NO BURPEE REQUEST

AO: bomber
Q: hambone
PAX: Sherlock, DintyMoore, Pep, Chunks, Hair Band, Puzzlah, Hedwig, CubCadet, Papa Bear
FNGs: None
COUNT: 10
CONDITIONS:

WARMUP: No time to waste–no warmup.

THE THANG: CubCadet requested that there be no burpees + running, and because I respect the most respected members of the most respected AO in Nashville, how could I not oblige?

The thing about the burpee is there is a whole bunch of gettin’ up and gettin’ down. Why not just cut out the extra movement and do the merkin and the squat separately? The geriatrics in the crowd approved.

Besides the running and stopping for merkins and squats, we also managed to get a quick set of pull ups and then moved over to bear crawls + other work near Nebraska Ave.

The closeout was Jacobs ladder with NO BURPEES–just merkins and squats. Work your way up to 7 and then SSH for the six.

MOLESKIN: DintyMoore was late, but he was able to follow his nose to my stank and catch up with the crew. He just knew how to get us.

Sherlock came flying in with rizzzzz because he caught lots of red lights on the way over, but he made up for it by catching up and then performing Jacob’s Ladder like a champion.

Speaking of late, Chunks came flying in on his fleet feet accompanied by Hair Band. He was pretty smoked, but “that was the pace he picked”.

Papa Bear, Hedwig I don’t want you guys to feel left out–you guys looked excellent on the bear crawls. I know you’ll lead some in the future.

Puzzlah I couldn’t notice any problems with the hip. The man is large, but he moves like butter on a lobster.

Speaking of lobster, Pep, I’m really sorry I didn’t have more at 525. Sometimes all I have to give is my love and the workout.

CubCadet, I fulfilled my promise, so even though you may not technically be AOQ, your word reigns supreme and I honor it–even if I have to use a bit of semantics to get the workout in that I want.

COT: Prayers for Hedwig’s 2nd cousin (technically?) and his awesome life and passing. Prayers for the Beam/Beem family and the loss of their child (thx DintyMoore). Prayers for Hair Band’s 5 minute move.

hambone out.

Mini Mary

MOLESKINE:

I have a confession–I did not want to get up this morning. I’ve been pulled in 12 different directions at work with no end in sight. I’ve had to drop a class (ie. $2500 pissed away) because I was in a solid ‘F’ category. My running this week has been very poor. I submitted to stress eating yesterday. I spent 35 minutes on my porcelain throne this AM. My joints (and not my member) were unusually stiff this morning. I would have rated myself 3/10 when I pulled up this morning.

That’s the thing about the-discipline. You get up and show up irrespective of what’s going on in your life. Sometimes you’re even called to lead when things aren’t going well. The daily discipline of the King is often inviting, but sometimes it is completely opposite. the-discipline is cold and indifferent to how you’re feeling.

So you get up and go chase it anyway. That’s just how it works.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Brewruck
Game Night

COT: Prayers and thankfulness for our continued growth as men.
