4 pax showed for YHC’s maiden Pullen Park Q. In normal YHC fashion, we had to do and go someplace new [to YHC].
Warm-up jog to NCSU Court with stops on the way; SSH, merkins, low plank hold [10 ct around with FNG sloooow counting – I like this guy already], and quick feet.
Gather at the top of the stairs for . …Did I say double 7’s or 11’s? Doesn’t matter, Callahan made rookie mistake and mentioned 11’s, so 11’s it was. Starting at top, jog down stairs to wall for 10 double ct Monkey Humpers, jump wall and 1 double ct merkin at lower path, return jumping over wall with 10 ct Starjumps, back up the stairs for 1 Burpee. Complete 11’s and then pick up the sixes.
Mosey to the double hand rail for spider monkeys the full length, lunge walk to the next rail, and aussie pull-ups and dying cockroach 5-10-15-10-5 pyramid.
Fellowship run around the corner for box jumps and LBC 5-10-15-10-5 pyramid. Omaha called as we nearly lost our FNG, 5-10-5.
With FNG’s head spinning, fellowship jog back to Pullen with several stops on the way: bear crawl through the tunnel, 15 slow count full extension dips, 15 merkins, 40 count low plank hold, crawl bear up the hill, and Billy run at bottom of pullen stairs back to COT. YHC heard Callahan on his heals so picked up the pace and came oh so close to spilling merlot.
Mary speed round with the pax calling out and counting their own: hello Dolly, scuba Buddha, superman swimmers [FNG callout and count – but he gets it], and 10 ct oblique crunch left and right. Well done boys, that’s a wrap.
Welcome FNG “FARVA” aka Jack Davies whose is applying to become NC State Trooper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_UvfESHUjI
Announcements. K2C, Mule and Bull, Mud Run April 30
Prayer concerns: Callahans preggo wife due in June, Banjo heading to Knoxville next weekend to celebrate daughters 20th BD, others not mentioned.
YHC asked the Pax call out one word that will guide them through 2016.
•Comfort zone: let’s get out of it.
•Patience: need more of it
•Grace: trying to live with it
•And YHC totally forgot Callahans word but I know it had to do with being the father he know we know he will be
YHC took us out in prayer and it went something like this:
God, help me to remember each day and every moment that you have our sixes.
Grant us the strength to live forward, to not focus on our transgressions but to live out a right and just life.
The best defense is a good offense. Act as we know you have lifted our burdens.
NAKED MOLESKIN:
1. It was a somewhat quiet morning with only 4 pax.
2. With smaller group, the PAX got to know FNG throughout the workout.
3. Callahan made the terrible mistake of asking if it was 11’s when YHC had called out 7’s. [Head shaking by all].
4. FNG was challenged to point of exhaustion and swimming head. Later that day, he said he loved it and will be back.
5. Pax of 2 HATES, 1 thirty something, and 1 “respect”.
6. YHC’s second FNG was thought to be a no show. We waited 2 minutes beyond start to see if he would arrive. He was a HC the night before. Later that day, YHC receives text that 1like this:
Potential FNG: “I was abandoned”
YHC: “We start on time, arrive on time!”
PFNG: “I was there, arrived at 6:45. I got out and took my jacket off and turned around and you were gone”
YHC: “We start on time”
YHC saw forerunner with supposed FNG not knowing it was him.
Thank you for the opportunity
