No Frills, Just Thrills at Disney

19 PAX for multiples of 56 at Disney. Indian runs and classic F3 exercises took us 3 miles around the park. Solid work by all! Great way to celebrate 56 years. Pleasure to lead.

EC: UTI, Maybelline, Nemo, Fanny Pack, YHC

ME: @Warren Brendle @LipSync @Fanny Pack @Banana Seat @U.T.I. @Bobby Dall @Bobby Boucher @Kosher @Fancy Feast @187 @Nemo @Mookie @Maybelline @Roger Roger @Fanny Pack @Banana Seat @Lipstick @Warbucks YHC

Today’s theme: 56 in recognition of my 56th bday.

Warm up: 14×4 = 56 – 14 good mornings, 14 goofballs, 14 arm circles, 14 somethings

Kickoff: At any site, you gotta use your resources. Here at Disney, I love the artificial turf.

In a format similar to 11s, we lined up for burpees on one side and select exercises on the other side. Reps of burpees times other side reps = 56

  • Round 1: 1 burpee, run to opposite, 56 SSHs (1×56)
  • Round 2: 2 burpees, run, to opposite, 28 squats (2×28)
  • Round 3: 4 burpees, run to opposite, 14 Turkish getups (4×14)
  • Round 4: 8 burpees, run to opposite, 7 mtn climbers (8×7)

Indian run to carpool drop-off circle.

  • Divide into groups of 4/5.
  • Sevens (7s) with WWIIs at bottom, star jumps at top, GO!

Indian run, split into two groups, back to turf center circle.

Mary: Just enough time for a full round of Jack Webbs (30). This is one of my Disney favorites that I learned at one of Nemo’s workouts. Another good one for that soft artificial turf.

I’ve been ending my Q’s with a blast of classic rock. Today it was Chicago’s 25 or 6 to Four. No particular theme tied in. Spotify played this for me when I was searching songs. This classic is among many, many others that were routinely played on the radio in the 1970s, which was the heart of my childhood (age 5-15). Hope you enjoyed!

Announcements: LipSync shared successful F3 South Wake to support Brandon, who he routinely pushes in Brandon’s wheelchair on runs. Brandon has cerebral palsey and lives with his mother. Her cleaning business is way down due to Covid-19. F3 South Wake more than covered their immediate needs. Also Warbucks announced a challenge at Cletus to earn the Q for U-Turn on Saturday.

Prayer: unspoken

TClaps: All for keeping me motivated. Fanny Pack for the May Challenge–great idea, great execution!

Senior moment…

FNGs: None
Warm Up: None, already warm from the EC or Ruck EC’ers
The Workout: Sprinkler led the rucking crew out for over 3 miles.  YHC took the remainder of the PAX on a mosey down to the Lake and up Bass Lake Rd.  Lots of complaining this morning on the route…Maybelline was particularly salty that YHC didn’t venture too far off from the normal AGS route, however, YHC hadn’t been at AGS all year, so it was new to him :).  Great work by all today, picking up the six and general banter and mumble chatter.  YHC closed with the count and announcements, moving to prayer, he was reminded by Pikachu that he had yet to do name o’rama…we all forget sometimes, right?  Closed with prayer requests and then pledge of allegiance.  YHC was informed by POTS that May is Military Appreciation Month, so I recommend all Q’s to say the pledge post COT to close as a great reminder of the men and women who have served and continue to serve our nation everyday.
Announcements: Sleep in Heavenly Peace opportunity to serve
T-Claps (Recognition): Bobby Boucher for hard work and determination!

After completing the Burpees, the last guy runs to catch the group, tapping the (new) last Pax on the shoulder, who then stops to begin his 5 Burpees, while the (former) last guy continues on to the front of the line. Continue until all Pax have performed a set of Burpees or until the Q calls it.

The elusive albino deer
