WARMUPS:

Show Me Lap

17 X SSH IC

17 X Slow and Low Squats IC

GM & WMH OYO

17 Tempo Merkins IC

Explained the significance of the number 17 as the same number of Football National Championships won by the mighty Alabama Crimson Tide. At this time the mumble chatter was accelerated to full speed which resulted in a quick 10 attitude adjustment burpees.

To further drive home the significance of the number 17 PAX moseyed to the covered picnic area for a round of 17 DIDs.

Thang 1

In honor of Bear Bryant and his 6 National Championships Pax partnered up and completed 6 rounds of Bear Brawls in the lawn adjacent to the pain ground. (each Pax Bear Crawled 6 times)

Thang 2

On the first day of the Alabama’s “4th quarter conditioning program” players run 16 110 yard sprints with 45 seconds of rest between each sprint. Due to time constraints we did 8 110 yard sprints with 45 seconds of rest.

Pax proceeded to the Amish store parking lot by Lunge Walking the Bridge.

Thang 3

Pax shuttle ran each parking spot with a Burpee at the entrance of each spot and a Bobby Hurley jump a the front of the spot. This was in recognition of Terrence Cody’s two blocked field goals in a win over the Tennessee Volunteers in 2009 in route to Nick Saban’s first National Championship.

MOM

Pax moseyed back to the parking lot and circled up with 4 minutes to spare.

17 Flutter Kicks IC

17 American Hammers

17 LBCs Normal and both sides.

 

CoT, Count-o-rama, Name-o-rama

  • Welcome FNG Professor X
  • Prayers for Soccer Mom
  • Prayers for Barney’s final interview.

Galatians 6:9 – So let us not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.

Pax were encouraged to choose what is good not what is easy, with the truth that we are empowered to do good with the help of Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Always an honor to lead.

SSH, SJs, CSs, CPs, WMHs, Mosey around the lot to the football field.

Thang 1

Hockey is a lot of skating up the ring switching to defense then skating backwards, with a lot of physicality along the way.

Suicide Burpee Apocalypse Pyramid.

Pax Mosey started on the goal line, mosey to the ten, perform one Burpee, politician back to the goal line, mosey to the twenty, perform two Burpees, continue this pattern until reaching the other goal line, ten Burpees then politician back, mosey to the opposite ten for nine Burpees and work their way down the Pyramid. Routine called after 30 minutes, a few PAX almost completed the circuit.

Thang 2

It takes 12 wins to win the Stanley Cup, wait nope it takes 16 wins to win the Stanley Cup (thanks 3D for keeping the Q honest.

PAX then executed a round of 16s, similar to 11s, with the two exercise areas of the goal line and 50 yard line. Exercises were HRCs (hand release clap merkins) and Warhammers (WWI with 2 American Hammers at the top) both of which were invented, to our knowledge, in Nolensville. Circuit called after 25 minutes. Pax finished with an “all you got left” 100 yard sprint.

4 LBAC IC

Good Mornings OYO

Now that the round of the “First Four” is over its time to get to the real madness. Pax moseyed over to the football field, counted off into four teams and the four “Regions” were identified. The workout areas were on the 10s and 50s of the field.

The Thang :

Round of 64 (each team started at a different region and completed 64 reps of the exercise once all Pax on the team completed the reps all moved to the next region by the MOT listed. Each subsequent round also represented the number of reps that were executed)

North – Merkins

South – Plank Jacks

East – Squats

West – LBCs

MOT – Mosey

Round of 32

North – Atomic Merkins

South – Burpees

East – Iron Mikes

West – WW1 Situps

MOT – Politician

Sweet Sixteen

North – HRCs (Hand Release Clap Merkins)

South – Double Shot of Jack Burpees

East – Lt. Dan Squats

West – Warhammer Situps

MOT – Duck Walk

Elite 8

North – Clap Merkins

South – Yurpees

East – Bobby Hurleys

West – Captian Thor (round 8)

MOT – Lunge Walk

Final Four (transitioned from the 10s and 50s to the middle of the field still four workout stations, just closer since we were running short on time)

North – 4X4 Merkins

South – Kracken Burpees (but with 4 clap merkins instead of 3)

East – Freddie Mercury’s (X40)

West – Dan Taylors (a Lt. Dan with 4 lunges instead of 2 lunges)

MOT – Bear Crawl

Championship Round

Pax counted off into 2 groups and took a shot at the “Sally” push-up challenge which came down to Nimbus and Barney almost making it to the end. Barney bested all of us this day, but I suspect we will all have another chance at this one again.

