Civics 101: 535 @ Possum Trot

PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Warm Up:  One lap jogging around the tennis court, SSH, Cotton-Pickers, Good AMs, Fazio Arm Circles, Windmills

The Workout:  Waking up to the midterm election results gave Dauber an idea to introduce a civics lesson digging into our legislative branch.  In honor of having 100 Senators and 435 Representatives, PAX got ready for a beat down that included 535 total reps.  PAX paired up, one PAX grabbing a medium-sized Rock and began the following workout:  100 curls (PAX not curling, bear crawled half the distance of a parking lot); 100 rut-ros (PAX not curling, ran to the end of the parking lot); 100 triceps (PAX not curling ran around the tennis courts); 100 goblet squats (PAX not squatting, ran to the concession stand); 35 Burpees (PAX pushed a rock while bear-crawling half the distance of a parking lot).  Time constraints got in the way of honoring our 100 Senators.  However, nine additional burpees were perforformed OYO in honor of our Judicial  branch (although one PAX suggested there were only five).  PAX held plank until each set was completed.

Mary:  PAX held Balls to the Walls in the tennis courts until all PAX returned their rocks.  Circled up for Mary whereby each PAX performed a 10 rep core exercise that included: box cutters, pickle pounders, canoes, WW IIs, LBCs, pickle pounders, ankle biters, SSH, diamond merkins, blank-ups, low-slow flutters, American hammers, alphabet soup, capital vowels only X2, burpees, etc.

Announcements:  Bottle share this weekend, see FB for location.  HSHM preparation and call for support.

Prayer:  Luke 16:10-13. Whoever is faithful in small matters, will be faithful in large ones…”. CrabLegs, Injured PAX, PAX training for half, Apologies for other prayers spoken (and those prayers unspoken).

The Workout: Started with a nice long stroll around the parking lot – Wheel Barrel style that is; it was long.  Then, Deadbolt said that was not enough arms work, so we did Broke Back Derkins with a 10 count at 3 laps.  Lucky thought that was super easy so next we did the Merkin Shuffle.  Now that our arms were loose we did 7’s across the parking lot with Derkins and Dips.  We jogged to the tennis courts to do Jack Webb’s with a 1:3 ratio; thought we had time to do 20; but we only got to 10.

Fenway Park Celebrated at Possum Trot

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Warm Up:  Jog around the tennis courts; circle up at lower area.  10 counts of each warm-up exercise including fozzy arm circles 10F, 10B, Windmills, Good AMs, Bill Buckner (in lieu of Cotton Pickers – great suggestion Mookie), and 20 SSH

 

The Workout:  Commemorating the Red Sox beating the Dodgers 8-4 in Game 1 of the 2018 World Series, the PAX knocked out 12 burpees OYO.  Q asked if anyone knew the height of the famed Green Monster:  37 feet.  We found a wall and held B2W for a Dauber 37 count.  Partnered up and headed to the paved road.  Fenway Park dimensions were discussed (see image), converted from feet to meters and rounded up/down based on Dauber’s public university education resulting in the PAX completing the following exercises jointly:  100 merkins (right field) while partner ran to the portapotty; 100 squats (left field) while partner bear crawled to/back to the FV sign and 150 LBCs (center field) while partner leap-frogged to the F-V sign, ran back.  Recovery – 10 counts were called out after completion of each shared exercise.  Green Monster back to the wall for B2W, this time with Gump counting to 37.  Gump was feeling particularly cheeky and could not find the numbers after 35 so Dauber called “recover” to the the PAX delight.  PAX moseyed to the Rock pile and circled up with a Med-large rock.  MN somehow ended up at Action Park and the majority of PAX had a chance to exercise with it.  Each PAX called out various 10-count exercises utilizing the rock.  After each rock exercise was completed, Dauber rotated the PAX position.  Exercises included:  curls for the girls, rutt-rows, chest extension, over the head press, tricep curl, one handed rock merkins, squats, Homer to Marge, American hammers (Amazing effort Banana Seat), a Farva Specialty (exercise name forgotten) and another incredible performance by LipSync.  (Rumor has it, he brought over MN from Mutiny).  PAX were entertained with numerous grunts, bodily function sounds, and one-off remarks (raising each other up) during these exercises.  PAX returned rocks to the pile and headed to the tennis courts.

 

Mary:  Each PAX called out a core exercise performing 10 reps.  Exercises included, Alphabet soup, canoe/boat, pickle pounders, burpees, fireman leg movement (ask Gump), wipers, WW IIs, merkins, low/slow flutters etc.

Announcements:  Added new announcement of “recognition.”  Recognized two brothers for completing Carpex CSAUP- great work R-22 and Farva, way to represent SOWake; also recognized LipSync for completing #8 of 12 half-marathons in 2018.  We are surrounded by “awesomeness “ – incredible men doing incredible things.  Well done!  Call out for better attendance at Kenny’s Grave on Th in F-V, HSHM Training, beer tasting/bottle share – Fall beers (check FB), possible screening of the movie Halloween on Oct 30 in HS (see FB)…

Prayer:  Ephesians 4:2. Be always humble, gentle, and patient. Show your love by being tolerant with one another.  Do your best to preserve the unity which the Spirit gives by means of the peace that binds you together.  Lots of injured men, family, friends; prayers for trooper KIA and his family; prayers for Messi 2.0 trying out for middle school athletics; silent prayers.  Double D prayed us out.

Honored and humbled leading this fine group of men as always.  -Dauber
