An Education in DownPAINment

Things took a different turn today, with many regular PAX out but a crew of newer folks that have not Q’ed I figured a little Q school would go a long way to help these guys feel some ownership and get ready to step up to Q.

The Thang

Slow mosey to benches and on your six for Q School for about 15 minutes.
Ok time for the beatdown…
Mosey to Virtual Shovel Flag since I have not made one and CT was out of town.

COP
Side Straddle Hop x 20
Imperial Walker x 20
Slow Squat x 20

Time to put Q School in action, around the circle with each of the PAX getting the feel for leading a little in cadence.
I can’t remember who did what, there were some SSH’s, IW’s, Flutters, Dollly’s, etc.
Schools out and YHC takes the reigns again…

Mosey to practice field and grab a manly rock and partner up.
P1 does called exercise with rock until P2 returns, P2 runs to half field and back, flapjack
Round 1: curls x 2
Round 2: Tricep extensions x 2
Round 3: Thrust squat x 2
Round 4: Good Mornings x 2
Round 5: Hold the rock out in front of you

Deposit the Rock and mosey to bottom of the hill, on your belly.
Jail break to the VSF
3 MOM
Flutter
Dolly

As Alice Cooper would say, School’s out!

“Tennie Shoes”

How in the world did southerners come up with that? I can see them being called running shoes as a generic term but tennis shoes?

Ahem: Per Wiki (and it’s always reliable)

The word “sneaker” is often attributed to Henry Nelson McKinney, an advertising agent for N. W. Ayer & Son, who, in 1917, coined the term because the rubber sole made the shoe stealthy. However, the word was in use at least as early as 1887, as the Boston Journ made reference to “sneakers” as “the name boys give to tennis shoes”.

So it wasn’t southerners that came up with it, it was the Yankees. 🙂

I think they meant the Boston Journal.

Heck if I know. That’s what we always called them.

Sneakers is a candy bar packed with peanuts.

Or Snickers, it satisfies.

As far as DT’s accusation… heresy!
So people played tennis before running?

Sneakers, running shoes or athletic shoes… Unless you are playing tennis, then I’ll give you a pass.

Whatever we call it, CRM needs them thar sporty shoes.

Indeed.

And the gauntlet has been thrown down.

If we don’t collect as many as Tiger Rag does individually, there may be penalty burpees.

Or better yet we can make Hair Band do regulation PT test with the ruck on.

I liked sitting on my #six. lol

By the time it was time to break from the jail I was smoked.

Wish us luck (prayers) with the 5k tonight.
