I’ve never seen a fart move a workout

/in , /by

Q-swap week leaves a lot up in the air. How many are going to post at the Q-Swap? How many will post here? Who just wants to run miles. I was a bit uncertain on how many Pax would post at TBD on this foggy, warm, muggy Wednesday, but after the discombobulation that is R4TJ I knew things were going to be looking up in the number of Pax posting. What I didn’t expect was the stench that followed one of our Pax. Literally moved the workout. Unheard of! A southwake first. Congrats Lipstick!

One More Round!

/in /by

YHC has been commuting all week to CarPex and this would be the final round. No one had signed up to Q Phoenix as of last Sunday so Sliderule and I decided to co-q it. However, he could not make it happen with a new baby not cooperating. YHC knew of a fellow HIM that wanted a piece of the action so we were covered. YHC arrived at 0545 to scope out what Phoenix looked like in the gloom. Quickly set up tokens at community center and went to the gathering spot. After a 2+ mile trail run in the dark (stupid), we arrived to a lot filled with PAX ready to work. 1 FNG was present so the disclaimer was given and we were off.

FNGs:
Lobsta (Boston native, navy guy, water, accent from Boston and a lobster…you had to be there)

Warm Up:
Warm up over to community center parking lot where YHC set up floor agility ladders and cones. Two lines went through 3 times for some feet work with hops at the end.
Circle up
Frankensteins x15IC
Bat Wings x20IC (4 exercises)
Imperial Squat Walkers x20IC
Reverse Carolina Dry Docks x10 on Q’s up/down

The Workout:
Mosey to rock pile and grab a token. Head to large field at bottom of THE HILL.

Prayer:
Skipper’s ruck bday, HowHow mother passed and PAX support for that event, New baby coming soon, Unspoken

YHC thought on the commute this morning about how fast time goes by. The Bible tell’s us that no one knows when the lord will return but he will come quickly. Let’s live in the now and not for what the future holds. Love those around you. Give a hug to those you care about each day. It’s such a blessing to have loved ones in our lives.

Thanks CarPex for hosting such an awesome week with 7 AO’s we all could come together to get stronger. We look forward to having the favor returned next week. And don’t worry about UTI’s comment during the pray Friday. I know you’ll bring it.

BS Out!

QSWAP DAY 5: UTI ….. FOREVER MORE….

/in /by

A pre-blast was sent to Carpex and South Wake looking for support for the to-be Q at Dazed and Confused.  With the numbers that these two regions have the potential to bring, YHC thought this was an appropriate time to swallow his pride and make the request for a name change.  I know… I know… I’m Good Enough, I’m Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!  But if there was ever a time to get the votes I needed, it would be today.  And hey, I’ve heard some of the mumblechatter about South Wake naming.  Peeping Tom’s name got shortened to PT when he moved to Carpex – Carpex will be sympathetic to my plight…. right?

1000 HCs were requested, the votes came in…

Carpex –

  • 10 HCs
  • 4 Laughed with me (I think)
  • 1 SC
  • 2 “Peeing” emoji – inappropriate!!!  EXACTLY THE SORT OF THING I’M TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM!!!  Calm…  Calm…
  • 1 “No Entry” emoji – I assume this just means no, I’m not trying to enter anything…  Minds in the gutter in this region…

SouthWake

  • 8-ish HCs
  • A whole bunch of protests –  “We Love You UTI… Never change..” stuff like that
  • A threat that I would be “Getting an English Ripping” – Australians… Am I right?

As 187 commented on the pre-blast, “UTI ….. FOREVER MORE….”

***I had no intention of changing my name.  Do we even have 1000 PAX between our 2 regions?  If 1000 had HC’d or shown up I might have had to change my name… I mean that would be some vote!  This exercise was for fun and a mockery of those posts you often see out on the social medias.  I scouted the FB pages of some of my elderly relatives for research and treaded lightly around the ones that focus on serious illnesses.  This was my inspiration 😀

 

EC: Warbucks, Full House, The Joker, 187, Skidmark, Lipstick, Pikachu

FNGs: Too Scared…

Q-Swap Week – Disturbing the Peace

/in /by

YHC hasn’t Q’d in a while and was eager to knock the dust off for Q-Swap. A workout was planned to handle a large crowd and to minimize the mumblechatter. Carpex is a difficult group to slow down. 13 for EC (of course SW PAX went for a run), 38 for the main event.

