Shake(N Bake) a leg, let’s run!

Shake(N Bake) a leg, let’s run!

First time at Q at possible new AO, don’t be late right? NOPE! The Q came in on two wheels at 5:16 for the 5:15 workout. A well placed “I will be late text” kept things moving until the tardy Q joined the PAX. Thanks Madison for keeping things moving.

The Thang:

A short mosey was taken to a quiet spot where the disclaimer was given.

COP (In Whisper Cadence)

Side Straddle Hops X 20

Imperial Walkers X 20

Mountain Climbers X 15

That’s enough of that stuff. Mosey from the start of Weddington Ridge Lane to the end of Weddington Ridge Lane. At the end of the street do 10 Merkins and ping pong back to pickup the six. Now that we are all together again, get into plank position for what was affectionately called Shake N Merks X 10 in cadence.

Alright, let’s mosey on over to the street that one of the PAX lives on to wake up his neighbors. They should love him for that. Mosey to the middle of the road and split off into partners. Partner One runs back to the stop sign and performs 20 Bomb Jacks. Partner Two runs in the opposite direction to the end of the road and performs 20 Monkey Humpers. After each person finishes the called exercise, they start to run back in the direction of the other. When the partners meet, they perform together 5 Partner Burpees. Flipflop and repeat until time is called.

After the “fun” workout(as Gypsy kept calling it) was over, the PAX return back from whence they came making sure to ping pong back to pick up the six. We all got to meet Mary together.

Mary consisted of a couple of stretches that should help on the ride home for a couple of PAX(me included). I do not know the name of the stretch, so I will describe it. Get into plank position, raise your right leg up in the air, draw your right leg forward while bending at the knee, pull your knee forward underneath you body while resting on your arms and your left leg stretched out. For more of a stretch, lean down on your forearms. Flip flop legs and repeat. Now for the Honeymooner. Stand, put your feet shoulder width apart and bend over slowly to touch the ground to stretch. Finally, while standing cross right leg over the left and bend over to touch your toes to stretch. Flip flop and repeat. And we’re done.

Moleskin

It was a great effort by all. The temp was in the 40’s but the burning desire to better ourselves kept us warm. A very special shoutout to Bullwinkle and Radar, those guys are really stepping it up. Thanks to Madison and Smokey for setting a good pace to challenge and to keep the group close. Thanks to Nomad for the headlamp he fashioned from a Stadium Light, he looked like a car coming down the street. I got to get me one of those. Thanks for the push Arsenal and Gypsy. And thank you to anyone I left out.

Don’t forget the Union County Happy Hour is tonight(11/16/2017). Come on out and be seen in clean clothes to fellowship. It’s at Hickory Tavern in Wesley Chapel off of Hwy 84 in front of Target from 7:30-9ish.

Please make sure you try to get some plastic grocery bags to Gypsy. He is helping out a group in SC that are taking the bags and making them into mattresses for the homeless.

There will be several Turkey Trots and F3 pickup football games. Stay posted on Facebook, Twitter, and Slack for details. Ballantyne will be having a Turkey Trot that Speed For Need will participate in, they are in need of riders for the chariots.

Area 51 Christmas party on December 6th or 8th. $20 a person, food is covered.

Thank you everyone for letting me lead you. I apologize for being late again.
