Welcome. Mission Statement. Disclaimer.
COP: arm circles, cherry pickers, DQs, SSHs, Mt Climbers, WWIIs, Merkins.
The Thang:
Since the Dog Pile guys were missing a DTH beatdown across town, I thought it would be fun to serve up a little number I got from DTH called…
Burpee Back Mountain –
We partnered up for a Dora. P1 was the timer and ran up and down the Amphitheater steps while P2 did Burpees (100 total).
Fail to Succeed – Many times you gotta fail before you succeed, so we stopped by the Rusty Cage, did Pull ups to failure, 5 Jump Squats & 20 LBCs (OYO, 3 rounds total).
Red Light, Green Light –
Lined up at the Carillon, called an exercise and controlled the Traffic Light. When Red Light was called, we stopped and did the exercise, with no stopping until Green Light was called. When Green Light was called, we ran like hell. First HIM across the field got to pick the next exercise and control the Traffic Light for the run back. Heist won, as did Boberry, Purple Rain and Yee Haw. We did some Plank Jacks, APDs, Flutters and Merkins. I thought this was a Mr. Rogers original, but Handshake let me know all my exercises are stolen.
Curbed Enthusiasm –
Grab some curb, 1 Ball Dipper, Bear crawl across street to another curb, Crawl Bear back, 2 BDs, etc, up to 5 BDs. Same idea w/ Merkins and Hops, then Heals to Heaven w/ a Crab Walk, then Handshake shook things up with more reps, SSHs and a Backwards Walk/Stretch/Junk Accentuator that he probably stole from one of the Star Wars movies, but I wouldn’t know, since I’m not as nerdy as Boberry 🙂 At some point in all of this, the Pax sang HBD to me, followed by a few lines from the Mister Rogers theme song. Thx guys! As I face the big Four Five tmrw, it came to the light that Hitch already hit 46 on Wed (he strongly declares that he’s still in his mid-forties, not the late-forties – fair enough) and on the 9th Yee Haw will celebrate some much lower number. HBD Hitch and Yee Haw!
Back to the Amphitheater to work our way down the steps with Dips, Flutters and Merkins. All were instructed to do as many as they wanted because it’s YVY and mumble chatter’s a lot more fun than counting.
BTTF. Numbers. Names.
Announcements:
Gypsy’s pet project Shood offically starts on 11/12/23, but we can get on it early. Bring gently used shoes to DTH in SOJ, Corned Beef in Da-Ville and YHC at Dog Pile.
Yee Haw’s daughter Liv wrapped up Chemo this week and is home from the hospital. So awesome! Prayer works. Keep ’em comin’ HIMs.
It’s Sober October and it’s never too late to jump on this train. Keep up the good work Heist, Fudd, Purple Rain, DTH, Wildcat (anyone else?!?) Let’s goooooooo!!!!
Prayer Requests: Continued prayers for baby Liv, prayers to have the SkyQ show us the next member of F3 (he’s out there, he needs us and we need him). And Hitch encouraged us to remember the guys that haven’t posted in a while. Reach out. Check on them. Invite them back out. Who knows what difference it could make.
YHC took us out.
Final thought: EF Hutton, for next year’s Gloomies, if we have a Shortest-Coffeeteria-Stay category, right now Yee Haw and Heist are in the lead. 35 seconds is the time to beat. Haha! Enjoy the weekend gents thanks for letting me lead!
