I’ve Got Big Balls
FNGs: None
Warm Up: Wicked excited for cooler temps (60’s)! PAX of 7 came out to the Trot for a Dauber beatdown. Lots of great AOs happening in South Wake today. Honored to lead these HIM in the Quay. The Garmin glowed 5:30 and we were off for a jog around the tennis courts to the snack shack by the lower diamond. Good mornings, SSHs, Daisy Pickers, Sir Fazios and static arm stretching got us warmed up.
The Workout: Asked the PAX what time it was. I said it was 12 o’clock and began clock work merkins. Got through rounds of positions at 12, 10 and 8 with a variety of regular, wide and hand-release merkins. Intent was to go through the remainder of the clock but it simply did not come to fruition. Adapt and overcome. Q had something “fun” planned in the big parking lot for the Main Event. Headed to the wall for up/downs, 10 on each leg OYO. Grabbed the wall for 10 count derkins, merkins and dips. Needed some wall time so headed to the shack. BTTW and People’s Chair 15 cadence count each (3X) back-to-back-to-back. Mosey to the road for Frankensteins, Open doors, bear crawl. Ran backwards and sideways. PAX held plank once reaching the parking lot with the streetlight that went on and off every two minutes. Dauber went to his car and grabbed his treasure he purchased the night before from Walmart: a big yellow bouncy ball! Batter up! The idea was the following: pitcher called out exercise. PAX executed a 10 rep/count. PAX continued with reps except for pitcher and batter. Pitcher rolled ball to batter, batter kicked ball and then ran after it. Once batter reached ball, PAX recovered. Did I say mention this was a big ball? Ever try kicking one of these? The amount of spin and curve was cool. Regardless, I think PAX had fun, or at least pretended to. Lots of various exercises called by rotating pitchers including: goblet squats, prisoner squats, lunges, jumping lunges, star jumps, burpees, diamond merkins, LBCs, Heel tappers, monkey humpers, and a few I simply forgot. Time was running short and headed to tennis courts for Mary.
Mary: Dauber had PAX circle up and called the following 10 count exercises with no stopping: windshield wipers, protractors, H2M, pickle ponders, Box cutters, Supermans, leg lifts, bent leg lifts, WWIIs, cockroaches, plank jacks, mountain climbers…Last few minutes were spent doing yoga with DD, Cobra, Child’s pose and Pigeon.
Announcements: F3 picnic – see google doc. Only 4 people signed up so far to bring something. Sign up.
Introduction of new AOs coming to FV (names, type of workouts, days of the week, Qs etc.)
F2 at Stickboy. (Met up with Farva and Banana Seat) nice surprise. And Norm’s prayer group was rather loud this am; did they miss him already?
T-Claps (Recognition): H1N1 for EC today – solo.
Prayer: Unspoken and spoken; PAX with injuries; family members with illness/cancer; uneasiness at work/heavy schedule coming; marriages (ups/downs). When called upon by others for strength, be that go-to guy. Let them lean on you; be an active listener, be compassionate, show empathy, raise someone up…Dauber took us out.
My time is running out as a co-Q at Possum Trot. I can not tell you how much of an honor it is having you trust in me to lead you at this venue. Thank you brothers. -Dauber
