Mary Mary and More Mary at Thunder

/in /by

17 Pax posted. Great Q by Rams

EC: Boy George, Emeril, Skidmark

Warm-up

Mosey to the soccer fields for warmup. SSH, FO arm circles, cotton pickers, imperial walkers, hillbillies. Partner up based on overall ability. Split partners into 2 teams to get evenly matched teams.

Main workout

Each team did a count off to get a number assigned to the pax, and had to perform 20 exercises 1 pax at a time. The pax would bear crawl 10 yards, then sprint to the other end of the soccer field, do the exercise associated with their number (or multiple of that number), then sprint back. Then the next pax would go. The remaining pax would do either 10 merkins, 10 ww2, 10 lsf in cadence, or 5 burpees and then do a squat hold until the pax doing the exercise returned. The 20 exercises were plank jacks, American hammer IC, diamond merkins, monkey humpers IC, Homer to Marge IC, burpees, Turkish get ups, LBC IC, left arm plank hold IC, right arm plank hold IC, star jacks, Carolina dry dock, pickle pounder IC, chilly jacks, Freddie Mercury IC, jump squats, wide arm merkins, Peter Parker IC, deep squats, box cutters. Each was a set of 5. When the team finished all 20 exercises, they ran to the other end of the soccer fields at Womble, and then did a 1 loop Indian Run back to the flags.

Mary

We then did an extended Mary with each Pax contributing 2 exercises for a 5 count each.

Community Suzie Q

/in /by

PAX of 6 came out and enjoyed the nice cool, disgustingly humid morning

Warm Up:

SSH, IW, HB, Windmills, Good Mornings, Fazio Arm Circles and some stretches

The Workout:

Picnic table merkins, dirkins and irkins x20 with a mix of abs x15

Mosey’d to the rock pile and picked up two rocks (or in R22’s case, boulders) and moved to the picnic tables. Started with Curls for the Girls x15 and an ab exercise and moved to the next rocks in line. Each PAX called a rock exercise to lead with abs/merkins twice around the horn.

Finished with 177 Merkins.

Mary:

Around the horn for Mary: Burpees, LBC, Dying Cockroach, more Merkins, and some more that I cannot recall!

Announcements:
Discussion on the great time PAX had at the Day in the Park and hope that it will be an annual event.

Prayers:  DoubleD nephew – back home and at his old job. R22 brother diagnosed with Huntington’s Chorea.

Ultimate beat down at Thunder

/in /by

12 Pax gathered at Thunder for what was promised to be an Ultimate (frisbee) beat down. We moseyed over to the turf fields to mark off a field with some cones and do a few warm up exercises:

10x SSH IC

10x Fazio Arm Circles IC, both directions

The pax were conveniently wearing 6 red shirts and 6 non-red shirts, so no skins were needed. Teams were made and we were off.

Rules were simple, any time the disc hit the ground (after kickoff) all Pax had to perform 3 Merkins before they could do anything else. When a team scored the scoring team/Pax called out an exercise for 10 reps, following which the team that was scored on walked to the other side and play resumed with a “kick” off. After a close game (red won 6-5) we wrapped up with some Mary:

Low slow flutter x10 IC

Standard Merkin (on my down and my up) x7 to get us to our 167 target for the day.

Announcements – Day in the park, July 4th convergence.

Prayers – Shredder with praise for support for mission trip.

Shredder took us out – great work (and tons of fun) men!

 

 

Birthday Surprise at the nut

/in /by

21 pax gathered to help YHC celebrate his 28th birthday – a good handful ran a funky EC route that Slide Rule came up with. 5:30 arrived and we were off with no FNG’s.

Group mosey to the basketball goal/playground circle, with kareokee and backwards runs along the way.

Warmup:
SSH x28 IC
Fazio arm circles x14 IC forward and backward
Standard Merkin x28

The first thing:
Pax got with an accountability partner for laps around the track, being told to push it all out there as there would be breaks between. Lap 1 was 7 burpees at each corner (total of 28) with LBCs x30 (YHC lost count) followed by pickle pounders x28 IC. Lap 2 was 7 turkish getups at each corner followed by Freddy Mercury’s x28 IC.

The second thing:
The pax then got to learn about Pikachu’s birthday surprise – another Q! 187 took over and moseyed us over to the bricks. All pax got two bricks – exercise 1 was a brutal wheelbarrel with brick in each hand march (hands coming out straight every “step”) with squats when breaks were needed. Pax went the length of the parking lot and then swapped. Exercise 2 was a reverse crab walk with bricks in hand the length of the parking lot. Bricks were returned and then it was time for….

The third thing:
The third Q was Skidmark. We went over to the playground for some 7s – pull ups and jump squats, alternating and adding up to 7. Skidmark then broke out his math skills and informed us that that was 21 of each, so we did 7 more of each to hit lucky number 28. We moseyed to the front of the school for a merkin clock where Skidmark impressed all by a)not stopping and b) calling for recovery on the one armed plank.

YHC lead some mary and took us out.

Words can’t express how much each of you and F3 mean to me – I’m a better man because of all of this and I’m grateful to have all of these HIMs in my life.

PS – Only two more years of hate 😉
