Air Presses Never Hurt So Good

Air Presses Never Hurt So Good

14 pax posted this morning for a windy workout just a few hours before Hurricane Zeta comes in.  This was sort of a last minute Q for me because Deep Dish was scheduled to Q but he’s waiting on Covid test results and had to stay home (good luck Deep Dish!).  Inspired by Zinfandel’s costumes this week, I dug out my favorite Napoleon Dynamite wig, my old glasses from middle school, a Nasa shirt I found at Target last night, and made some tater tots too, which unfortunately I forgot to bring, GOSH!  I had enough to share.  Oh well, more for me to enjoy today.

We did a warm up mozy and a few exercises (SSH, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, Mtn Climbers, calf stretch).  Then we mozied back to the front of the school for a 7 of diamonds drill.  1st lap was 7 merkins in each corner, 2nd round was 14 plank jacks, 3rd round was 21 LBC’s, 4th round was 28 squats.  This one takes a while to complete and we did some Mary while the 6 came in.  My wig had to come off during this, that thing was way too hot.

Next we did a merkins & air press web and went straight through to 10 and 40, which was pretty painful by the end.  I could tell some of the pax were not enjoying this web and there may have been some mumble chatter, but I didn’t care.  It’s my Q, I’ll do whatever I want, GOSH!  My shoulders are still hurting right now as I eat my tater tots and type at my desk.

Then we went over to the playground area and did a round of 7’s (Swerkins on the swings, inspired by Das Boot) and Speed Skaters on the opposite end of their little track.  This pretty much killed our time.

Our 6th man in the COT was One Star.  He played football in college and played with a guy who was an amazing 5-star recruit.  I don’t remember the guys name, but he EH’d One Star and brought him out to F3.  I guess One star was more of a 1-star player, haha!  Gotta love F3 names.  Never tell us your weaknesses FNG’s!

On a serious note, I asked everyone to pray for the Garrett family, who is one of my neighbors.  Their only child, Morgan was one of the pilots who crashed last week in Alabama on Naval a training flight.  She graduated from Weddington High with my oldest son and was a great kid.  She went to the Coast Guard Academy and ran track for them and was training to be a pilot.  Very sad.

Thanks to all who came out today, I enjoyed working out with you all.  We will see you tomorrow!
