Smyrna Crew bringing the fireworks…
The Fourth of July was another great opportunity for the PAX to recognize how blessed they are to be living in the United States of America. And despite many of us having to rudely interrupt that celebration by having to return to work yesterday, at least we quickly moved into the weekend so as not to interrupt our festivities too much. The Smyrna Crew brought some more fireworks to The Forge, to light the PAX up.
PAX in attendance: ManScape (FNG), Oh Ship, Double Bird, Nimbus 1500, 3rd deg, Barney Fievel, Swinger, Topper, Pocahontas, TV Guide, Numbtucks, Ragdoll, Playboy, (CoQ) Cheezwhiz, Stats, (CoQ Mr. Opus, and (CoQ) Little Miss Piggy (17 PAX)
Conditions — too hot and humid — oh where are those crisp November mornings?
3rd Deg, TVG, and Nimbus 1500 ran to BW AO, did 30 copenhagens, and then 3x6min per mile pace laps with 1.5 minute recovery b/w laps, then run back to forge. Stats saved them by picking them in car for the last .5 mile to get back in time!
Pick up the Coupons from LMP’s truck. 1 per PAZ.
Mosey: Carry those coupons on a jog to the middle school soccer field.
Mr. Opus’ Thang: 12 Rep Countdown
PAX all in a line on soccer field. Do 12 Merkins, lunge 20 yards then 12 Carolina Dry Docks. Politician back. Rinse and repeat decreasing by a rep all the way down.
Cheezwhiz’s Thang: Tabata Twosomes
First set: PAX did 20 sec underdogs or pull ups (ha, that’s a joke– everyone went to underdogs) – 10 sec rest – then 20 sec of jump squats – then rest x entire song
MOSEY TO THE LEDGES
Second set: PAX did 20 sec Copenhagens- 10sec rest – then 20 sec of box jumps (START AT THE TOP!) – then 10sec rest x entire song
This is where 3rd Deg really put in the extra effort — more or less in the jaws with his mumble chatter, but i guess he did enjoy some extra prom date thrusting at the top of his copenhagens “EXPLODE!”
Mosey to the soccer field and find a battle buddy, and each PAX grab a coupon.
Little Miss Piggy’s Thang: 243
Independence Day marks the anniversary of when the 13 colonies originally ratified the Declaration of Independence in 1776. That makes our country now 243 years old– so let’s celebrate with 243 reps of hard work on our core.
50 reps (25 each partner) of Leg Throws, 50 reps (25 each partner) of Sky Kicks, 50 reps of American Hammers with coupon, 50 reps of Plank with partner hand slaps, and finally 43 reps of WWI with coupons.
Position for leg throws and Sky kicks: PAX 1: lay on back and hold ankles of PAX 2 standing behind their head (NO…NOT OVER THEIR HEAD… I do not want to look up your shorts nor do we need anyone’s ball sweat dropping like Chinese water torture on our face). Leg throws –PAX 1 raises straight legs up to PAX 2 who then throws the legs toward the ground. Sky kicks: PAX 1 keeping leg straight up toward sky, lifts butt off ground.
Mosey: Jog it back to start area with the coupon in hand. Deposit coupon in truck and plank till the six arrives. Great job everyone!
CoT/Numbers/Names — 17 PAX, 1 FNG named today (he works for the city and is an arborist — thus, ManScape, of course !)
Prayer:
– Praise LMP’s mother-in-law recovering so well from mastectomy
– Soccer Mom still needs prayer coverage
– Nimbus: daughter tasted positive for Lime’s disease and starting treatment, praise she is not feeling too bad, but prayer it works out well without any adverse effects
Announcements:
-Using new Nolensville sign up sheet for Q / Coffeeteria sign ups (3rd deg really likes the new color scheme and look of Numbtucks’ design on this spreadsheet – you guys should really check it out, oh yeah, and sign up for stuff!)
-challenge: nobody Q more than 1 time this month! Get some people more active!
Post-party: a few us had penalty burpees to do for the challenges that we were/are apart of… and Cheezwhiz is trying to avoid his for each day that he missed during the running streak challenge. Yep, called ya out.
Coffeeteria enjoyed too
—Little Miss Piggy, Cheezwhiz, Mr. Opus
