12 HIMs and a half (pup) happily showed their commitment to fitness today. Took the rain or shine and hot or cold principles seriously.

We were quick to get started, pledge then mosey.

Pulled out the “water proof” deck of cards.

= beach body, 10 count of Mary any heart drawn.
= HIMs best friend, the burpee. Face value 2 to 13.
= merkins, face value 2-13
= get low in the club, jump squats, face value 2-13.

The twist! Any time an Ace is drawn perform the motivator. First ace is 5 reps, second is 10 and so on.

The workout, PAX draws card performs exercise, pickle, rinse and repeat.

Good news for these HIMs that all 4 aces were drawn. Bad news, a lot of diamonds were pulled. However for the 3rd ace drawn, we allowed a 5 burpee opportunity to draw again. We must of wanted it. The redraw was the 4th ace. Three rounds of motivator performed. Excellent job gents!!!

Fantastic day in the gloom. Warm coffee and a new need to learn more about Francois’ high-school soccer coach.

Prayers for the HIMs health, that we can stay strong and keep keeping on!

Duck donuts dash should be on your two week look ahead.

MIAGD!!

2.12.24 – 88mph
Another damp cold morning post Super Bowl, just like the first day. A Tri Q this time but Doula was there in spirit. Pledge and off we mosey.

WebMD led the warmups at nearly the same spot and nearly the same calls. He made sure to call hand release merkins on the damp pavement.

Sherpa lead us to the most confusing deck in all of SCary. BLIMPS were the call but confusion was the game. After what seemed like 5 minutes we were done.

YHC took us out towards the flag for some triple nickels as WebMD played doctor, for real. Back to the flag for some Mary.

style ending with 88’s (100’s). HAND

Great crew for the Sunday Slowzy, and while there was a stretch of the Regency loop where we started going a little too Fastzy, we managed to get things back under control and keep Captain Jack (mostly) happy (I think). MIAGD.

AKOA week continues. Beautiful brisk morning at Point Break, with a little bit of something for everyone, Cleaver-ites, Ruckers, and Bootcampers. Problematic numberz (probably because of the nut milk advertised at coffeteria.

Anyways, welcome FNG, so mission and core principles. Off we mosey to the Shake Shack lot with an extra loop for good measure. Warm-ups near an unexpectedly sketchy 4-Runner. At this point a new F3 Game was created, look for it at an AO near you soon, Yogi and Bubba-isms Bingo. Looped around the lot again, down past whole foods (and the sketchy 4-Runner for a second time) and onto the green to find…..

THE WHEEL OF PAIN (core-centric edition)
Spin the wheel, 20 of called exercise OYO followed by a big pickle around Shake Shack. Halfway through we needed to balance some things out so merks and squats to restore said balance. Continue on until all exercises had been called. More squats and merks then back up to the big lot. At this point Kirkland was bemoaning the lack of AKOA exercises, so Astro Jacks, Stiflers Mom, American Sledgehammers, and Cat Scratch Fever were all called. Back to pick up the wheel (which Gravel Mouth bore upon his back) and then to the flag.

A great crowd this morning at Thunderstruck gathered to pay homage to a couple of local HIMs.
Mosey, warmups, and venture into Glenridge. Throughout workout any time we saw a car we stopped what we were doing and played it cool (squat hold and read newspaper). We traveled to various houses and culdesacs with two special stops at casa de Tonnage and casa de Snip. Added a new exercise at each stop along the way.

H hello dolly

S side straddle hop jump

P Peter Parker merkin

(We love you too Tonnage but your name is too long).

Thanks to Astro for the coffee.

Problematic numbers this morning but great to see some neighbors visit from the Peak tribe. Disclaimer then pledge then off we go. No elaborate plans but our friend from the far far west in LaLa Land debuted a new exercise yesterday, so we had to try it out. Warmups with stretching then mosey to the long hill that Bing shared during BRR training.

7’s was the call with the Lt. Dan Tuck Jump Burpee at the top and WW2’s at the bottom. Nope that’s not the bottom of the hill keep going. Finished with 6 regular burpees as a group.

Mosey back to the warmup spot for some post hill stretching. Back to the flag for a few popcorn Mary and HAND with 2.5 minutes to spare. Our lone Ochoer returned safely with mysterious blood stains.

A cold and snowy morning –
Morale was already high when YHC arrived (fyi – when I offered to Q, didn’t look at weather and likely would’ve fartsacked premeditated)

HOWEVER…..15 PAX went the distance and took the fight into the Championship rounds

The Thang:

Fight-Gone-Bad WOD

5 Rounds For Total Reps in 29 minutes:

– 1 minute Wall Ball Shots (20lb)
– 1 minute Sumo Deadlift High-Pulls. (75/55/45lb)
– 1 Burpees (substitute for 20in box jumps)
– 1 minute Push Press (75/55lb)
– 1 minute Seated Row (calories) or bent over row with kettelbells / sandbag
– 1 minute Rest
RINSE and REPEAT

All Pax got what they came for, and I personally witnessed men doing the hard thing when they didn’t feel like it.

We all played a part in staying motivated.

It seemed by the last round everyone had finally figured out how to do the workout

With the time we had left, Yogi led a little mosey around the parking lot.

COT:

Prayer requests:

1.) That God work mightily in Yogi’s relationship with his sons, thay Yogi and his sons receive God’s guidance, peace, and grace in their conversations and in their heart.

2.) ECU Professor, T.D. Gribble (ECU Martial Arts director for ~20 years)
His parents were killed for unknown motive. Suspect was apprehended by T.D. (Who is a follower of Christ, and the only reason I believe suspect was shown mercy)
T.D. and his family need prayer for this unfathomable incident
I don’t even know what to say to him, and usually I can text him for whatever.
(Will post in 3rdF Prayers with news article.)

Praise:

1.) We are well able to do what God has called us to do TODAY

Announcements: several events upcoming, see Slack for details.

It was honor and a pleasure for the opportunity to lead in my region having not close to optimal conditions.
Love all you guys and appreciate the love back (but you ain’t got to love me back aye )

MIAGD and as Coach Mickey says, “Don’t be a BUM!!”
