Warm Up: After an enthusiastic start and 5 burpee penalty, we went on a quick mosey around downtown. Then good mornings, imperial walkers, hillbillies, daisy pickers, sir fazio arm circles, seal claps and overhead claps.

The Workout: Thing 1: PAX were instructed to get a “shmedium” rock. Instructions were apparently unclear and some PAX went big. 30 count curls for the girls / tricep extensions / squats. Bear crawl through the light tunnel in front of the library. 20 count exercises, bear crawl. 10 count exercises, bear crawl. PAX were quizzed on their knowledge of the Boston Tea Party, which happened 251 years ago today in 1773.
We returned our rocks in patriotic tea bashing fashion and moseyed to the half circle.

Thing 2: 10 merkins, lunge walk to center Island, 10 WWIIs, mosey to end of half circle, 10 squats. Repeat twice more for 3 rounds total. Mosey back to the Christmas tree.

Thing 2.5: People’s chair for a 10 count down the line, total of 50, next to the Christmas tree. Back to the start for Mary.

Mary: Popcorn Mary with some quick stretching.

Announcements: Panthers game next weekend. Also, Nemo reminded us of the importance of stretching and how easily we let that go.

Prayer: Pumpkin Spices children, Nemo’s brother-in-law, Best In Show

cicada with eclipse glasses

What do Cicada’s and The View have in common?

PAX: , , , ,

Warm Up:

All exercises (x15)

  • Good mornings
  • Imperial Walkers
  • Hillbillies
  • Mtn. Climbers
  • Sir Fazio Arm Circles

The Workout:

Partner Dora was the name of the game:
1 partner ran to the stop sign and back
– 300 Squats
– 200 LBC
– 100 Merkins

2 rounds
Wall Sits
Erkins / Derkins & Dips

As we over by the half wall doing erkins derkins and dips the mumble chatter started and Nemo got to talking about the cicada’s that are all over our neighborhood. He thought it was some of the construction trucks near by the cicads were so loud! I have to admit these cicada’s are pretty loud. Next, Gizmo chimes in with “you know The View said that Lunar Eclipse has something to do with the 2 different types of cicada’s that are emerging from the ground” I didn’t think to much of it besides the fact that it’s a weird coincidence.

Nemo quickly said, “On a side note, how long have you been watching The View Gizmo?”  We all lost it and had a good laugh.

Mary:

Popcorn Marry – My favorite was Bondo’s “Alex” – A JLo combined with a pickle pounder 🤣

Announcements: UFO every 1st / 3rd and 5th Monday of the month! Watch for 3rd F opportunities with the town that help support our ability to use the fields at Ting for UFO.

T-Claps (Recognition): 3rd Cousin, Bobby Dall and Slide Rule for joining us back in the gloom. Good to see you all again!

Prayer: Midget and his family for their loss.

Thoughts: Midget shared with us at COT that his mom always put others first. He encouraged us to do the same in our own lives, put others first and always give. If you maintain this mindset of others first and use it as your guiding principle, the decisions you make will fall into the right place automatically.

FNGs: none

Warm Up: SSH, Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps, Willie Mayes Hayes

The Workout: Today we followed the dice. Always a fun time (in my opinion at least) because you get to go on a field trip and you never know what you’ll get. Somehow, bear crawls, balls to the wall and absolutions showed up on the dice as well. Weird. About 1.75 miles and a bunch of merkins, side stradle hops and lunges in between.

Mary: LBCs, WWIIs, Homer-to-Marge, Poop Eaters, a bit of stretching

Announcements: Beer ruck on Saturday starting at 12, Spring Classic on Saturday (if you’re not running, help at an aid station)

T-Claps: Slide Rule and Wiggly coming back out to the gloom. Missed ya fellas.

Prayer: Unspoken, Banana Seat’s family
