfully not his taint though. HunkAJunk then pipes up and said he’d make Watt’s Up jealous by stripping naked and running backwards through a corn field. Oompa Loompa got excited. Show to know!

Prayer requests: HunkAJunks Friend with Cancer, Belmont Police, HunkAJunks Shoulder

YHC Took us out

I know it’s been humid out and that might make us sweat a little more, but looking around at the aftermath (as HushPuppy has pointed out in his photo on the twitter box) you can tell these HIM put in a lot of work this morning. I noticed some had to modify some exercises today for various reasons, but when i saw them modify they still chose an exercise that pushed themselves hard. And that’s what you should do when you modify. Don’t modify to something easy, modify to something that still makes you push yourself. Great work by all. Love this AO!

AYE!

HIPAA

Low in numbers first day of July.  What we lacked in numbers was made up for by serious effort.  We went to some new places and did some familiar things. Show to know.

Moleskin:  took the chance to use mid year as a chance to re-set. Good time to use month of July to read a chapter from Proverbs each day.

Prayer requests: we started our prayer week with praying for our leadership: Stroganoff, Sister Act, Roadie,Def Leppard, Hucklebery, Hipaa, Mayor.  Also pray for Monk and his family

Always an honor

YHC TOOK US OUT

Know that God will sometimes load us down with trials and troubles to test our faith and trust in him. God only does those things to make us stronger! It’s hard for me and any believer sometimes but know that God loves us and he will never forsake us! Thank you men for the opportunity to lead.

Round up is OUT

Six runners, 2 ruckers, one drive by, and Roadie showed up at Crossroads to celebrate Oompa’s second birthday Q, and yes, I am nearly as old as Methuselah, if you care.

YHC drove into Ingle’s parking lot and found Freight and the wise OLD man Def Leppard left to run at 0615 with no Sister Act or Dr. Seuss in sight. Almost immediately thereafter, the two showed up, with Sister Act whining about something hurts. Blart rolls in hot, and at 0630 off we go. Sister Act and Dr Seuss in the lead with Blart on right their heels taking the long route around Folsom via the Prison. YHC took a short cut.

Eventually, all returned safely for the pledge and prayer requests. Thanks to Montross for starting the serenade of Happy Birthday to Oompa. Good to see ya Roadie!
