Blasts at Thunder
Late in the afternoon, this Q needed to get out of his home office, taking a break from reading, studying and testing with his new job. A quick message to John Deere confirmed I was good to go tonight to lead these HIM at Thunder. Planning immediately began with coupons and minimal running. John Deere teased the PAX on social media with a guest appearance Q tonight at Thunder. Love Deadpool btw.
EC: Peeping Tom
FNGs: None
Warm Up: Rams, Kubota and Dutch Oven found the shovel flag and saw my trunk open filled with assorted coupons. When asked if there was going to be running, Q replied “No, but we are going to be carrying a shitload.” Watch hit 1900 and Pax of 7 moseyed to the tennis courts. Peeping Tom had planted the seed of 12 after discussing the great Tom Brady and our love of The New England Patriots. The following exercises were completed in cadence with 12 reps: Fabio Arm Circles, F/B; daisy pickers; overhead claps; Imperial Walkers and 25 SSH. Some Michael Phelps thrown in for good measure.
The Workout: PAX were instructed to choose a coupon from Dauber’s car. Most senior PAX chose first. Respect your elders. One PAX had to grab a portable soft bag cooler full of cold G2 and water. Last PAX had to grab the shovel flag. The mission was to grab the gear and carry it to various parts of Womble. Coupons consisted of wrapped/coiled fire hoses, dumbbells. (PAX did not grab kettle bells or water stick). Mosey to shelter. Set gear down. Commenced with up an over picnic tables . Held Al Gore until all PAX finished stepping up and down tables. Grabbed wall for BTTW for 12 count, people’s chair 12 count, Rinse and repeat for 24 count. Found a picnic table for 12 reps of erkins, Derkins and dips. Grabbed a different coupon and mosey to amphitheater. Set coupons on stage and PAX began L and R step-ups, 12 reps each side. PAX grabbed coupon and set it down in front of them. Began toe taps on coupon for a 12 count cadence. Rinse and repeat after moving two spaces to the left. PAX had option of carrying coupon while executing the leg-ups 12R & 12L. Toe taps again on the ground. Dropped coupons and headed to the wall for Australian Mountain Climbers and People’s Chair 12 cadence count, proceeded to execute 12 merkins, 12 WWIIs and 12 LBCs. Lots of blasts coming from Q during these reps (something I ate?); Regardless, PAX showed no fear and pressed on through some added noise, giggles and grins. Rinse and Repeat. Mandatory hydration break. Mosey to the side entrance of the pitch with coupons in hand executing curls for the girls or John Cusack. Once we got to the opening, dropped coupons and performed 12 counts of plank jacks, 12 Midget/Smurf jumping jacks, and 12 Frankenstein’s. Storms rolled in clearing the kids off the pitch. Rinse and repeat, looked at time and began our trek back to the shelter, singing and airborne Jody in the rain. Mumble chatter about the time left. All good.
Mary: circled up for some yoga, merkins, low-slow flutter, box-cutters.
Announcements: Support the Derek Davis run on Thursday at the shoe tree lamppost and the run on Saturday, run it or volunteer if you are in town; F-3 Dad’s camp; buy your 9/11 shirt; discussed the importance of wearing ID, letting Q know any injuries, ailments, allergies etc. See Slack/FB

Prayer: Kids heading back to class/school, the Berger family – May the doctors find a better treatment for Michelle (shout out to all PAX who contributed miles/money) for their trip to Mayo Clinic; Unspoken. Dauber led us out.