The prize for winning was a scratch off lotto ticket with a potential jackpot of $75,000.00.

Moleskin:

  • Polar Express is recovering well from his triple bypass surgery
  • Sterno’s LP9 and 2.0 are fighting through the flu and friend recently received a diagnosis of cancer
  • Gaylord’s Mother is not feeling well he is traveling to Memphis to be with her during this time
  • 1st Thessalonians 5:16-18 – Rejoice always, Pray Continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Let us all remember to Rejoice, Pray and Give thanks in all circumstances as we consider Christ’s love and sacrifice for us.

Bullhorn:

  • The Gauntlet is coming May 4th, if you would like to run the course with the AO leaders reach out to Barney. The CSAUP event will be 8 miles consisting of 5 AOs beginning and ending at The Forge.
  • The new Monday AO, Defiant kicks off this Monday the 25th at 5:30 am with a pre-party at 5:15.

Always a pleasure to lead.

Undercover “The Departed” Q @ F3 Nolensville Broken Wheel

Pre-Party 4 PAX for a round of all you got pull ups, ascent of the “Dancing Bear” (Merkins followed by air presses in increasing reps 1,2,3 etc to 10) round of all you got pull ups, Dancing Bear descent 10-1, round of all you got pull ups.

This was the first post since spring forward so the gloom had returned in full effect. PAX: Show Me, TV Guide, 3rd Degree, Snowball, Altidore, Stats, Sterno (QIC???), Scrooge, Nimbus, Creeper, Kermit, Barney Fievel, Staples.

It all started out as an average Tuesday at Broken Wheel with Sterno on the Q however things escalated quickly and we knew something a bit off….

Capri Lap a.k.a. “Show Me” lap around the parking lot.

Disclaimer

SSH IC X 5

LBAC IC X 5

….and then the pain began….

Thang(s) 1

Alternating Shoulder Taps IC X 20

Tempo Merkins IC X 15

Fast as you can Merkins OYO X 15

Mountain Climbers IC X 20

Short Mosey to the Pavilion by the pain ground…

Copenhagens OYO X 40

Derkins IC X 10

Back to the lot…

60 Yard Sprints back to back X 4

Round of Contra Burpees 1-10

Q then proceeded to hand the reins off to Altidore (Undercover/Mole Q #1) which led to more pain of the lower body variety.

Thang(s) 2

PAX Partnered up for a Diego type routine which included about 40 yard light pole to light pole MOT.

Round One: 150 Jump Squats, MOT Duck Walk and Politician back

Round Two: 200 Iron Mikes, MOT Politician and Mosey back

Mosey back to the pavilion for 20 box jumps OYO.

Altidore handed the Q over to Stats, (Undercover/Mole Q #2) who noted that the best way to avoid the lactic acid build up in your legs is to Mosey, so Mosey we did.

Thang 3

Mosey around the short loop (appx .33 miles). While it is true you need good legs to run, thanks Altidore, the key to efficient running is core strength so as PAX finished the Lap we did War Hammers (as seen in Nolensville) until the 6 had time to do 10 reps.

Pax did another lap and then did 10 big boy sit-ups and 40 American Hammers.

Pax did a third lap finishing with an “all you have left sprint” at the last turn to the line.

The Thang

Pax rotated rolling 6 dice for the number of reps, picking a card from the F3 Dexicon mode of transportation cards, then picking an exercise card. If the Pax did not like the exercise card they had the option to “double down” (doubling the reps rolled) and re-draw another exercise card. Pax then would MOT from one light pole to the first light pole, exercise and MOT back to the “Casino” table. We gambled ourselves into a respectable upper body workout. The series of events are as follows.

Let us remember the good news is that God made a way for a right relationship with him it is not by anything we do.

Thang – 3 Taking down the campground, by descending 10-1 dancing bears.

COT – Read the Bob Goff quote “If I had one last meal, I wouldn’t spend it with the person I knew would betray me. Love does. This quote captures the simplicity and complexity of the gospel and Jesus. We remembered Charlotte in prayer and asked for the discernment to love others well.
