This could be the year!

22 Cubs fans, still fired up from Jake Arrieta’s no-hitter vs the Reds last night, posted in the late April gloom with the threat of rain looming.  No SF – Chelms?  Scabby was actually on time, but tagged him as LIFO out of habit.  Actually Jamboree and Philmont shared LIFO honors.  Come to find out Centurion was Philmont’s 2nd choice after The Brave, but they left without him.  That hurts Philmont….not really, and glad to have you join the Centurion pax brother.

Anyway, it started raining about 5:28, and after YHC shared Fire Marshall Bill’s temporary blindness story with the pax as part of the disclaimer, we took off for Cerberus or whatever the parking deck is called.

The Thang:

Run a few levels up and circle up for COP (this is when Jamboree and Philmont caught up).

Squat x 25 IC

H-R Merkin x 25 IC

IW x 25 IC

High Slow Flutter x 13? IC

Run to the far end of the deck, down the stairs and over to the natatorium lot for some unorthodox work.

Partner up.

P1 jogs down the hill and does backwards bearcrawl back up while P2 does jump squats. Flapjack.

P1 jogs down, backwards lunge walk up while P2 does flutters. Flapjack.

P1 jogs down, walkout merkins with a groiner chaser up the hill while P2 does CDD’s. Flapjack.

P1 jogs down, backwards run up while P2 holds squat position.  Flapjack.

Enough of that silliness.

Jog to main school entrance.

P1 does jump ups on bench while P2 bearcrawls up ramp, 13 donkey kicks at top, lunge walk to stairs.  Flapjack.  Rinse & repeat.

Jog to launch lot for 8 1/2 MoM.

Slow Dolly x 13 IC (YHC testing the torn something or other in the hip – success)

LBC x 25 IC

Plank Wave (think that’s what it’s called) for several rounds

SSH x 49 IC

Done.

COT

Ye Olde Moleskine:

Great to be back at Centurion the last couple weeks off IR, and always love Q’ing the pax.

We’ll start at the end.  The 49 SSH’s at the end were in honor of Chicago Cub Jake Arrieta (#49) tossing a no-no last night vs the Reds….a fact which no one except Brushback knew nor did any of the pax appreciate it.  Where were you Haze?!  #LETSGO

So Scabby actually arrived before a handful of other pax.  Proud of you brother, but you’re always LIFO.

Philmont – Glad you found a workout this morning.

Pulp Fiction, during the Plank Wave while already struggling to figure out the pattern, decided he would do his own Ring of Fire or some such.  Good humor….always something at Centurion.

Champagne, as is his custom and intrinsic hard-wiring, instructed YHC on the proper way to do a jump-up.  I’m always learning brother.  #coachable

T-claps to Utah and Cane for running in…..I know you wanted more hairburners Utah.  Sorry to disappoint.

Dear Abby, War Baby of course, had never heard of Fire Marshall Bill nor the show “In Living Color”.  Mercy, I’m old….but thankfully there were lots of R’s in the pax today.  YHC has been WD just once…posted at the wrong workout.  Not sure who was WD today – Checkpoint?  Snowflake?  But those 2 put many of us Non-R’s to shame out there.  Good work men.

Good to see Mildew back at Centurion…maybe he’s been there all along…YHC hasn’t been.

Anyway, hope you men got your money’s worth.  Thanks to Margo and Chelms for the honor of Q’ing.

Announcements:

F3 Dads at the Knights game – Sat, May 14th – signup by April 28th.  YHC is HC.

F3 Dads camp again in August at Camp Thunderbird.  Keep your eye out for signups.  It’s a great time fellas, and remember your kids spell love – TIME.

Chelms and Margo recruiting for Q’s.  Fire Marshall Bill is overdue, and he promises no blindness-inducing downpainments.

Thanks to McGee for his prayer and lifting YHC up.

GO CUBS!

I thought it was Jamboree that went to The Brave first but maybe that’s why both were late.
It’s Tartarus.
Good response after COT and now have Q schedule filled until mid June. Anyone wanting spot after that should contact me or Margo and we’ll get you slotted in.
