Fortunately for the PAX (and YHC) Banjo reminded me yesterday that I was Q’ing. What to do? What to do? Luckily, a package arrived in the mail – and the workout just wrote itself. 20 men showed up ready to put in some work on this hot, muggy morning. What’s that wenke you got there, Ma Bell? You’ll see. At 0545 we were off. Jog out and around to the community center parking lot and circle up for:
Warm-Up
- 40 x Merkins (were you really expecting anything else?)
- 15 x SSH IC
- 20 x Merkins (’cause I’m Ma Bell! That’s why!)
- 10 x Imperial Walkers IC
- 10 x Merkins
- 10 x Prisoner Squats IC
Jog across the street and down the hill to the kiosk for:
The Thang
Dang it’s dark down there at 0550 or so. Hard to read a wenke. Anyway, about the package. It was our NC State season football tickets, which made it like Christmas in August. And, after all, football season is the most wonderful time of the year. Hence, the reprisal of Ma Bell’s 12 Days of Christmas
On the 1st Day of Christmas: 1 run up the hill and back
On the 2nd Day of Christmas: 2 Jump Knee Tucks…and 1 run up the hill and back
3rd: 3 Dying Cockroaches (4-count)…and so on
4th: 4 Mt Climbers (4-count)
5th: 5 Sphinx Merkins (it’s in the lexicon)
6th: 6 Hydraulic Squats
7th: 7 Clurpees
(Squat hold to regroup)
8th: 8 x LBCs (4-count)
9th: 9 Merkin Rolls
10th: 10 Star Jumps
11th: 11 Imperial Squats (4-count)
12th: 12 Makhtar N’Diayes
(To be fair, we ran out of time and really only got through the full 11 days, but then tagged on 12 Makhtar N’Dieayes and a final run up the hill)
Jog back up the hill back to Billy corner, turn it and burn it back home. Burt looked like he had jumped in Bond Lake. Hot Spot eschewed his normal hill workout for what turned out to be…a hill workout.
COT
Count-a-rama: 20
Name-a-rama: 1 hate, a few Respects, a buncha mehs
Announcements: 9/11 stair climb (plus the 911 merkin challenge) at Carter-Finley at 0630, Probably going to be a Raleigh / Carpex convergence on Labor Day. Probably at Pullen. More to come. Banjo is looking to do a 17:30 or 18:00 weekday workout if anyone is interested.
Prayers: City of Milwaukee unrest, Flood victims in Louisiana
BOM: Ma Bell took us out
Strong work today, men. Each of you got better, and that’s what F3 is all about!