FNGs: Nope

ECP: Wahoo, Hamm, The Joker

EC: 2 milers: Warbucks, UTI, Slide Rule, Full House, Kosher, Redenbacher, Lipstick, 187

7.5 miles: Revere, Hanson

Warm Up:
YHC decided to start off on a high note with the slaughter starter (20 burpees OYO) to kill the mumblechatter before it really started. It slowed them for a bit before they were begging for a pledge and some good mornings.

A quick pledge of allegiance at the shovel flag and we were off on a mosey for carioca, side shuffles, butt kickers, etc. Circled up in the lot beside CC Jones park for:

Good mornings (SW style of course)
Goofball
Windmill
Sir fazio arm circles
Seal claps

Mosey back to shovel flag.

The Workout:
Thang 1:
Partnered up with PAX from rival territory for Flat tires across long parking lot with each partner working from 4:1 to 40:10 (wheelbarrow steps:merkins). When form broke down, YHC called recover and we mosey’d around to the other side of the church.

Thang 2:
Circled up for Howling Monkeys. 2 rounds were performed with each PAX doing 10 monkey humpers while other PAX held monkey humper starting position. Big circle, so we spawned off 2 active PAX. Slide Rule had enough and tried to stop the howling, but we continued for round 2. PAX then tried to mosey around to the other side of the building. It was at this point that Burt admired YHC’s pants and suggested I went shopping with M4L.

Thang 3:
Evolution of man (crawl, walk, run) x2 rounds

Line up on end of parking lot
Bear crawl to first island
15 merkins
Lunge walk to light pole
15 squats
Sprint to other side of lot
15 shoulder taps
15 WWIIs
*Repeato*

Mary:
Alphabet soup (CAPITAL LETTERS)
LBCs
American hammers
Hundreds

Mosey back to shovel flag for COT.

Announcements:
Q swap continues at Rush Hour tonight at 1800 (6pm).
New Carpex AO launches tomorrow at Waverly with 3rd F to follow

T-Claps (Recognition):
Carpex PAX for maintaining such a strong level of mumblechatter and living up their reputation.

Prayer:
No prayer requests, YHC took us out.

Thanks for the hospitality Carpex! It was an honor (and a challenge) to lead such a large and chatty group.

Throwback 5 – Day 4 – Disney

/in , /by

Throwback 5 appears to be working just as planned.  End the decade and start a new one with 5 convergences at the “Original 5” Southwake AOs.  Today was Disney’s turn.  YHC turned to Kid Cracker to co-Q with me as we were the Site’s initial Qs.  I always loved Q-ing with Kid Cracker as there would be diversity in the body parts worked and lots of good mumblechatter.

It was a cloudy, 37 degree Thursday morning as YHC approached a gathering crowd in the Middle Creek Park parking lot.  The glows of at least one (Redenbacher) Pax member finishing EC could be seen.  The original Southwake Shovel Flag was planted, fists were bumped and Kid Cracker got us going!

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Short fellowship jog (0.33 miles) around the dark soccer field – we continued this mosey to the small parking lot adjacent to the baseball field house – where we circled up

  • Partner1 partner carry Partner2 the long distance up the hill in the parking lot.  Resting or alternating as needed
  • Disclaimer was issued by Kid Cracker “if you have back problems, knee problems or are on your (menstrual) cycle – you can lunge walk”  Classic 🙂
  • Alternative to partner carry was lunge walk half way then catch up on the run
  • At top of hill series of exercises were done (too gassed to remember)
  • Mosey back to bottom of the hill
  • Rince and repeat with alternating pax member
  • Fellowship run back to the park toward the Abyss (7 flights of stairs)

Round 2:  Deadbolt

  • Keep your partner – half the partners would go to bottom of the stair (but stay with your partners) and half stay up top
  • DORA with runners going up/down the stairs.  The DORA was
    • 100 Merkin
    • 200 LBC
    • 300 Squats
    • Ab exercises until the 6 gets up
  • Clockwise and Counterclockwise Indian runs (50-50 split) from the Abyss to the concrete area at the bottom on the half pipe

Mary Poppins

/in , /by

YHC knew the rain would be involved at Paradise City for today’s workout. Time to get creative bc I hate getting soaked during a workout. Pulled in at 0540 to 1 car in the parking lot. I looked up and here comes Pikachu running across the parking lot holding 4 golf umbrellas as YHC asked him to bring. I had 5 myself. One more car rolled in with a couple mins to spare. 4PAX were ready to roll…then we see a white truck approaching follow by another car. We waited with umbrellas up as they parked. No late burpees penalized as YHC was feeling jolly. They looked at us funny when I said grab an umbrella though. This was a Mary Poppins workout. Here’s how the fun took place.
