Canned Ham or a Paver – You decide
23 men of purpose with pure hearts gathered at CCHS for their weekend downpainment at Centurion. The disclaimer was given and a reminder that any man who brought canned ham was allowed to forgo the coupon for the morning. Rock Thrill topped YHC’s can count (50 versus 20) and thus YHC had to carry a larger paver (#Mermaidspecial). Given Rock Thrill more than doubled my count, he could have shamed me into carrying both large pavers but luckily he didn’t think of that. T-claps for the 50 cans and still carrying the paver.
The Thang:
COP – SSHX23 (each man calls out his F3 name in order thus 23), 5 burpees, IW X15, 10 burpees, Squats X15, 15 burpees.
Grab a paver and jog up to the shopping center. Plank until the 6 arrives. Ladder up to 12 diamond merkins – run to 2nd floor and down to elbow, 1 diamond merkin, back down to start, 2 diamond merkins, 5 more round trips so we finish with 12 diamond merkins.
Jog down to the Walgreens (Q was looking for some Aleve at this point). Mary with Freddie Mercury until the six arrives. Bear crawl down right side of Wal Green, mosey to other side and crab walk back (#longerthanQthought). Partner wheelbarrow down and back.
Jog to practice field for some gassers – exercise with paver at one end and hold six inches for 10 count at other end in between gassers.
- 10 curls
- 10 tricep extensions, 10 curls
- 10 push presses, 10 tricep extensions, 10 curls
- 10 squats, 10 push presses, 10 tricep extensions, 10 curls
Jog back to starting point, stopping at each speed bump for 5 burpees (15 total). Drop off paver in the SUV and circle up for COT.
Naked Moleskin
Q fail on marketing for canned ham as I didn’t get the reminder out until late Thursday. Unfortunately, Rock Thrill saw it, including my challenge to bring more cans than YHC, and thus I had to carry the larger paver (#gladto)
Original plan was the Murph with the brick but the run up to the shoppinig center with the paver forced me to audible – not sure the result was any easier as combo of heat, humidity, and paver made for a jacked up heart rate. Udder threatened mutiny if we ran past teh Wal Green down 51 so chaos avoided.
Udder was winning the gassers (#firsttimeforeverything) so I’m wondering if he heard 1 versus 10 for the called paver exercises and Abacus beat me in the bear crawl/crab walk (#firewood for next week – never let your son or younger brother beat you – #strong work). That is 0-2 but thankfully Teddy let me stay in front on the ladder (could hear him breathing down my neck the entire time) so at least it wasn’t an 0-fer on the score sheet.
Rip Curl, Triple 7, and Puppy Love continue to show the young guys that even if your age starts with a 5 you can still mix it up (or beat) the Hates. #respect. Great to see Pulp Fiction out again – I think he is 3-3 since his first visit to Centurion a few weeks ago.
I have Purple Haze in the list of PAX but never actually saw him between warm up COP and COT – can somone verify he was with us and not sitting in his car?
Parking deck should be done soon so time to start “ramping” it up rest of week to get ready for Friday the 13th every week – Centurion will surely qualify for the #paradeofhorribles then if not already.
Lastly, site Q Escargot was back out so hope he can stay injury free. And congratulations on the new biscuit in the oven – hope he/she doesn’t look like the milk man.
As always, an honor and a privilege to lead such a great group.

Rock Thrill came strong with 50 cans of ham. Thank you brother and thanks to the rest of the pax who brought food today and throughout the week. Fairly certain all pax grabbed a paver regardless of free passes. Strong group, as usual. The 12s at the plaza was a tough set. I liked the name-o-rama on the front end. Nice to know who is out there next to you. Good Q Chelms.
Dear Abby and I were the last to grab pavers from the truck. I mentioned that he ought to grab two for whatever reason. So he grabbed a 2nd. #strong
I was out there the whole time. Legs were a little weary after the DevilsTurn/GhostRunner double down (#humblebrag)on Thursday…so the stairs did me in. But still, thanks to Mermaid’s strong work on the front end of the wheelbarrow, I was right behind you when you quit on yours and let Abacus finish the side. I look at you differently now.
T-claps Rock Thrill. Gratitude is the soil of generosity, aye?!
Noticed Dear Abby out front on some of the gassers, too. Nice work. And Udder has got another gear on the bear crawls. Strong.
Always interesting to hear reaction when the pax runs up. When we got to shopping center for the diamond merkin ladder, a group of tomatoes had gathered for a run. One of them said something to the effect of “wow, look at the old dude (Chelms) leading that big group!” Not really…but they were impressed/surprised to see the pax come rolling in.
Solid Q Chelms. How many of the pax this morning has not Q’d? It’s time. Step up. You won’t regret it.
