What time is it?

YHC pulled up and several pax were in their cars as if it was winter and 20 degrees. Eventually, they emerged from their “fartmobiles” as Horsehead calls them; 29 pax mustered (thought it was 28, but I counted 29…might have been 30?).  YHC gave a barely adequate disclaimer under the watchful ears of A51 Nantan Mermaid, and 29 converged Anvil & DV pax launched a humpday assault.

The Thang & Ye Olde Moleskine:

We did several things, some of which I’ll accurately describe below.  Most of the pax did most of the exercises…but some pax were their usual refusenik selves.  It is always interesting to hear the talkative DV pax during the downpainment.  They’ve got a lot to say, so please sound off on this backblast with ruminations and recollections of this morning’s proceedings.

Run down & around to one of the oversized lots that are used once per week for a few hours (and for aspiring drivers like YHC’s 2.0 who now has permit #stayoffthesidewalks).

COP:
Did a number of things x13 (YHC’s favorite #) IC

Slow Jump Squat, CDD, H-R Merkin, Slow Flutter, 6-count burpee, perhaps something else?

YHC then handed off to Header

We ran back to the launch lot, broke into groups of 3 and did 2 or 3 rounds of Dips, Hairburners and Down/Back runs.

Then  we Indian Ran? in groups of 3 over to the rock pile.  Everyone then grabbed a “running rock”, and we did alternating 15 reps of curls & tricep extension at each speed bump along the western road at Anvil.  YHC grabbed probably the smallest rock because running with rocks is just dumb..no offense Header.  Alf told me I was out front only because of my small rock…darn skippy!

Lorax was setting pace, as usual.  Mermaid was conserving energy for his fishing trip.  Rachel & Lobsta must have been injured, and the young ‘uns like LaRonda, Jock Strap, Sweeney Todd & Dollywood must have been modifying as they were not out front. #modifyonlywhennecessary

Header then handed it back to YHC to finish things up.

Tried to do some squat hold overhead press, but the Calvary preschool staff was coming through so we moseyed to a nearby lot for some Mary and core work and such.  Pretty sure we did the following, finishing with Cumberland County Viaducts at Horsehead’s request.

American Hammer, Flutter, Alt. Shoulder Tap while in Plank (somebody please name this!), a bit of protractor work, and something else maybe?

AYG run back to the launch lot with lots of pax mailing it in as no one passed the old & slow Q.

Done.

Count off. Namearama. COT.

Thanks to Lorax for taking us out in prayer.

Announcements:

F3 Golf – Friday, Oct. 27th.  Please sign up so we can raise money and give this thing we all value to other cities/states.  And we all work plenty, take a Friday afternoon off in the fall…you’ll be glad you did.

SFN race in B-tyne on Sept. 30th – Isabella Santos 5K/10K.  Sign up – awesome to see SFN in action, and Tolkien will market the $#!1 out of you if you don’t.

Grateful for all you jokers.  This brotherhood is a blessing to me, and I know it is too many others.

“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.”  Proverbs 17:17

Enjoyed it this morning. T-claps to our Q’s and Dollywood for making these mornings happen. Hated to miss Miss Steele. And, yes, Hops finished us up on time

Name for Alt. Shoulder taps? That sounds like Nipplers with bad aim.
