PAX: Boone’s Farm, Penny Loafers, Nurse Ratched, Hugs Not Drugs, Toga (QIC)

Gloom Factor: 70 and Sunny

Five fought off the signs of a chilly, blustery morning to get a little better in the gloom.  Here’s how it went down:

Mosey to BHS track for warmarama then head to the goal line for THE BEAST with tiny animal interludes.  It went like this:

• Complete 6 merkins at the 25, 50, 25, touch the goal line and repeat on the way back. Broadjumps/Kangaroo hops back and forth in the end zone 4x
• Round 2= Jump Squats and Bear crawls 4x
• Round 3= WWII and duck walks 4x
• Round 4= Something and gorilla walks 4x
• Round 5= Lunges and Inch Worm merkins 4x
• Round 6= burpees

Indigenous People’s Run back to the flag and Mary till time expired.

Announcements and Prayer Concerns:

• Kids and teachers finishing out the first half
• Nurse’s coworker’s father having brain surgery
• YHC is stepping down as AOQ and we are entering the dawn of the Boone’s Farm regime.  Long live the AOG!

NMM:  It’s good to know that the PAX reads Slack prior to arrival.  Everyone brought coffee mugs and Boone’s even thought YHC was signaling him to bring coffee.  Which resulted in 2 carafes of coffee floating around.  Good problems to have!

Stay Classy,

Lucky number seven posted for a little fun at GWP in the gloom.  The PAX was warned that there would be a renewed focus on the mighty pull-up, and they weren’t disappointed.

Mosey to GWP for WOR then head over to the monkey bars for pull-up clinic that went down like this:

• Determine your max number of real pull-ups.  No, not the knee jerking, cross-fit butterfly or half arm extension varieties.  We’re talking about slow return, fully extended, head hang pull-ups.  Once you know that, plan to do half or 1/3 of that # for 6 rounds.
• Execute pull-ups, 10 strict form merkins while making meaningful/socially distanced eye contact with your partner, and 10 WWII
• Repeato x5

Mosey to parking lot and keep partners.  P1 runs half the lot while P2 bear crawls the same loop.  Keep the distance with the team doing bear crawls, lunges and braid jump burpees until the loop is completed.

Mosey back to the lot for Mary Fest 2020.  The PAX hit 10-12 exercises until time expired.

NMM:  Many families are dealing with illness as a result of Rona and life in general.  Prayers for healing and faith.

Stay Classy,

Five redwoods posted for a brand new opportunity to join the fight at Granny White Park.  Here’s how it went down:

Mosey to parking lot to GWP sand volleyball courts.  Yes, all sand, all the time, in all the places!  YHC recommended losing the shoes and we began warmarama then start Brazilian jiu-jitsu style warmup=

• bear crawls x2
• shrimps x2
• shot walks x1

Begin main event = 3, 5 minute rounds with one minute “corner” breaks.., just like a UFC bout.  Each round consisted of nonstop lunges, merkins, burpees, some core work and squats.

Mosey back to parking lot for Mary= flutters, APDs, Jane Fondas

COT= Offshore took us out

NMM:  If you ever want to see a PAX get unhappy, just roll them in sand for a few minutes.  YHC even had it in the ears, and I’m not sure how you guys with hair handled that.  Fun times indeed!

Stay Classy,
