Ascending Ladders

Another beautiful muggy morning in the gloom. It is getting noticeably gloomier as the morning twilight is now waiting until we finish COP.

After COP (include a little yoga with strong admonition not to do a circle of back pain) we did an ascending-ascending-ladder of burpees up the parking deck (up to 7). On top of the parking deck we did donkey kicks and hand slap merkins up to 10. Then back to the ground for supine pullups and supermans up to 7. Finished it off with one set of curls at the rock pile.

It’s a blessing to be with you guys. Especially happy to have GOP and Preschool back with us and Half-Pipe making an appearance at Centurion for first time.

Bear Dens

My AO VQ at The Valley. We started off with some pull up and hanging work on the bars at HFES. Then I introduced the idea of a bear den. Q calls the location of the next den, and we all run towards it. First one to get there calls, “Bear Den!” and all the PAX start to bear crawl towards each other to form a pack.  We did about a 2.5 mile loop that way. It was a lot of bear crawling. On the way, we stopped for some dips, and some wall climbs (my first time satisfying the movie boot camp stereotype), and some core work.

Good work gentlemen. I’m honored to be a part of this crowd.

Disney Dad

I ran into Sloppy yesterday at Mugs and tried to EH him into Centurion. He asked who was Q. I didn’t know. He told me to text it to him. Lo and behold, it’s me.

I wanted to cover some new territory so I pulled out google maps and looked for a good loop. This morning I threw my phone in a fanny pack so I could keep to the route (mostly) and we made it a nice little string of pearls.

It was great to meet White Hot. He’s still Friendly but the New is wearing off fast as he makes the rounds in his first two weeks.
