Glow Ball

December 17, 2018/in Paradise City /QIC: Dawgpound
PAX: Blue Hen, Brony, Chips, Cowboy, Dawgpound, Doc, Emeril, Homie, Ironic, Lipstick, Lucky Charms, M4L, Moby, Peak Week, Pumpkin Spice, Shredder, Skidmark, Slide Rule, Straight Cash, Tailpipe, UTI, Wiggly, Yogurt

Dawgpound posting for Blue Hen

Warm Up:

The Q welcomed the two FNG’s (Tailpipe and Homie) to the group, short disclaimer, and then it was time to get moving. After a few up and down running the hill near the basketball court the PAX were lead to the Salmander HSHM Finish line ramp.

Boat Canoe X 20 (Fan Favorite)
Little Baby SSH X 20 (The old Q had some low mumble chatter about winging the Q… c’mon man you know better)
Good mornings X 20
Merkins X 20

The Workout:

From the bottom of the ramp broad jump burpees were called out. An audible was called to stop half way and run up to the top of the ramp. Plank hold for the six and we were off to the wall. People’s chair Indian run for one round and then a group run down to the basketball courts.

Everyone got in groups of three while the Q ran to get a glow soccer ball out from the bush it was hidden in prior to the start of the fun. When Q’ing I enjoy trying out new things. Crab soccer was a success and the PAX has enjoyed Ultimate Frisbee so Glow Basketball made sense to introduce. The PAX dived into three groups. Group one would run around Ting park. Stopping at the bottom of the ramp for 10 burpees, top of the ramp 20 merkins, and top corner 10 more burpees before returning to the courts. The other two faced off on an intense game of Glow Ball. Rules: Double full court (either basket on each side counted), no dribbling or running with the ball, if the ball hit the ground, everyone did a merkin and the other team got the ball, if a team scores, the other team had to do a burpee (there were not many scores).

Observations from Glow Basketball: 1. The Southwake Pax have very limited basketball abilities 2. Dawgpound brings the intesity just like Ultimate 3. The SouthWake Pax can’t jump 4. Playing basketball in the dark makes it very difficult to know what team you are on 5. Emeril should stick to hockey.

After each group did their run around Ting park that was a wrap with 10 minutes for Mary and COT.

Mary:

6 inch leg hold (10 count) right into 33 inch leg hold (10 count) right into 45 inch leg hold right into American Hammers (10 count) right into Freddie Mercury (10 count) right into boat canoe (10 count).

Prayer:

It is always an honor to lead this group. Prayers were lifted for CrabLegs, Ausfart, and those unspoken.

Warm Up: Side Straddle Hops, Frankensteins, Right over left, Reverse, Burpees for the late ones

The Workout: We decided to play it safe and stay on the well lit streets so we could see the ice. Following Main St down to the carwash near townhall and continuing on to Womble. Everyone was told to set the distance to OYO. Some turned at the carwash, others at Hunt, and some folks took a spin around the park before heading back. The Q (YHC) went back for the “six” from the carwash to make sure everyone knew the turning spots for 3 vs 5 miles.

There was a john stop attempted but there was a paper supply issue…

Mary: Nope

^^^ Nick Offerman, the morning after his bourbon by the fire. R4TJ brought it!

Warm Up: 22 degrees outside let’s get warm – Side Straddle Hops, Daisy Pickers, Stretching – Enough standing still… let’s move!

The Workout: Since Crossway was last week and its so dark out we opted for a run down Main. The route stretched into Womble where we took the big loop and came back to Ting. We each came in between 3.1 and 5.5 miles.

Mary: Enough about Mary! We get it, there is just something about Mary…

Announcements: The title of this post is a joke but in all seriousness we had a fall this morning. I believe they are OK but remember to wear your lights (I didnt this morning) and watch your footing. This case was kind of a freak accident (they were wearing their light) but we are approaching the colder months and ice is gonna get real. You can’t always see ice, leaves are down, etc. Be careful!

Prayer: Quiet group this morning, lots of shivering, not much else.

Welcome FNG (or as he said, PNG) Fancy Feast. Another Woodcreeker in the mix – we might need multiple clown cars one of these morning. We are glad to welcome you!

Warm Up: Jogged around the starting lot and circled up on the other side of the half pipe. SSH, Fazio Arm Circles, Moroccan Night Clubs, Good Mornings. Jogged over to next lot for SSH and arm stretches. YHC was so tired from a really long day and late night that one count somehow only went to 9, but we kept moving.

Drop to plank hold for the 6, then merkins x10 on my down, followed by a set of LBCs then everyone’s favorite, turned over for back planks. On my go, up and sprint back to start, plank for 6, merkins x8, back plank and repeat. Went down to 4 and back up to 10. 8 sprints. Recover on the jog back to start lot, lined up bottom of hill. Bear crawl up, plank hold for the 6, then merkins x10 and crawl bear back down. 8 merkins at bottom, back up for 6. You get the point. “Broken” Jack Webs on a 1:3 up to 10:30 merkins:air press.
