Last night YHC dm’d Sbarro letting him know I had an itch to Q if for any reason he didn’t. He was gracious enough to just let me have it so we decided it would be fun if he started the warm up and just tossed me the keys

So that’s what happened! Pax were stunned, shocked, speechless, mindblown (probably) but they played it cool like they were confused or didn’t really care haha!!

Lots of pickles and partner work this morning. Each Thang involved partner work.

We ran pickles in opposite directions as our partners and did partner exercises when we passed by each other:

Pickle 1: 5 Monkey Humpers and then increasing Patty Cake Merkins each time you reached your partner
Pickle 2: Weave the pickles with 5 pickle pounders and then 5 Toddler Squats each time you reached your patner.
Pickle 3: 5 Squat jumps and then 3 Bropees each time.

Back near the flag for a down and back of Duck Walking and Broad Jump Burping.

COT with NoR/CoR/Prayer and Prasies!

Thanks fellas! Great turnout for a hurricane day!! And thanks to Sbarro again for allowing me to steal his Q.

10 Pax came out for their annual checkups with YHC and got more running than expected (or maybe it was expected?)

After a brief warmup of SSH, Sir fazio, and stretches, we moseyed to the hill.

11s on the big hill with CDD and Merkins.

Then moseyed back to the main parking lot, with 4 corners and various core exercises. Dodged a lot of cars and site Qs kept us safe.

Back to the flag exactly on time with 3+ miles for all.

Announcements – odyssey, multiple camping trips.

Praises for Water Wings knee recovery.

MIAGD!

Problematic (or almost problematic?) day at the premier Tuesday boot camp actually located in south cary!

Took the long way over to the Lowe’s foods parking lot for warmups. Then headed over to the Ortho parking lot for three rounds of four corners. First round was 9 diamond merkins at each corner, second round was 24 jump squats and then third round was 83s.

Then we headed towards the park with an illegal road crossing in front of Cary’s finest (no trespassing tho!) and then a pause to monkey hump the JDI broz (of which there were many!) before heading to the shelter for 41 dips, 41 I/urkins, and a 41 second derkin hold.

Back to the flag for popcorn mary and COT right before the dome gave out. Coffee at the shelter!

Prayers for my nextdoor neighbor Sharon in dealing with the sudden passing of her husband yesterday, prayers for Useful’s job search. Grateful to start another year feeling . MIAGD, gents!

10 HIM tested fate this morning at Jack It Up. The three ECers got a sneak preview, while the rest had to wait. No flag as it was in Spade’s “other truck” so off we go. Mosey down and around the sheep loop. Standard warm-ups then the fun began.

The Wheel of Pain came out of hibernating and was ready to dole out a solid beatdown. Each PAX took a turn with fate and per typical wheel magic we hit every slice. HG gave us the final spin and ‘somehow’ it magically ended up on burpees. Pickle between each round, pax choice, sheep loop or small pickle + plank hold while waiting for the sheep loopers. 5k covered for some, rock solid abs achieved for others.

Odyssey in October, Culture week coming in November.
Prayers for Gravel Mouth’s fire academy test coming up.

Stick around long enough at coffeeteria and you might even get to meet someone considering becoming Senator Mark Kelly’s personal assistant.

9 bootcampers and 7 run clubbers this AM.

One last trip to the beach this morning to send out summer on a high note. Swimsuits were highly encouraged but YHC didn’t give that disclaimer until 5:44 so only YHC was appropriately dressed. Nevertheless we prevailed and started off on our journey with a mosey to the rest area. At this point one of the kids naturally started yelling ‘Dad I gotta go!’ so we pulled in, did some warm-ups, stalled and discussed pigeons on the beach, and something about ground hogs….

Anyways, continue back on our trip to Ritter for….

The BEACHBALL

Grab a beachball from the Qs trunk and lets begin. Various exercises together followed by a pickle where the mode of transit was beachball thrusters (throw your beachball at the top of the thruster then go get it). Exercises were heavily skewed towards Mary (gotta get that six pack for the last beach trip):

B ox cutters
E lbow to knee crunches
A merican hammers
C ockroaches (that are dying)
H eels to heaven
B urpees
A l gores
L ow slow flutters
L unges

Then we closed out with 3 amazing rounds of F3 Beachball Dodgeball which was enjoyed immensely by all.

10 souls came out for what was supposed to be an Iron PAX Challenge recovery day but instead received a 5 inning beatdown on the F3 baseball diamond. F3 baseball is nothing like real baseball, except there are bases and there might also be some whining.

Ended with newly coined sir fazio wrist circles to ease of pain from crab walking. I believe the passerbys were very impressed with this.

Great work by the men and great to see DEET out there with us!

8 braved week 2 of the Iron Pax Challenge under Kitty Litter’s leadership. Workout honored the STL pax who lost his life at a beatdown last year. Times ranged from legit 45ish (apologies if French Lick and Nabs were materially faster) to questionable 55 minutes. This week was significantly more challenging than wk 1. Playlist on point. Prayers for aging parents and those doing R2R this weekend.

4 Ochoers and 7 boot campers. Started with a short mosey and standard SCary stretches in the rain. Continued with 4 corners and block work in the rain. Various exercises were called including stingray merkins. 21 seemed to be a good number this morning so we stuck with it.

15 for Power Hour with various weights/bells in the pouring rain. The rain caught me off guard. My plan required us to stay in one place, so we all took a direct aquatic hit. On the plus side, this is a workout I won’t forget. I tip my hat to 14 gentlemen who leaned right into it. I tip my hat a second time to everyone for farmers carrying all the weights back to my car. High impact men everywhere you look at Shepherd’s Watch.

NMS:

*Always great to see our guy Pet Sounds. We should all be circulating a little more than we are.
*1988 Donruss would have labeled Dookie a “Rated Rookie.” Let’s get him into Slack.
*+1 to Unitard and Bubba for tag-teaming the battle rope
*+1 to Grisham for lugging the deceptively heavy slamball
*I will stop hogging the Q sheet, starting……now.
