Between marathon training and dealing with a host of injuries (I’m a full-time member of team Hypochondriac, captained by Judge Judy) I have not been a regular Boot Camper, nor have I Qed in quite some time. So… With the Q sheet being as bare as it is, I figured today was as good as any day to knock the dust off and Q.

Conditions: Not too shabby

Disclaimer: given

Warm-Up: just to make sure I can still mess up getting the exercises started.
SSH x 20 IC

The Work:

Pair up for 7 minute AMRAPs at each station

Station #1: At the top of the Concrete Monster
Pax 1 does 5 Navy Seals at the top of the steps while Pax 2 goes down the steps to the practice field and does Big Boy Sit-ups until Pax #1 comes to swap out.

Station #2: At the back of the school
Pax 1 does 10 Decline Merkins at the benches while Pax 2 goes to the end of the sidewalk and does Flutter Kicks until Pax #1 comes to swap out.

Station #3: At the back corner wall of the school
Pax 1 does 20 Australian Mountain Climbers (Sour’s favorite exercise) while Pax 2 goes up the stairs and does American Hammers until Pax #1 comes to swap out.

Station #4: At the student Parking Lot
Pax 1 does 5 Diamond Merkins at the 4th light while Pax 2 goes to the curb and does leg raises until Pax #1 comes to swap out.

Station #5: At the front of the school
Pax 1 does 20 dips on the benches while Pax #2 does LBC’s until Pax #1 comes to swap out.

Count-o-rama

Announcements:
* Nothing earth shattering. Mainly just a reminder to post and sign up to Q somewhere.

Prayer Requests:
* Nothing specific mentioned, but we all could use a little prayer.

NMS:
* I pull into the parking lot behind Tickle and even though there’s another car in the parking lot I was figuring we were the first ones there. Mainly because I didn’t recognize the car and it was dark enough inside that you couldn’t see anyone in there. Plus, it’s not unusual for an empty car to be left in the parking lot overnight. But as I’m getting out to go stand with Tickle under the light out of the shadows pops Spud. With no hoodie. Good to have you back out with us.
* Of course, since I have not been a Boot Camp regular I noticed a couple of other newer faces in the group. It’s good to have some fresh faces in the crowd, so keep EHing the guys out there that need a little F3 in there lives.
* Duggar showed up wearing his Mr. Clean costume. Actually he was wearing the tactical vest he procured from Mr. Clean. And of course he still lead from the front.
* Navy Seals take a little coordination to do, so when someone is doing them for the first time you see some interesting form. Sour wins the prize with what we’ll just call butt kickers.
* It’s music to my ears when you stop at a specific location to do an exercise and the Pax start cheering because they already know what’s coming. Which happened when Sour expressed his joy when I stopped the group at the back wall. He as excited as a kid trick or treating in Center Court when I called for Australian Mountain Climbers. He must have a little aborigine in him too.
* Someone made the comment about there being a lot of running in today’s workout and when I replied “The guy with the broken femur agrees” (not an exact quote) Blu brought my Team Hypochondriac membership into question. He insinuated that there’s some sort of limit to how long one can use an injury as an excuse. I beg to differ. Some injuries never heal.
* Solid work put in by all today.

Until the next Q,
The Meter is paid in full…
