Library Day Part Deux

/in , /by

shut itFNGs: none
Warm Up: Mosied down Library Hill to the pool parking lot. Circled up for: SSH, Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hill Billies, Windmills, Sir Fazio Arm Circles (forward/back), Seal Claps, Overhead Claps.
Mosied back up Library Hill and met in front of the amphitheater.
The Workout: YHC was looking back through Downtown Train backblasts for inspiration and decided to redo a workout from Nov 2020. It’s not complicated, but it’s effective.

Thing 1: Diamond.
4 exercises, one at each corner. Start with 5 reps, increase by 5 each round, going up to 20 reps. Exercises were Merkins, LBCs, Squats and Side Lunges.

Thing 2: Rocks!
Curls for the Girls, Triceps, Ruh Rohs. 10 in cadence each. Drop the rocks, SSH x10. Repeat two more times.
Mary: WWIIs, American Hammers, Low Slow Flutters, Chill Cut Plank, Pickle Pounders. Wrapped up with some stretches and yoga.
Announcements: Donate blood! Q Source on Wed mornings at Panara
Prayer: Praises for Quiver’s sister on the mend, praises for PAX getting back in the gloom after being out with injury and illness, continued prayers for those still healing.
Moleskin: Sometimes I fall out of the habit of rising early and getting out to an AO. It gets pretty bad if I let it go on for a few days. I have found one way to cure this is to sign up for a couple of consecutive Q spots. The additional accountability that comes with knowing a group of guys is waiting for you to show up and lead is a good motivator to get out of bed. Once you’ve got that ball rolling for a few days, it’s easier to get back into the routine.

Cancun was late – but luckily not pregnant….

“Let this be your outlet”

/in /by

FNGs: None
Warm Up: EC- YHC, Dahmer, Cancun, Yogurt, Swisher Sweets for a 2 mile EC. Also, Java & Warbucks on their bikes.  Nice work & the guys pushed me to the 2 mile PR 9:18 pace.

SSH (20), Frankensteins (10), Good mornings (15) & Willie Mays Hays (10).

The Workout: I decided not to over plan & not print out a sheet. This was a good idea & I didn’t think too much about it. It was time to dive in & focus on my weak points.

Indian run over to the dreaded hill towards Bass Lake/Greenway.

We paired up in twos. 5 rounds of hill sprints (what a rush).

Indian run back to the rock pile. Curls for the girls (20 X 2), tri-cep ext (20 X 2), Ruh Rohs (20 X 1), Bus drivers (20 X 1), shoulder press (20 X 2) & shoulder raises (20 X 1).

Mary: Call arounds at the tennis court. Cancun got us at the end!

Announcements: Run with 3-Alarm (Davis) every Tuesday at 6pm. Lookout for Yogurt’s posts.

My message at the end was “Let this be your outlet”. Tomorrow it will make one year that my family & I have been in HS. Prior, I did not have an outlet, was stressed out, angry & bitter. I would take things out verbally at times on my family. F3 has changed my life in so many ways. Thank you Pax for your friendship! It was an honor to lead this morning!

T-Claps (Recognition): Pumpkin Spice for not backing down & focusing on his weak points too. Boss Hog, Cyclops & Fireball for pushing through it.

Prayer: Cyclops wife, Shredder & many more for their mission trip to Mexico. My M & FIL on their trips home. Safe travels.

So you want to play with my balls?

Thunder YOGA w/ 19 PAX

/in /by

FNGs:  Welcome Jukebox, future patrolman who loves to sing.  Thanks for bringing this young man out Pumpkin Spice.  Good to see your college basketball playing, former HS Hawk XC star, Cobbler, out to the gloom too.
Warm Up:  many PAX participated in VC.  Bike ride +10 miles.  PAX moist.
The Workout:  YOGA, much needed.  Look, I will simply attach a pic of the movements we executed.  Special thanks to Cancun who provided the play by play and color commentary of all the moves attempted.  I tried finding the prisoner terminology he used on this sheet I downloaded from the internet but was unable to locate the verbiage.  I will defer to Cancun for his intimate experiences.  Quite flexible for a 6’4” 260 pound dude.  Awesome.  The much anticipated spread Eagle was executed flawlessly by many.  Only a few PAX let out some flatulence.
Mary:  lots of stretching, balance stuff.  Full 45 mins of pure awesomeness IMO.
Announcements:  CSAUP, Murph, bed build, 5Ks, see Slack/FB
T-Claps (Recognition):  Happy Birthday Cancun!  All PAX killing it during May challenge.  Remember to listen to your body and REST.
Prayer:  Interrupted by geese, goslings and churlish children, YHC chided them and finished up in thoughtful, loving prayers only a seasoned parent could pull off.

Honored to lead – Dauber.
