The conditions this morning were great, considering the abundance of cars in the lot when i pulled up. Not wanting to alter anything that has become the norm…Uncle Jesse came in hot, just as the clock turned 5:15. His engine was the only hot thing among us, at that very moment, because it was cold! 28°
YHC proved a little shocked to see Spud in the midst. I don’t know why…he’s committed to his March Madness team he will post no less than 5 days a week. I believe in you Spud.
I was also pleasantly surprised to see our resident School Board member standing frigid and tall this morning. He was an FNG, as he made abundantly clear…more to be said later on that.
YHC called pax to circle around for
COP
SSH – 25 IC
Windmill – 15 IC
Mtn Climbers – 15 IC
Copperhead Squats – 10 IC
THE THANG
YHC Called on pax to run and grab a coupon. As we were descending the stairs Karma almost took over. Baby Blu, who just the Tuesday before, witnessed Kobayashi fall flat on his face turning the corner at the bottom of the stairs and made uber-fun of him, almost bit it himself. I think one hand hit the ground before the All-Star American standout took over and prevented a complete bust.
Everyman with his coupon meet at the bottom of the monster. (Why were the gates locked?! Who is the AOQ of this place?? Tickle, do you know?) We ran back up the stairs to get to the bottom. While there, 11’s ensued.
11’s Backward run up/Forward run down the monster
(1) Bottom – ALPO’s
(10) Top – Burpees
this was followed by 50 Curls
(1) Bottom – Kettle Bell Swings
(10) Top – Bonnie Blair’s (count EACH leg). The pax had a hard time understanding EACH leg.
A few pax had been leading the way the whole time here…Doogie MD and Uncle Jesse being two. Well, Meter Maid decides that was enough. I witnessed this 43 year old grunt basically sprint backwards up the hill passing at least 3 pax who had a 6 or 8 step head start on him. And this was THE LAST round. Other words, we were pooped.
this was followed by 100 Block Bench Presses
Honestly, YHC did not realize how long it would take to do the 11’s. We had 9 minutes left at this point. So, we did
50 Flutter Kicks (count one leg)
50 Bench Presses
25 American Hammers (count one side)
25 Bench Presses
50 Flutter Kicks (count one side)
25 OHP
Music was playing on the Bose the whole time, by the way.
This was a good group of guys. Glad to see Beano out working his tail off again!
COT
Count-off
Name-off
Brief word from Psalm 118:24. According to Uncle Jesse it says something about Christ our Savior…i think I heard him say. Well that is definitely a good verse, wherever it is, but it’s not this one. “This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
Announcements
Prayer
- As mentioned above, we had 1 FNG courtesy of Mr. Belding. David Trent, of Park Sterling Bank. Apparently on the ride over to the AO Mr. Belding informed David of what the F of FNG was, military style. We heard it loud and clear as he entered the circle. After basically not telling us much about himself at all, he proclaims this rap his wife came up with about him. I won’t repeat it here. He said it with such finesse though, it was this rapping that instigated his F3 name…Flow. Welcome Flow.
God bless,
Duggar
