self-a·ware·ness (noun) conscious knowledge of one’s own character, feelings, motives, and desires.

YHC generally steps up to lead only when confident of the task at hand – Q’ing Watchtower is not exactly in my comfort zone.  Thank you to Doughboy and Fuse Box (injury prevented my Chiseled Q) for offering up the opportunity to lead – and thanks to Deadwood and Zinfandel for checking in on me leading up to the event.  Rudy offered up a weinke that was much better than mine so I had a reasonable plan in place.  But what about the counting…?

5:30 DiCCS given.  Mosey on over to the Town Hall parking lot.

Warm-up:

~20 SSH, ~10 IW, ~10 Potato Pickers, ~20 Merkins, Calf Stretch.  Exact counts unknown as my cadence turned out to be terrible (given a 3/10 by the Syrian judge).  A handful of stragglers showed up at this point, giving us a total of 18 PAX for the morning.

The Thang:

• Mosey around the shopping center to the small parking lot behind Rack Room
• Partner Up – P1 Donkey Kicks; P2 Bear Crawl across lot and back. 100 total.
• Mosey to Target Parking Lot; 100yd sprint followed by 10 Merkins. Repeat 10x; everyone starts together; Squats waiting for 6.
• Mosey to Hickory Tavern; Partner up – P1 exercises, P2 runs short lap as timer. Exercises 100 each Jump Squat (incorrect instruction by YHC – supposed to be Step Up but PAX adapted), High Knee Jump, Derkins, Dips). Mary for 6.
• Circle up in front of Brooklyn Pizza; Deadwood’s Circle Burp – Burpee with increasing Merkin count until 10; Burpee with increasing squat count until 8.
• Planks and time – 2+ miles, sweating and dry heaves accomplished.

Moleskin:

Not sure what was said and by whom as I was too concerned about my heart attempting to escape my chest cavity.
