Promises and Threats
12 men and “mans best friend” posted up on a misty morning at Womble, DETERMINED to get stronger. Beautiful sky with eerie clouds as YHC finished up the lone EC and the sun came up today. We…are so small! Throughout the workout, several quiet but notable moments took place as we made our way through this AO site that has so many options.
FNG’s: nope
Warm Up: It’s official… some pax think YHC’s voice is too loud for the neighbors. I’ve heard the mumbling gents… and might…lower the volume. SSH, GM’s, Sir Fazios F/R, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps. All IC. Mosey to the other lot for Frankenstein’s.
The Workout: Think this May be some variation of “curb appeal” as Deadbolt mentioned that term twice during the Thang. Pax line up in parking spots. Wide Grip Merkins followed by bear crawl across, on to Irkins on the curb, into WW2’s, on to a lunge walk back. Started with 5 count of exercises. Repeato each time going up to 10,15, 20 reps each exercise. This was done with 25 LSF’s IC as an audible.
Indian Run- 2 Squads.
Groups Indian run opposite ways on the track til impact. At each impact point, YHC called some exercises. 30 squats, 20 merkins, 10 squat jumps, 5 burpees. So we did 4 rounds of this.
At some point, FloJoe disappeared to lose a little weight in newly opened facilities at the parks. Yogurt, like the Master he is, kept track and got FloJoe back to the rocks.
At the rocks, all pax chose carefully. Each pax calls an exercise for the group to do AMRAP whilst he runs a parking lot loop. Notably, POTS being the first to call burpees…leading the youngsters of the group to follow suit at some point. POTS… way to be an example to them! Call out burpees=nobody likes you. But we’re not here to be liked! Snap called bus drivers, but he’s fast… thank God! FloJoe having lost 2 pounds during the facility trip found newfound creativity and called for Sweat Angels with Rock. Just before finishing, Mookie turned to YHC and said, “ if you call burpees this last round I’m punching you in the face”. YHC obliged, called burpees, accepted the “poke the bear” challenge, and mentioned in departure for the loop, “I guess were fighting when I get back!”
Rocks finished, we moseyed back to the flag for Mary. I mean, the rest of the pax moseyed…Mookie….ran….hard! He caught up with Sprinkler and two of them were in pretty full stride pushing each other to the end! Way to challenge, poke, and push people to get better today Mookie!
Mary: Doc led Mary with some LSF’s, Boat/Canoes, and some LBC’s IC. Solid work all around. And in the words of Tetanus, “ that was a little bit of everything.”
Announcements: Sign up for the Rune. Doc is looking to some usual suspect pax at TBD to step up and join YHC as the new site Q’s.
T-Claps (Recognition): Mookie for challenging others to be better, stronger, faster.
Prayer: Keep yourself safe as you return to the new normal. My daughter Julia. Our Nation, our leaders, people who are sick or afraid. God commands us not to be afraid, but we need His strength and others when it’s tough.
