Knocking off the Rust

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

11 at Disney this morning. YHC was back in action after a long 2 week absence for family vacation. Not many chances to workout on the road so was a great morning to start knocking off some rust.  Crab Legs also returned from a long family vacation to Greece so it was like having 2 FNGs out there.  Solo EC for Nemo.  Great work by 2.0 8-Bit.  The Dawg Pound dropped The HC but was a no show.

Warm Up: Jog around field, circled up in lot for Good Mornings, Windmills and arm/chest stretch. Indian Run to baseball lot for crazy feet, SSH ICx40 and Fazio Arms.

The Workout: Jog to The Abyss, partner up. Each pair completed 100 merkins, 200 squats and 300 LBCs. One partner doing the exercise while the other runs the stairs.  Focus on form and not a race.

Mary: Circled up in tight, shoulder to shoulder plank hold. One man backs out, calls a hold or exercise to be done from plank, and bear crawls around and back. Next man repeats and we went around the circle.

Announcements: Upcoming events follow on facebook, Crab Legs birthday the 14th – RESPECT

Prayer: Crab Legs friend Corey who is fighting ALS, for a strong start for resurrected AO Kenny’s Grave.  YHC took us out in prayer including all those unspoken.

CHiPs Word of the Day:  Realize how important your role as a father can be in your child’s life.  A lot of people, especially women, have daddy issues that result from father’s not fulfilling their role as a Dad the way that they should.  Strive to be the best DAD that you can be everyday and remember that regardless of your situation, you have a Good, Good Father in Heaven that loves you unconditionally.

Nemo – My #1 Fan

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

Pax of 17 showed up in the stifling late week heat as the summer solstice was taking place at Middle Creek as Nemo was back on the Q. Not sure it counts as FNG but the Nemo fan made an appearance to stress the message of importance about hydration and exercising responsibly during the summer heat.  EC credit to 187 (check that pace), Skidmark and Crosby.

Warm Up: On the jog we headed around the main fields but veered off down the greenway and circled up along the main road for SSH ICx15, Good Mornings ICx10, Fazio Arm Circles ICx10 front and reverse, and a series of arms/shoulders/chest stretch.

The Workout: On the jog we headed to the wood rails along the entrance to the start and set up shop for a round of assisted deep squats offset with merkins.  10 count of each and we went 5 rounds. Included a bonus 5 burpees in the middle as H1N1 rolled up a couple minutes late.  On the jog around to what I like to call the lower lot, we set up on the benches for a round of dips offset with squat jumps and merkins. 10 count of each and we went 4 rounds with a recover jog around the lot between rounds 2 and 3. On the jog back to the main field we set up for SSH ICx30 then a round of Jack Webbs at a 1:3 ratio (1 merkin then 3 air press). We pushed this to a 10:30 count.

Mary: Plank-o-rama with plenty of time to work in some tough exercises, each man on a 10 count or IC.

Announcements: Nemo will be out the next 2 weeks so Tha Natural has your Q next week and Yogurt has your Q the week after. July 4th convergence will be at Disney.  Plenty of great options Fri so post (EC Murph at Womble, Crazy Ivan, Cletus, Sheepdog all in play).  Reminder to exercise smart in this heat – be aware of your condition and rest as needed, hydrate throughout the day.

Prayers: A reminder to take time to listen to others and see any signs.  Praise for how F3 guys step up as needed, for each other and for the community.  Plenty of unspoken.  YHC took us out in prayer.
