Make Union County Great Again

It’s voting day. I’m disgusted with the candidates (I’m a Rand Paul type of guy) so I’m taking it out on you 8 guys.

The Thang

Mosey to the lot beside Carolina Courts

COP
SSH IC x30
IW IC x20

Off we go to the playground.

4 exercises: Decline Merkins, Dips, Swing Donkey Kicks, Step Ups
Round 1: All x20
Round 2: All x25
Round 3: All x30
Plank exercises in between rounds as men wrap up their rounds.

Mosey to the concrete bench steps beside the volleyball courts
We did about 10-15 minutes of the following exercises generally in cadence x10 with no rest and just kept going through them: Decline merkins, Flutters, LBCs, Mountain Climbers, Carolina Dry Docks, Rosalita, Jump Ups on the steps, Dolly. I squeaked cadencing Declines. Mockery was loud.

Those who can mock have pain remaining in them. Mosey to the far side of Carolina Courts at the intersection of the two roads.

Obnoxiously long bear crawl to the unlit tall light pole. Once there, flip over and do an obnoxiously long crab walk to the next tall light pole. Apparently this was not pleasing for wrists so some modifications were made of lunge walks or more bear crawling. #uncaringQ

Mosey to the back road as I told HB that if I needed filler, we would run. We have time thus we were running. #F3Gump

Slow mosey to the tall light pole, race pace to the next tall light pole and then normal pace to the last light pole.

On the side road: Slow mosey, race pace, normal pace, slow pace at each light pole back to the parking lot.

Once in parking lot: Slow mosey, race pace, normal, slow, race at each tall light pole. We went across the parking lot and back up following the same order.

3 MOM
Dolly IC x55
Protractor down from 90 (or 82.5) to 10 degrees and then a slow 10 count 6 inches hold. Warning that I will restart the count if anyone drops their feet. #warningtakenseriously Also gave me the opportunity to annoyingly chatter in between counts.

DONE!

COT
Prayers for The Count’s family and for my family.
Thanks to Happy for taking us out

– This was an all around beat down. Everything got worked today. Not a typical GJ Q but I like to try to keep you on your toes.
– Lots of sweat angels left out there during MOM. #success
– The groaning was loud during the never ending rounds of those exercises. I think I captured them all above. I might have missed one but I warned that there was no way I’d keep it straight. No stopping and no resting makes for a smoker.
– Some chatter that I didn’t realize how long of a distance the bear crawl/crab walk combo would be. No, I realized it. I just regretted it. Can’t Q it, don’t do it.
– Great seeing Bernanke continue to post. Brother is strong! And another great guy to have out among the great men of UC.
– Lamont was beasting the bear crawl/crab walk. Brother took off and got to the light pole first on those bear crawls. Well, he got to the short light pole first and tried to Q jack my instructions. Sorry Brother, not giving in. Bear crawl to the tall one.
– Looked like The Count appreciated the gentle poke I gave through messenger at work yesterday to show up. And by appreciated, I mean hates me thoroughly.
– Major respect to Lamont and Shepherd who continue to live out #respect.
– Happy told me the first round of those exercises sucked while moseying to what was going to suck even more. Only going to get better from here. It’s all downhill in UC.
– HB appreciated the running. I saw a smile…I think. Might have been a middle finger. Hard to tell in the gloom.
– Hoodie gave himself 12 seconds to warmup. Good job Brother!
– Hey look, there’s Turnpike. Oh wait, nevermind. He didn’t make it. *HB put me up to this*

Thanks for letting me lead!

Hey, I never said to harass Turnpike for #fartsacking after telling me he was going to be there, especially on Tuesdays since he is site Q…

Oh wait, yes I did. #Accountablity

As far as your puberty kicking in, I will just leave this here:

GJ that just all around sucked this morning.
Still not sure if the fact I slept bad last night and had a lot of Mexican food for dinner and didn’t hydrate enough yesterday had anything to do with the suckage, naaa. #FireInTheHole

If you didn’t watch the Brady Bunch then you have a sad childhood.

I expected more running and less derkins! Glad to challenge other parts of my already sore and aging body. Why does it feel like Thrive AO gets bigger every time GJ is on Q?
