13 PAX (initially) posted for a mosey and some humid garage work. ’twas an interesting first 10 minutes…
PAX: Offshore, Red Skull (paramedic #1), Double Check, Penny Loafers (paramedic #2), Dr. Smartt, Bedpan, Hot Pockets, Umbrella, Black Widow, Boone’s Farm, Calf Killer, Greasetrap (patient), Razorback (Q).
Conditions: Not as muggy as expected….until we reached the depths of the parking garage. Lesson learned: for the balance of the summer any garage work will be featured on the top deck where the air actually moves.
WOR: Mosey around MW park loop and circle up for SSH, GM, WMH, cotton pickers, OH and seal claps, squats, merkins, spidermans and hillbillies.
THANG: Extended mosey from MW park to parking garage. Q took the time to drive the route this morning and confirm sidewalk availability for PAX safety. Q failed to evaluate the number and placement of light poles, not thinking that would be a relevant impediment to PAX running in a straight line. As Q was approaching intersection of East Park and OHB, I hear a loud “dooong” noise, akin to running past a street sign and slapping it. Turns out, that noise was the product of Greasetrap’s forehead making direct, full-speed contact with a light pole (he turned to speak to Red Skull, looked up and the light pole was upon him). As Slack pictures show, the result was a doozie of a cut on his dome – thankfully Red Skull and Penny Loafers jumped in to serve as his care team, got him home safely and Andy Wicke was at the ready to stitch him up. Harry Potter has been submitted as a potential new name for Chase – based on placement and size of scar to come, this idea has promise.
Bloody excitement behind us, we continued our circuitous mosey for about 1.25+/- miles to the garage for the following.
Bottom of each ramp:
- 5x burpees
- 10x Peter Parkers (5x each side)
- 15x Carolina dry docks
- 20x merkins
- 25x air presses
- Backward run up the ramp
- Walking lunge the flat section to next ramp
After first two rounds, Q realized the above exercises all work the same muscles, and modified to 5/10/10/10/15. Last round was just 50 air presses to finish in time.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Surgery is scheduled for Penny Loafers wife in mid-July. Continue to pray for the family and let’s be thinking about ways to serve them next month.
Calf Killer’s cousin Ryan was in a bad climbing accident recently and is recovering from some very serious injuries. More procedures to come so pray for full recovery.
Pleasure to be with you men this morning. Let’s try to limit injuries from running in straight lines in the future.
