Q*bert returns to Hawks Nest as did Swiper

Q*bert returns to Hawks Nest as did Swiper

11 pax mustered for another Tuesday downpainment at Hawks Nest. The shovel flag had been planted, and after a subpar disclaimer, we launched.

Ye Olde Moleskine & Thang:

Started with an immediate pattern interrupt by heading toward the side of campus where we never go anymore….partly due to construction, partly due to habit, and partly due to the pax love of the turf fields. We circled up in a non-descript parking lot that was plenty big for the 11 of us but not big enough to allow for adequate dissipation of noxious fumes emanating from some pax who will not be singled out. Actually, I would totally single them out but not sure who perpetrated the acts.

COP:

15 Slow Squats (don’t ever do squats quickly)

15 H-R Merkins (don’t ever do non-H-R merkins)

15 Slow Flutters

No IW’s and darn sure no SSH’s.

Partner up and run the crazy hilly lot near one of the older buildings. P1 runs while P2 does called exercise: Jump Squat, Wide Arm Merkin, LBC. Flapjacking, of course.

We then moseyed over to the Horne Fine Arts Building (confirmed with Ductwork after the workout that he has absolutely nothing to do with the building…but wishes he did).

3 sets of 13 incline merkins and 13 double-squat step-ups. Ickey worked in some jump up’s as well. T-claps. Gloss was complaining about the height of the wall…Sprockets was not.

We then made our way over to Q*bert for some more step-ups and more double-squats. Then we did it again but with a backwards step-up…Gloss was holding on to the hand rail.

Mosey over to the rocks near the bridge. Grab a lifting rock. On the bridge we did 3 sets of 13 thrusters, some People’s Chair with overhead press (should have incorporated the rock on that, will do better next time). Also introduced Swiper to the Walthar N’Djaiye – unsavory especially if, for instance, you have shoulder tendinitis.

We then ran to the aforementioned plush turf lacrosse?/field hockey? field for some lunge walks, broad jump burpees, backward lunge walks, H-R merkins and one AYG 70’ish yard run – Ickey & Sprockets way out front…no surprise there.

Run back to the launch lot for 4 MoM which included 13 reps of: Makhtar N’Djaiye, High Flutter, Knee Up (Q failed after 11.5 reps here…I’ll do better next time, just coming off IR….#lameexcuse).

Finished with 13 burpees. You’re welcome, Mermaid.

Good work in the gloom this morning, fellas. The Fletch-Q’d FT pax were very late so no joint COT. I’d already up-planted the SF before they arrived. #cobains

Next week – Purple Haze will cross over the line and visit the friendly confines of the Nest as our Q. Don’t miss it. Tell your friends.

Lots of mumblechatter with the likes of Puddin’, Swiper, Gloss – sound off if anything worth mentioning…which of course there is. Funniest lines of the morning were in COP – something about proclivity from One Eye. And can’t remember for the life of me, but Puddin’ had me almost falling out of cadence on some comment.

Most importantly, please pray for Red Rocks. He is in a fight for his life, men. Approach the throne of grace with great boldness on his behalf. God wants to hear from you, and He’s always listening.

Always a pleasure to Q…Gloss said he was proud of me.
